Fantastic read with great insights!! I have no problem with eating crow about Steichen's play calling. These analytics show without question that play-calling was predictable and more importantly consistently ineffective throughout the season, especially on early downs, which I probably should have seen better. I felt by running the ball, the Chargers were taking some of the pressure off of Herbert, but play calling probably put Herbert at a disadvantage in more ways than not ..
The facts shown are very telling.

I think TT’s next off-season depends entirely on how 2021 OL plays. If that becomes the solid professional unit we all expect, he’s freed to work on the rest of the team.
And he better have fixed it, or he should be fired. He’s been saying he would fix the OL since he got here.“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

Chargers QB Justin Herbert positioned to finish with most pass attempts in 2021
Gavino Borquez
July 20, 2021 3:18 pm PT
The Chargers found success last season when they kept the ball in the hands of reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year, quarterback Justin Herbert.
Herbert went on to finish the year with 595 passing attempts, marking the fourth-most in the NFL.
Had he played in the season-opener, Herbert could have possibly had the most in the league over Matt Ryan (624), given the fact that he was averaging 39 passes per game.
This upcoming season, Herbert is in a position to finish as the league leader in that category.
Joe Lombardi’s offenses average the most passing attempts among all offensive coordinators and offensive-minded head coaches with previous NFL experience as a play-caller.
During his time as the Lions OC in 2014, Lombardi ran a very pass-happy offense that averaged 39.35 passing attempts per game.
That season, QB Matthew Stafford finished fifth in the league in attempts (605), according to Fantasy Points’ Graham Barfield. No matter the situation Detroit was in, Lombardi still allowed Stafford to air it out.
When games were within a score, 63% of the plays were passes (2nd-highest rate). When the Lions were ahead, 54% of the plays were passes (7th). When they were trailing, 69% of the time it was a pass (13th).
With the way Los Angeles’ offense is built with the revamped line and his pass-catching weapons coupled with Lombardi’s philosophy of shaping it around his strengths like he did with Saints’ Drew Brees and Stafford, it should allow Herbert to distribute the wealth early and often.
With that being said, don’t be surprised if Herbert is sitting atop of the league in attempted passes and pushing for over 5,000 passing yards in 2021.My 2021 Adopt-A-Bolt List

Hmmm - I expect the OL improvement will lead to a stronger run game. With that in mind, I expect the run/pass plays will end up being similar to last year's percentage.THE YEAR OF THE FLIP!

It was roughly 60% pass / 40% run in 2020 for LAC. I think you're right.

After all the great plays by Herbert last year I've started reading posts that make it seem like Rivers was a bad QB. I myself have been pleasantly surprised at how cool Herbert seems as opposed to how hyper PR was.
I just watched some tapes of the 2019 season and I came away wondering how he ever completed any passes with that OL. The interior of that OL was a sieve!
I love Herbert but let's not forget that #17 was a great leader and QB for the Chargers for 16 seasons.THE YEAR OF THE FLIP!
