Yahoo Sports NFL on Justin Herbert
From the article
there's not much the QB can do when tight end David Njoku bobbles a catch on an ever so slightly underthrown ball and turns it into an interception... Every year, a key member of his line or receiving corps seems to go down with a season-ending injury
STACKED’s take
Recurring injuries to teammates and coaching questions compound Herbert's consistency issues.
The source identifies recurring issues with Herbert's supporting cast and coaching: tight end David Njoku bobbled a catch on an underthrown ball turning it into an interception; receivers dropped passes; key members of the offensive line and receiving corps suffer season-ending injuries annually, leaving him exposed. Jim Harbaugh has yet to win a playoff game with the team, and new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, despite a reputation as a schematic whiz, has overseen a sputtering Chargers offense. The source concludes that while Herbert must shoulder blame, 'the very best quarterbacks find a way to win even when the pocket collapses,' implying Herbert has not met that standard.
