McDaniel's charge was to make things easier for Herbert so he wouldn't have to be a superhero every game to give the Chargers a chance.

Herbert forced back into hero-ball mode as offense regresses under McDaniel.

Herbert is being forced into 'hero ball' mode where he has to be a superhero every game to give the Chargers a chance. The source contrasts this with the last two seasons when Herbert did not have to be as much of a hero because the defense was elite. Now, offensive coordinator McDaniel seems to have taken the offense back several steps and aided in putting Herbert back into his hero ball state of mind, compounding the pressure on the quarterback.
