Jim Harbaugh is setting Chargers’ Justin Herbert up for failure with sensationalized hype

The Los Angeles Chargers found themselves on the losing end of their Week 1 game, and it appears that head coach Jim Harbaugh’s excessive praise for quarterback Justin Herbert is not sitting well with the team. Though Herbert possesses the talent to become a top-tier NFL quarterback, his lack of postseason success remains a subject of much debate.

The Chargers' signal caller is receiving a fair amount of criticism for the team's loss against the Arizona Cardinals, a team that was expected to struggle this season. Harbaugh's constant hype of Herbert isn't helping the situation as the NFL season is only in its early stages. With a tough division and a challenging schedule ahead, the Chargers are in desperate need of some positive momentum to avoid further criticism.
