Here are my (super long) overall, genuine thoughts on the game

I will always be a Chargers fan before a Herbert fan and I’ll say this, Herbert showed up big time in a lot of big games this season, especially when we routed Denver in the second half of that must win week 16 game.

That being said, he also has had both a mediocre and a pretty awful pair of playoff games thus far in his career and is 0-2 in the postseason. I have seen great QB’s have those kind of performances in the playoffs, but at the end of the day what it all comes down to is if he can make the leap and translate his regular season success into playoff success.

I personally believe he will be able to and I still have faith in him, though I am biased to an extent. It's worth noting that he is probably a top 20 most hated athlete across all sports so having any kind of realistic conversation about him with the average person isn't very productive.

The line & receiving core outside of Ladd was atrocious today but he shares the blame as well. It was all super dysfunctional and terrible. If he can become the type of playoff performer that he is capable of being then that's great. If he shows that he can't, then you move on. That's all it really comes down to, but at the end of the day his haters (the vast majority of NFL fans) aren't very realistic about the type of player he is either.

All you can do is try to give him more support on offense this offseason and see what he is able to do with it next year. I'm going to keep the faith but I won't judge people who don't see all of this the same way that I do.
