Dan Orlovsky Predicts Justin Herbert's Success on The Pat McAfee Show

ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky shared his predictions for Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. He expressed confidence that the Chargers will surpass the Kansas City Chiefs this season and that Herbert will emerge as a top-five MVP candidate by Thanksgiving.

Orlovsky highlighted the Chargers' offensive potential, noting their strong roster, including depth at tight end and running back, and emphasized the importance of a healthy offensive line. Despite Herbert's impressive rookie season in 2020, where he threw for over 4,300 yards, he has faced challenges in playoff situations, with a record of 0-3.

This offseason, the Chargers hired former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel as their new playcaller and invested in their offensive line by drafting four new players. Orlovsky praised McDaniel's hiring, suggesting it will be beneficial for Herbert, who will need to adapt his throwing style to fit McDaniel's offensive strategy.
