Yes, he should be traded to the Bears - you can have all our 2024 draft picks and Justin Fields.

Here are the players that don’t need to be held accountable:

Justin Herbert Keenan Allen Khalil Mack Tuli tuipolotu Josh Palmer Mike Williams Morgan fox

  • LAC v Miami: 4 point lead, 2 minutes left. Lost 36-34.
  • LAC v Tenn: 4 point lead, 3 minutes left. Lost 27-24 in OT.
  • LAC v Dallas: Tied, 3 minutes left. Lost 20-17.
  • LAC v Detroit: Tied, 3 minutes left. Lost 41-38.
  • LAC v Green Bay: 4 point lead, 3 minutes left. Lost 23-20.

Why would Herbert do this? 🤷

Yeah it’s Herbies fault, why isn’t he volunteering to throw to himself. Why isn’t he calling the defense, these are answers I demand immediately

Chargers have scored more points than the chiefs this year. Offense is fine (other than when they blow the protection in the 2-minute drill & let a free rusher tee off on Herbert at the end of each game)

Low bar

[–] Autobot-N@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Do we though

[–] FatherDamo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

9 for us is a little generous. We will need to earn top ten with a win in Houston methinks.

[–] Old_Web374@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Herbert is the inverse Jalen Hurts this year.

[–] NEpatsfan64@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

give herbert the second best WR room in the league, the best OL, the best DL, and a competent coaching staff and see how he plays lmao

[–] TeddysRevenge@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Herbert is the reason they’ve won as many games as they have

Once he starts playing defense, I’ll start blaming Chargers losses on him

[–] Funnypenguin97@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

God he reminds me of Stafford so much

[–] natethegreat838@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I was literally about to say the same thing

[–] AshBlackstone78@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The real is issue is coaching. It’s among the worst in the league. Solve that, and they’ll start winning.

[–] hoppergym@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I want him on this team for his entire career but I also want him to go to a good organization just to prove all these ridiculous hot take artists wrong. It’s Philip rivers all over again.

[–] JT1757@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

not even clicking that bs. the title is ridiculous

[–] Comprehensive_Main@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lots of Herbert defenders in this sun. Man is supposed to be this elite qb but he’s not performing Iike one. His play is on par with Russell Wilson this year. Hell he’s actually performing slightly worse than Wilson

[–] NEpatsfan64@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

purdy has put up worse stats than him despite having a better o-line, better defense, better WR room, better WR room, and an actually competent coaching staff

[–] QuirkyScorpio29@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know what you mean by worse....Purdy is leading the league in almost every single passing metric so this is factually incorrect.

BTW,Keenan Allen,Mike Williams and Austin Ekeler are a top position group too.

You can defend Herbert without grasping at straws.Staley is the problem...but Purdy has been the best QB in the NFL this season so you should keep his name out of your Herbert defense lol.

[–] fatcootermeat@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The 9ers would trade Purdy and 3 firsts for Herbert if he was made available clown

[–] thy_armageddon@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well if there’s anyone who won’t have bias in the arguments, it’s a sports-betting writer.

[–] DryDefenderRS@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well we don't, that's the team's job.

Failing to score on a 2 min drill against the Ravens is pretty bad though. That, and if you spend basically the entire game trailing, any decent QB is going to run up his stats from optimal aggressive pass-heavy playcalling.

[–] BlackMathNerd@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Get him some coaching that doesn’t suck

[–] pickleparty16@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Herber is the only reason I worry about playing the chargers

[–] witchgrove@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Herbert really is Romo reborn. Brain dead take.

[–] Blind_Melone@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Hes the dude spraying Pam all over our WR/RB's hands!

[–] Rapidceltic@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is a 2 win team with 20+ starting QBs in the league.

[–] CodyNorthrup@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Fine you can come to SF too, but there’s only 1 catch.

I can only pay you $1M 🥶

[–] onnthwanno@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I want to see any current WB do better with this cursed franchise. How about this, the team as available is bad.

Receiving room had three playmakers, down to one some practice squad players and a potential 1st round bust. Does Williams drop that game winner against GB I doubt it.

O-Line a strength of the team in the preseason is a shell without competent Center play. Linsey is probably retiring due to a heart condition. Right side is playing awful and can’t adjust, can Herbert set the blocking better, yeah but that wasn’t a need with Linsey.

RB room is barren. Austin is a shell of himself following the injury. Spiller and Kelley are non-factors with little upside at this point. Line does them no favors with horrible run blocking.

TE is the relative strength which should tell you something. Everett has been a nice FA signing and Parham is a good contested space weapon. Both have had injuries and missed time.

[–] natethegreat838@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Blaming Justin Herbert for the Charger's problems was not on my 2023 Bingo card

[–] A_Style_of_Fire@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I will trade you my franchise QB’s failures and unaccountability and we’ll just call it square, k?

[–] heelhooksarefun@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No quarterback in history can overcome how bad the team is this year.

[–] Easy-Priority-2703@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don't understand why people are so determined to bury Herbert

[–] OatmealKing93@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I remember when there offense was going to be way better under Kellen Moore
