Chargers (7-6) are dangerous because of Justin Herbert, who's leaning more into his athleticism. Among NFC QBs, Jalen Hurts is the man.

Justin Herbert’s performance Sunday left no room for doubt that he’s an extraordinary leader at age 24.A slight wrinkle was that Herbert moved around more and with improved refinement.By leaning into his athleticism, the massive QB enabled many of his 39 completions and averted bad plays in the Chargers’ 23-17 victory over the Dolphins. His light-footed maneuvers assisted an offensive line that lacked its star left tackle and regular right tackle.

Mahomes, 27, sets a new standard with his large bag of playmaking. His attention to detail produces many successes that don’t make the highlight clips. Burrow, 26, is noticeably more fluid and quicker than a year ago, when he played through knee ailments and was coming off reconstructive knee surgery. He’s brilliant out of empty formations. He throws with pinpoint anticipation as few can.He’s more physical this year, at 23. In a blink, his fast-twitch laser throws can threaten the downfield perimeter.

Six-foot-1 and 222 pounds when he tested for the 2020 NFL Draft, Hurts is stronger than he appears at first glance. During his 2019 season at Oklahoma, videos surfaced of him squatting 600 pounds.
