STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Herbert's 209 yards and three sacks signal early struggles in McDaniel's system.

Herbert completed just 17 of 27 passes for 209 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Chargers' 26-14 season-opening loss to Arizona; he was sacked three times including a 13-yard loss on a pivotal fourth-down play in the second quarter. Despite a revamped offensive line and new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel supposed to unlock new levels, Herbert had only 15 pass attempts entering the third quarter—as few as in any game in his previous six NFL seasons—suggesting underutilization and execution issues in the new system.
