I'm not saying keep him on the pine all year - I'm saying that another 6-8 weeks as a backup won't fundamentally alter his trajectory and in fact may speed his long-term development along by allowing him to focus on learning the technical aspects of quarterbacking AND the overarching concepts of an NFL offense.

Your plan is playing Herbert just to play him. It doesn't make the Chargers better and it doesn't make Herbert better. It just plays the rookie because he's there.

You don't take a kid as green as Herbert is and try to play his slice while trying to correct it on the fly.

Let the kid learn and give him his live-fire run in the latter half of the season. The Chargers are better in the near and long term that way and Justin Herbert will likely benefit over any meaningful timeline from it as well.

You can't get greener than Carson wentz and Josh Allen. Herbert isn't going to be ruined unless hes easily rattled or his mechanics are a complete mess. Doubt that's the case. He is way less green than mahomes was. He gives the team a better chance of winning now than tyrod and the in game experience is incredibly valuable. And he has a perfect situation where the team can help him out. I just don't see the downside of playing him. It's just not as risky these days to immediately throw a qb into the fire.
