From the episode

he's got way too much dip on his chip compared to camp ward over 10 yards past the line of scrimmage his adjusted completion percentage is 50 which is not great his yards per attempt is 10.1 which is good in a vacuum but you have to look at the rest of the stats along with it...he has one td and four picks when he's targeting 10 plus yards down the field his passer rating is 44.1
Mentioned at 42:17 – 45:00

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Herbert's recklessness on deep balls (1 TD, 4 INTs, 44.1 rating) signals behavioral decline, not scheme mismatch.

Herbert's 2024 performance has deteriorated significantly despite improved offensive line support compared to 2023; he's playing worse under Mike McDaniel despite the scheme change, suggesting the issue is not situational but behavioral. Drake May notes Herbert has become reckless rather than aggressively confident: on 10+ yard attempts, he has 1 TD and 4 INTs with a 44.1 passer rating and 50% adjusted completion percentage, indicating he's attempting impossible windows even for his arm talent. This represents a stark departure from his 2023 efficiency and ball security despite facing similar or less pressure.
