Herbert was the only good player on either offense

Nice work OP. Pretty interesting metric and I’m mad for not coming up with this idea myself lol.

Herbert is really undervalued by betting markets right now relative to his stats.

If the Chargers can rattle off a few wins in a row Herbert will be back in the MVP race, even from a distance.

Can think of at least a handful of current NFL QBs who got injured that way:

• Herbert fractured finger 4 weeks ago

• Mayfield torn labrum in 2021

• Dalton fractured thumb in 2015

If you’re a fringe QB then yeah probably worth putting in the effort to help the team win but if you’re even an average league starter, potentially stopping a bigger return is not worth the really high injury risk and the lost value of you missing time with injury.
