Quentin Johnston fights off bust allegations with career day for Chargers

One of the biggest storylines for the LA Chargers entering the 2024 season was Quentin Johnston's sophomore year. After such a disappointing rookie season, Johnston desperately needed to earn his keep in the NFL to fight off the claims of him being a bust. After a serviceable Week 1 game that did not do enough to completely thwart those allegations, Johnston has flipped the script in Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. Johnston hauled in not one, but two, first-half touchdowns against the Panthers on Sunday. In just two quarters of action, Johnston matched his entire yearly touchdown total from his rookie season. It is great to see Johnston turn in a career-defining game so early in his sophomore season after a rookie season that was nothing but negative. If Johnston was ever going to turn a corner and right the ship, he needed to have a game like this early in the season to boost his confidence. Granted, Johnston has to do much more than have one strong half against what might be the worst team in the NFL
