Bootleg Football on Justin Herbert

McDaniel pairing has backfired; unclear what situation change could unlock Herbert's talent.

Drake May expresses uncertainty about how to unlock Herbert's talent, noting the Mike McDaniel pairing has done the opposite of helping. Herbert's reserved demeanor and lack of emotional volatility were concerns at the Senior Bowl regarding leadership, though teammates responded to him. The core problem remains unsolved: Herbert is a very talented, tough, and historically smart player who has tipped over the line into recklessness this season, and it's unclear what situation change (coaching, team, system) would restore his 2023 form or unlock further growth.
