This season, Justin Herbert was supposed to lead the Chargers forward into the realms of a genuine contender. Instead, it's been a confounding tale of woe, pockmarked by so many missed opportunities.
No one wanted to hear it. Not your fault, Justin. That was the common thread. Take those apologies and stash them in your pocket. We're not interested in hearing them.
But he's not firing at his best right now and the Chargers aren't getting it done, and the reality is growing that the blame can't be entirely talked away by criticisms of head coach Brandon Staley. Or the upheaval of having a new offensive coordinator in Kellen Moore. Or just that fact that stuff always seems to go wrong for the Chargers., tying him to the franchise for the next five years.
Under-pressure coach Staley is pinged with most of the ire whenever anything goes wrong with the Chargers and much of that is justified, but it must also be asked right now if Herbert is pulling the kind of weight that such a whopping contract demands. "He is big, strong, a 4.2 biology major, accurate and mobile. He checks every box. For those questioning him, ask yourself a question: What away from Justin Herbert do they do well? Run game, special teams, defense? No. What they do well is they are great in the red zone offensively. They don't turn the ball over. All the things they do well are tied to Justin Herbert.
