From the episode

This is because of a decision on the field that Justin Herbert made. It all just kind of seems to be going awry in a way that makes it hard to really kind of distill it down

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Herbert's decision-making contributes to Chargers' systemic offensive dysfunction.

Justin Herbert's performance in Los Angeles has been disappointing; the source suggests the Chargers' offensive struggles are evenly attributable to Herbert's on-field decision-making, Mike McDaniel's play-calling, and Jim Harbaugh's overall direction, indicating systemic issues rather than a single fixable problem.
