The world of cyberspace is plain, simple, and boring without rage bait, we can all agree. Especially, the ones that say something but mean something else. Likewise was noticed in one of the recent tweets of MLFootball. So, the official X account of MLFootball wrote, “27-year-old Justin Herbert would be the Philadelphia #Eagles all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns throughly 7 seasons — despite Justin only playing in 5. 😱😱😱Herbert would have already been the greatest quarterback in Philly team history.” When it clearly meant - “Los Angeles Chargers” instead of Philadelphia Eagles, and J-H(Justin Herbert) of Los Angeles Chargers instead of J-H(Jalen Hurts) of Philadelphia Eagles! Both of them belong to the 2020 NFL Draft. The Los Angeles Chargers picked Herbert, and the Philadelphia Eagles picked Hurts. Anyway, MLFootball’s word play is interesting, so is the rage bait, but Justin Herbert’s stats? They are truly insane.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert surpasses Hall of Famer Peyton Manning for the most career passing yards in the first five seasons

In December 2024, Omar Navarro of the NFL Network reported that Justin Herbert surpassed 20,619 career passing yards, which passed Hall of Famer Peyton Manning for the most in NFL history through the first five seasons.
The NFL legend had secured 20,618 career passing yards in his first five seasons. That is not all! That one mark separated these two history creators elsewhere, too. Hear us out. In the first five seasons, Peyton Manning threw 138 touchdowns. And, the Chargers quarterback? He threw 137 touchdowns! No wonder it was an insane stat! Now, let’s check out some fan reactions.

Fans react to Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert’s insane stat record

On July 9, when MLFootball shared a rage-baiting stat record of Justin Herbert, netizens reacted immediately. From one fan wondering, “Why are we doing this?” to another calling it, “This is dumb.” A third netizen mentioned Philadelphia Eagles’ star quarterback Jalen Hurts, “Would have won a Super Bowl like hurts though. Hurts is a winner and gets the job done ✅” Majority of the fans added another stat to the insane record of Chargers quarterback - that he had never won a Super Bowl - “0 Super Bowl wins,” “How many super bowls has he been to and won? Oh that’s right...0,” “Passings yards and TDs don’t dictate “best franchise QB” LOL, Super Bowls do. So….. yeah,” and “All that to not make the playoffs.” An X user was too blunt, "All that to not make the playoffs"Also Read: “Never slap my a** again”: Rob Gronkowski acquired an amusing lesson from Vita Vea at Tampa Bay Buccaneers | NFL News - Times of India
