Is Justin Herbert Actually Getting Worse or is it the System?

The Chargers' 0-6 start is the worst this team has suffered in more than a quarter of a century. It's been such a long time, in fact, that the last time things were this bad, Jim Harbaugh was actually one of the quarterbacks on the team's roster. Some of this could be about the way that McDaniel approached Herbert this past offseason. He didn't just bring a new playbook, he changed the way Herbert stands. For six NFL seasons, Herbert, who throws right-handed, lined up in the shotgun with his right foot forward. McDaniel had him switch to his left foot so he could get the ball out faster on the quick short throws this offense is built on and let his receivers run after the catch. Herbert spent parts of the spring not throwing a football at all. He was drilling the new footwork with a big green ball. McDaniel said at the time he was trying to find ways to improve in the margins, including speeding up Herbert's release time. Well, six games in, the margins are going the wrong way. So is there a way for things to get better from here for L.A.? This team does have a decent defense to build on. Against Buffalo, that unit forced five turnovers. And after a bye week where Harbaugh said the team looked at everything, I'm hoping to see some offensive scheme changes too.
