From the episode

He did not forget how to be a good quarterback who can make every throw. You can watch the second half of their loss not lose his ability to throw some absolute piss missiles when he needs to. It's just clearly there's some sort of breakdown in philosophy and execution and approach on a week-to-week basis.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Herbert's arm talent intact but Chargers' execution breakdown limits his upside.

Herbert has not forgotten how to be a good quarterback who can make every throw—he can still throw absolute piss missiles when needed—but the Chargers offense is experiencing a breakdown in philosophy and execution on a week-to-week basis that is limiting his performance; the source attributes this to coaching and organizational issues rather than quarterback decline.
