Cam Newton criticizes Justin Herbert as Chargers remain winless at 0-4

Cam Newton has voiced strong criticism of Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, suggesting a complete overhaul is necessary as the team struggles to a 0-4 start this season. Newton contends that Herbert's lackluster performance, which includes four touchdowns against six interceptions, is largely responsible for the Chargers' defeats, including recent losses to the Arizona Cardinals, Las Vegas Raiders, and Seattle Seahawks. Despite the team's offensive coordinator, Mike McDaniel, maintaining his position, the pressure is mounting on Herbert, who ranks last in the PFN Quarterback Impact Metric. Newton believes that benching Herbert might provide the reset needed for him to regain form. Coach Jim Harbaugh, however, has pledged his support for Herbert amid the team's woes.
