Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel is focused on transforming quarterback Justin Herbert's game by enhancing his footwork, timing, and anticipation. McDaniel believes that Herbert has the potential to 'own the position' and play the best football of his career. Last season, Herbert excelled with quick throws, achieving six touchdowns and three interceptions on releases within 2.4 seconds. However, his efficiency declined with longer throws, highlighting the need for improvement in this area. McDaniel noted that while Herbert is capable of extending plays, he often waits too long to throw, which can lead to fewer yards after the catch. The offseason program has already begun to implement these changes, and McDaniel has been impressed by Herbert's adaptability and willingness to learn new techniques. He has also used comparisons to other quarterbacks from Herbert's draft class to motivate him, emphasizing that Herbert is a competitor who responds to challenges.
