Bleav in Chargers

Matt” Money Smith breaks down another disappointing performance from Jim Harbaugh's Chargers, an offense that has now gone 27 consecutive drives without scoring a touchdown, and the growing concerns surrounding Herbert's confidence and comfort in Mike McDaniel's system.

Despite another strong defensive effort, the Chargers couldn't capitalize on opportunities. Herbert threw two interceptions, the running game struggled to establish any rhythm, and the offensive play-calling continues to raise serious questions.

He dives into the offensive line issues, Omarion Hampton's limited opportunities, the lack of explosive plays, and whether the coaching staff can make the adjustments needed to salvage the season.

With the Chargers sitting at 0-7, is it time to start thinking about the NFL Draft? Or is the biggest priority simply getting Justin Herbert back to playing like the franchise quarterback we've seen throughout his career?
