Chargers OC McDaniel Aims to Unlock Herbert's Untapped Potential with Easier Plays

New Chargers OC Mike McDaniel is "geeked" to work with Justin Herbert, believing the 27-year-old quarterback "hasn't neared his ceiling." McDaniel's priority is to alleviate pressure on Herbert, who has yet to secure a playoff win and faced the highest duress rate this season. He plans to implement "easier completions" and initially coach away from "off-schedule stuff" to maximize Herbert's potential, while still leveraging his deep-ball accuracy. McDaniel chose the Chargers over head coaching opportunities, citing the chance to work with Jim Harbaugh.
