NFL execs believe Justin Herbert looks ‘confused and overwhelmed’ in new offense

Three games into the season, the Los Angeles Chargers have suffered three consecutive losses amid struggles from their newly revamped offensive system. League evaluators note that quarterback Justin Herbert appears lost and overwhelmed within the fresh scheme implemented by offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, which requires rapid reactions and quick releases rather than the deep throws and play-action styles Herbert typically prefers.
