From the episode

I am worried about Justin Herbert here. Because when you look at his stats three games into the season... lowest completion percentage over expected of his career, negative 3.8%.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Herbert is struggling with career-worst efficiency and a lack of urgency

The source is worried about Justin Herbert's performance, citing career-worst metrics through three games: a -3.8% completion percentage over expected, a 59.1% completion rate, and a negative EPA per dropback. The source notes a lack of urgency and nonchalant play style, particularly on deep throws, contrasting his current effort unfavorably with Josh Allen's intensity.
