People who blame Justin Herbert for a catastrophic team failure need to watch that opening drive of the 3rd Q. Never seen a team so bad at doing everything before. My goodness.

“He just blows by the left guard no chance for Herbert.” - Tom Brady

I not only agree with this completely, but I have said the same thing a few times on here. His greatest strength as a person may also be one of the few things I’d criticize about him as a franchise QB. He’s almost too accommodating. He doesn’t seem wired to make demands of the organization or force the issue when he needs more around him. He carries himself with humility, absorbs criticism, and rarely makes anything about himself. Ironically, that is also a huge part of why people love Herbert. His teammates and coaches aren’t dealing with an ego, and fans aren’t constantly hearing him campaign for himself. But there is a difference between being a great teammate and being so agreeable that you never make the organization uncomfortable. At some point, I’d actually like to see Herbert put his foot down and say, in his own way, we need more.
