“This Is Why Justin Herbert’s Career Is Destroyed”: NFL Insider Rips Jim Harbaugh for Ruining Chargers QB After Loss to Rams

NFL insider John Frascella has harshly criticized Jim Harbaugh for allegedly "ruining" Justin Herbert's career with the Los Angeles Chargers following a disastrous loss to the Rams. Reflecting on the team's seventh straight defeat, their seventh game of the season, Frascella took to social media to blast Harbaugh for making a grandiose prediction about Herbert becoming one of the greatest quarterbacks in league history just months prior.

"Jim Harbaugh RUINED Justin Herbert's football career," Frascella wrote. "NO ONE should be saying ridiculous stuff like this to the media. Justin Herbert is gonna be the greatest quarterback of all time, a guy who literally cannot win ONE Playoff game??? This is why Herbert's career is destroyed."

Herbert's struggles on Sunday were evident as he completed just 24 of 32 passes for 257 yards and two interceptions without a single touchdown. This marked the second straight game without a touchdown for Herbert, following the team's 22-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on October 18. Throughout the season, Herbert has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns, currently sitting at 8 interceptions and 1 touchdown. Before the game in question, Herbert had recorded 1,141 passing yards, 5 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions.

In a separate incident, former NFL linebacker-turned-analyst Emmanuel Acho took to social media to express his disappointment in Herbert's performance during the game. Acho described Herbert's two interceptions and two missed tackles as "criminal" and questioned why he should not be subject to investigation. The Chargers are set to face the Houston Texans on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET.
