Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has appeared uncomfortable in his first three games of the NFL season, with multiple outlets pointing to comments from former Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. Wilson attributes Herbert’s early performance issues to difficulties acclimating to a new offensive scheme.
Both sources describe the explanation as connected to the Chargers’ offensive approach under offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. The reporting frames Herbert’s lack of comfort as part of the learning curve that can come with implementing a new system, including timing, reads, and play execution within the offense. The outlets do not dispute that Herbert has struggled early, but they focus on the cause through Wilson’s perspective rather than providing independent, comparative performance analysis.
Overall, the coverage centers on Wilson’s assessment of the transition and presents it as a “key factor” behind Herbert’s uneven play through the opening weeks of the season.
