Chargers Are Setting Up Justin Herbert to FAIL – Fans Furious Over Shocking Roster Moves!
Their star quarterback, Justin Herbert, has proven time and time again that he’s one of the NFL’s most talented young guns. Rocket arm, quick decision-making, calm under pressure — Herbert has it all. But despite his incredible skill set, it seems like the Chargers’ front office is doing everything possible to make his job harder.
This offseason, the Chargers made a string of moves that have fans and analysts alike scratching their heads… or just straight-up fuming.
The Shocking Departures
Let’s start with the jaw-dropper: Keenan Allen, Herbert’s most dependable wide receiver, was traded to the Chicago Bears. That’s right — gone. Just like that, Herbert loses a veteran playmaker who helped define his early career.
And that’s not all. Star running back Austin Ekeler, another cornerstone of the offense, walked away in free agency. Ekeler was a dual-threat beast — a running back who could catch like a receiver and break open games with a single play. Now? He’s gone too.
Two major weapons… gone in one offseason.
“Never an Option” — But Why Remove the Help?
To add more spice to the drama, multiple reports confirmed that both the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings made serious inquiries about trading for Justin Herbert. But Chargers GM Joe Hortiz shut it down immediately, claiming Herbert was “never an option.”
That’s a bold stance — and one that seems to show loyalty to the QB. But it raises the big question:
If you believe in Herbert, why are you tearing down the support around him?
Draft Strategy: A Glimmer of Hope?
To be fair, the Chargers used the No. 5 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft to grab Joe Alt, an elite offensive tackle. Protecting Herbert is crucial, especially with the holes forming elsewhere. But many fans see this as a “too little, too late” move — a good step, but one that doesn’t replace the experience and chemistry lost with Allen and Ekeler.
Fans React: “They’re Wasting His Prime!”
Social media hasn’t been kind. Fans are calling the Chargers front office clueless. Memes are flying. Hashtags like #FreeHerbert and #SaveJustin are gaining traction.
Some are even comparing the situation to what happened with quarterbacks like Andrew Luck — immense talent, wasted by poor management.
So, What’s Really Going On?
Is this a rebuild? A reset? A gamble on new talent? Or just poor planning?
Whatever the strategy, one thing is painfully clear: The pressure is on. If this season goes south, Justin Herbert won't be the one to blame — it’ll be the front office that left him hanging.
And if that happens, the Chargers could lose more than just games — they could lose the trust of their fanb
ase… and possibly their franchise QB.
