Herbert's precipitous fall is fascinating, because on paper it just doesn't make any sense... In short: The offense is easier, Herbert is worse.

Herbert trending to career-high 23 INTs despite easier offense

Herbert's performance has deteriorated significantly despite facing roughly the same pressure rate as the last three years and having pocket time within 0.2 seconds of his career high; 17.9% of his passes grade as bad throws, he's trending towards a career-high 23 interceptions, and the offense has been simplified to 7.5 intended air yards per pass attempt (lowest since rookie season). The source concludes 'the offense is easier, Herbert is worse,' indicating a fundamental decline in quarterback play rather than scheme or protection issues.
