RAGE BAIT ALERT! Justin Herbert of the Philadelphia Eagles, and not of the Los Angeles Chargers, is an NFL career passing yards leader
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.'

Tom Brady slams Scottie Scheffler for choosing fatherhood over glory, says greatness doesn't wait for diapers
Tom Brady was critical of golfer Scottie Scheffler for prioritizing his family over his sporting career (Getty Images) In a headline-grabbing moment, NFL icon Tom Brady stirred debate across the sports world by calling out world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler for putting family ahead of his professional ambitions. Speaking via his website, Brady reflected on his own mindset during his record-setting football career, highlighting a very different philosophy on what it means to provide for loved ones. Tom Brady questions Scheffler 's priorities and defends his own path to greatness Tom Brady has stirred controversy once again—this time by taking aim at PGA Tour star Scottie Scheffler's decision to prioritize family life during peak competition. In a candid reflection, Brady questioned whether true greatness can coexist with parenthood, igniting a heated debate about sacrifice, legacy, and what defines a champion. "Scottie said he would rather be a better father and husband than a good golfer," Brady noted. "I think by prioritizing my profession and leading by example I was doing the best thing for my family." Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion and future Hall of Famer, suggested that being a great parent includes showing children what sacrifice, focus, and relentless ambition look like. 'Part of being a great father is setting a great example of doing whatever it takes to take care of the family. I chose to do that by playing football.' Tom Brady says family and success aren't mutually exclusive For Brady, the conversation isn't about either/or. He emphasized that family and career goals can—and should—coexist as part of a broader life structure. 'Both are connected, why are they mutually exclusive?' he questioned. 'My dedication to the sport, the hours of training, the moments of total concentration; those were moments when I think I was doing my best for my family and my children.' He also challenged the widely held idea that being present physically is the only mark of a good parent: "Reading them bedtime stories and helping them with homework is not the only way to be a good parent." Brady's comments raise broader questions about how society defines success and balance. In a time when athletes like Scheffler are praised for choosing family first, Brady's stance reflects a traditional, results-first mentality: 'When the priority is to take care of your career... that's what you do.'

Micah Parsons trade request: 6 teams, including Lions and Bills, in the run to land Cowboys star
Micah Parsons could be leaving the Dallas Cowboys soon. The 26-year-old edge rusher requested a trade, urging Jerry Jones and co to reach a contract deal. While the franchise is yet to issue an official statement on the situation, it is being reported that the Cowboys do not want to trade Parsons. Dallas Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons speaks to reporters after training camp Tuesday(AP) 'Still, teams around the league are planning to reach out to check on his availability today,' the Athletics' Dianna Russini reported on Friday. Details are yet to be revealed, but we have a list of at least six teams, including the Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills, who could be interested in signing the 2021 defensive rookie of the year. Read More: Micah Parsons vs Cowboys: Here's what went wrong with contract negotiations amid trade row Meanwhile, several of Parsons' teammates have gone all out to support him. CeeDee Lamb and Trevon Diggs are among the Cowboys stars to post about the situation. The former went on to even tweet: 'Pay him more'. Micah Parsons' potential landing spots 1. Buffalo Bills The Bills are in Super Bowl-or-bust mode. Even with Joey Bosa now on the roster, another elite pass rusher like Parsons would add a terrifying dimension to their defense. 2. Los Angeles Chargers Khalil Mack remains productive but is nearing the end of his prime. Pairing Parsons with Tuli Tuipulotu, who recorded eight sacks last season, could supercharge Jim Harbaugh's defensive unit. 3. Seattle Seahawks With veterans like Leonard Williams and DeMarcus Lawrence aging, the Seahawks could consider going all-in for Parsons, a move that aligns with their aggressive roster strategy. Read More: Micah Parsons trade row: Trevon Diggs, CeeDee Lamb, 2 other Cowboys respond with 'One Last Ride' post 4. Washington Commanders Though trading within the NFC East would be highly unlikely, Washington desperately needs a dominant edge presence. Parsons could be a franchise-changing addition, if Jerry Jones is willing to take the risk. 5. Chicago Bears The Bears have talent on offense and a solid piece in Montez Sweat defensively, but the pass rush lacks depth. Parsons could instantly transform Chicago's front seven. 6. Detroit Lions With Aidan Hutchinson returning from injury and the Lions firmly in their Super Bowl window, adding Parsons could push Detroit's defense over the top.
