All-Pro safety Derwin James said QB Justin Herbert doesn't deserve the criticism for the Chargers' playoff woes, and calls out a soon-to-be free agent wide receiver to think about Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Chargers left a lot to be desired offensively in 2024 after only mustering 12 points in a 31-12 wild card loss to the Houston Texans. A lot of criticism pointed towards quarterback Justin Herbert after his 4 interception performance against the Texans, but the problems stretch beyond his underwhelming outing.

Chargers safety Derwin James is pushing back against the criticism surrounding quarterback Justin Herbert after a brutal playoff performance.

Justin Herbert has faced all kinds of criticism, but he has the full support of Derwin James, who recently took the opportunity to defend him on Micah Parsons' podcast with a strong message for the doubters.

Herbert has been a model of consistency since entering the league, earning multiple Pro Bowl selections and setting franchise records. Still, narratives around the Los Angeles Chargers' struggles have often overshadowed his individual success.
