Jim Harbaugh’s take on QB Justin’s toughness

Under Harbaugh’s guidance, Justin Herbert has surely made some waves. Now he is being hailed as one of the toughest quarterbacks in the NFL by the very HC who might have been responsible for his ‘toughness‘. That’s quite the compliment, especially since the player Herbert took over for was also known for the same thing.

Harbaugh, who had a solid 14-year career as a quarterback himself, used to think he was “the toughest quarterback ever.” But now, after seeing Herbert’s impressive 6-foot-6 frame and playing style, he believes the young QB has him beat in that department.

Harbaugh has witnessed Herbert play through some serious pain, like when he dealt with rib issues. Even after suffering a high ankle sprain in Week 2, Herbert bounced back and played in the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is pretty remarkable since most players would be sidelined for at least a month with that kind of injury.

Throughout his five-year career, Herbert has shown incredible resilience, battling through various injuries. In the 2022 season, he sprained his ankle during a game against Kansas City but still managed to play every game. In 2023, he kept going, even with a broken finger on his left hand.

This tough mindset and physical durability give the Chargers a significant edge. Their current 5-3 record and the chance to secure a third straight win against the Tennessee Titans this week can largely be attributed to Herbert’s consistent performance. Well, it’s safe to say the Dad Jokes Cracker Coach is paving a way for the playoffs with his ‘tough‘ QB. And come January we’ll know whether they make it or not!
