STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Herbert could break Manning's TD record in McDaniel's system; MVP potential.

The source makes a bold projection that Justin Herbert is the best quarterback to ever play in a Kyle Shanahan-esque system and could potentially break Peyton Manning's passing touchdown record under Mike McDaniel's offensive system. Herbert is described as one of the fastest processors in the NFL with superior physical tools compared to other top quarterbacks, and the source suggests he might win MVP in 2026. The Chargers' offensive line upgrade and McDaniel's system design are cited as enabling factors for historic passing production.
