Emmanuel Acho Sound Off on Justin Herbert
The Chargers have started their season with a 0-2 record. In this game, Herbert completed 15 of 27 passes for 192 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. He also took three sacks in the game.
“Justin Herbert is a top 10 quarterback,” Acho said. “He’s a top 10 worst quarterback in football right now. Let’s just keep it a bean. I watched Justin Herbert quite literally fumble in his own end zone just kind of throwing the ball away casually… Looks like trash. How are you so bad that your gravitational pull has made [Jim] Harbaugh bad? Harbaugh ain’t started 0 and 2 at any level. at any level. National championship Harbaugh Super Bowl attending Harbaugh and you so bad right now that you’ve made a brainiac in Mike McDaniel and a stud of a head coach in Harbaugh look bad.
“Some picks going off your receivers’s hands, but some picks just coming out of your hands,” Acho continued. “Fumble here, fumble there. Everybody gets a fumble. You’ve got a fumble. Justin Herbert is right now about as bad as any quarterback in the National Football League. And I’m going to let the disrespect be as loud as the praise. Cuz everybody always say make sure the praise as loud as the disrespect. I’m going to make sure the disrespect is as loud as the praise cuz right now his play is disrespectful. So this take got to be too.”

After the match, Herbert, Derwin James Jr., and head coach Jim Harbaugh talked about the team’s poor performance.
“There’s a room full of grown men that can handle their job and they’re going to do everything they can to correct it and fix it,” Herbert said. “We’re going to stick together. It’s tough. No one wants to lose two games but there’s nothing we can do about it now.”
“We just have to be better,” Herbert added. “That’s not good enough and we can’t expect to win games when we’re playing like that.”
Derwin James Jr. called the team’s performance ‘trash,’ while Harbaugh said that the team would watch the match tape and work on their mistakes.
