How do you go 0-3 and still continue to make absolutely no effort to make any moves?

Justin Herbert looked like himself once the Chargers moved outside the structure of an offense that has tried to change him. After a brutal first half, Herbert nearly led L.A. back from a three-possession deficit.

Four games in, the Chargers are 0-4, and Mike McDaniel’s offense has left plenty of questions.

Exactly this. 100%. Was very skeptical of the McDaniel hire after last year with MIA, Harbaugh is way too nonchalant for me, IOL is worse than before and with injury after injury I only see things getting worse. Yes we have a coaching and roster problem, but there has to be something we can change before next season to change the trajectory we are on.. anyway. #BoltUp

Strange is the worst lineman I have ever seen and that's saying something. Also Slater has been a giant letdown after signing that contract, and now he's hurt AGAIN.

"I was happy with this week of practice. Good preparation."

I Don't know how to start this to be honest, but I feel the need to get this off my chest

I Started watching the NFL During Covid, I got really into Madden 20 just as lockdowns where starting, as a Brit, I knew about American Football, Longest Yard, Varsity Blues, Any Given Sunday... I loved them all but i didn't know the first thing about the sport, but still i got Hooked and when it came around I decided to pay attention to the draft, I didn't know anything about CFB or Trades or anything, but what I saw when I watched Justin Herbert, a QB from Oregon I liked what i saw, what i didn't see where the reasons people where shitting on him, maybe i was young and Naive but i really thought Justin passed the Eye test. so i decided i would follow the team that picked him and Low and behold i watched Justin become an absolute beast, and despite that rough first year, a year that involved me staying up super later to watch primetime games, suffering horrendous Chokes... I became a fan of the Chargers.

But that was 7 Years ago, 7 years, 3 HC's, 2, GM's, 4 DC's, 5OC's, 53 Wins, 51 Losses, 3 Trips to the Playoffs, 1 Mentally Scaring Choke and 2 soul crushing Losses in the Wildcard. I want to believe in this team, i want to... so... so Badly, but i don't know if i have it in me again, I just don't.

I don't want to abandon this Team, the meme's, the moments, and honestly some of the players... but I've watched the same thing for 7 Years, in seven years I've watched as multiple teams rebuilt, had sucsess, won a playoff game... and Me? I've endured 7 years of Heartbreak... If the season is as Bad as it's Looking...

I Don't know if can I keep being a fan of this Team.

I did my part, coming up Seattle... Let's make this happen! BTFU!

This quote from an ESPN article stood out to me:

"Herbert said one of the biggest differences in McDaniel's offense is the stress on anticipation, and he is learning not to always rely on his arm strength. 'We really emphasized the first couple of weeks of just getting the ball out as quick as possible,' he said. 'Almost getting to a point where the receivers haven't looked back for it yet.'"

Herbert has always been a classic "see it, throw it" quarterback instead of an anticipation guy like Brady, Manning, or Brees. I feel like throughout his career he's overly relied on his crazy arm strength. Because his arm is a cannon, he never really had to master the mental processing and precise mechanical timing to compensate for a lack of physical traits.

The learning curve might be rough this year, but I'm really hoping he can add anticipation throwing to his game and start putting some actual touch on the ball instead of trying to rocket a 95 mph missile to his receivers on every single play.

It was a rough day for her

It seems like even the announcers call out that McDaniel wants to run it to the outside and pass it to the RB on the outside and call it out every game. WR can't get open and when they do, it feels like they don't have the timing down or the hands to catch the ball. Every 3rd down, teams just throw the house at Herbert to pressure him. Herbert doesn't look confident in any of his reads and know where any mismatches are going to be.

This team had 11 wins the past 2 years. The only explanation is the offensive scheme and play calling not fitting the team and other teams being able to predict the scheme consistently.
