Chargers' Jim Harbaugh Praises Justin Herbert With Supernatural Honorific
Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh has a fun phrase to describe his quarterback, Justin Herbert.
As the Los Angeles Chargers football season approaches, head coach Jim Harbaugh has been effusive in his praise for quarterback Justin Herbert. Speaking to CBS Los Angeles reporters Darren Haynes and Chris Hayre, Harbaugh proclaimed Herbert as the "guardian of victory" for the team. He emphasized that the Chargers have been successful in every game this year and the previous two seasons thanks to Herbert's presence.
"Look to the 2025 season if you have any questions," Harbaugh stated. "We’ve won zero games without Justin Herbert being the guardian of victory in every single one of those games."
Harbaugh's use of the term "guardian of victory" is not new; he has employed it before, notably while coaching the Michigan Wolverines. However, he noted that Herbert's role has evolved beyond simply preventing turnovers and sacks. "He's growing into a quarterback who can create opportunities," Harbaugh said. "Same way Derwin [James] does.
We don’t win too many without him finishing it and doing the walk-off on a bunch of those. And [Khalil Mack]. A lot of grit, a lot of investment went into last season to find a way to win those games. Like any investment, you want the dividend. Now’s the time to get some of those dividends back."
