Overview
Justin Herbert remains without a playoff victory, prompting discussions on accountability as the Los Angeles Chargers face the aftermath of another lost postseason.
Herbert’s Playoff Shortcomings
Herbert’s postseason statistics leave much to be desired.
Over six seasons, he holds impressive passing yards, second only to Peyton Manning, yet zero playoff wins to show for it.
His playoff results reveal troubling patterns, compounded by an offensive line that ranked poorly in key categories:
- Touchdown-to-Interception Ratio: 2 touchdowns, 4 interceptions (tied for league’s worst).
- Sack Rates: 10.9% (25th among playoff quarterbacks).
- Off-Target Rate: 18.9% (near bottom of the league).
This reflects ongoing issues with performance under pressure, raising questions on both Herbert’s consistency and the support from his offensive line, particularly this season where injuries compounded struggles.
Organization Changes
Recent shifts include the firings of Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman and Offensive Line Coach Mike Devlin as part of an off-season reset.
Conclusion
Herbert’s future remains uncertain amid these organizational changes, including the recent hiring of Jim Harbaugh. The team must reconcile their approach to elevate Herbert’s performance if they hope to turn their playoff fortunes around.
