what fans talked about, week by week

Season-long

Early blame over picks and tipped balls gave way to fans defending Herbert as a trapped warrior, before Week 8 had them calling him the league's worst QB and debating a trade.
“The fact that the Chargers ended up having to kick a FG after the otherworldly throw from Herbert to QJ coming out of the half tells you everything about the hopelessness of the situation he's in.”
