Breer: McDaniel Aims to Unlock Herbert's MVP Path with Chargers

Albert Breer's mailbag argues Mike McDaniel can lift Justin Herbert toward MVP contention by speeding up and simplifying the Chargers’ offense: a stronger O-line anchored by Tyler Biadasz, a top-notch receiver group (Ladd McConkey, Tre Harris), and a more efficient run game (Omarion Hampton) to reduce mental load and facilitate quicker decisions. The piece also covers McDaniel’s potential future, Chiefs’ outlook, 2027 NFL draft timing, Eagles’ hesitation on Jalen Carter’s contract, a notable 'what-if' Brees to Miami scenario, the best GM/coach/QB in today’s NFL, Rams’ offensive-line questions, field-surface debates for the CBA, Vikings’ QB decision between Kyler Murray and JJ McCarthy, Cowboys’ Pickens vs Lamb money dynamics, and Brendan Sorsby’s potential supplemental draft entry.
