14. Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers
Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers look horrible.
Horrible!
There really isn't a single thing for this team to hang their hats on thus far, as they're 0-2 to begin the season, have a gauntlet of games coming up, and have oddly lost by the same exact score at home in Weeks 1 and 2.
The Chargers played the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders to begin the season, two teams that were largely looked at as being among the worst in football. This mini-stretch was a perfect time for the Bolts to get to 2-0 and to give their record some cushion before this gauntlet begins.
Herbert isn't necessarily being done any favors, but he's also not played well itself, and both things can be true here. It seems like there is a section of the NFL world that always tries to excuse the bad play we see from Herbert given how good they believe he is.
Outside of the efficient regular season statistics, which have not been there this year, Herbert just doesn't have much else to offer. What might end up being the truth is that he's a good-not-great player who also happens to be in a pretty bad situation in 2026.
The Chargers have major personnel concerns, but if Herbert was as good as some make him out to be, shouldn't he be playing better...?
13. Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers
It's time to stop looking at Aaron Rodgers as anything more that a below-average QB. He's simply not a good player anymore. Personnel-wise, though, the Pittsburgh Steelers don't have the necessary separators at wide receiver to be a threatening offense, and the unit as a whole doesn't have as much talent as it needs to be effective.
Rodgers also turns 43 years old this season, so he's honestly beyond damaged goods. He can't move like he used to and doesn't have the arm like we saw in his prime days, but that should be expected with someone already approaching their mid-40s.
Rodgers isn't completing 60 percent of his passes and has just 408 yards through two weeks. His yards per attempt is just 5.2, which is the lowest among AFC starting QBs well. He's also already taken six games, which would average out to be 51 over a full 17-game season.
This is a player and team that opponents may look at as being able to beat up on this year.
