Chargers News: Shocking Justin Herbert Decision Stuns Fans

It's going to be a new-look LA next season in more ways than one.

During your Los Angeles Chargers' underwhelming season finale last weekend, a 13-12 loss against the postseason-bound Kansas City Chiefs, injured LA starting quarterback Justin Herbert was spotted on the sidelines looking quite different, and not just because he wasn't wearing his powder blue game threads.

Instead, the 6'6" signal caller was caught with some freshly shorn locks, a stunning change from his standard rock star-length hair.

Fittingly, Los Angeles fans took to the comments below this post to air their grievances with the new look.

all his aura is gone

Chri$ isn't necessarily wrong.

Chargers got him so stressed out he becoming a middle aged man.

This is not a wholly unfair appraisal. LA has made the postseason just once with Herbert in tow, last year, and fell to an unacceptable 5-12 finish this year, despite fielding playoff expectations heading into the season.

Only one remaining player, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett Jr., has the rock locks now.

why he cut his locks?

We don't know, kev. We simply don't know.

He looks kinda silly without the locks

This not-Patrick Mahomes is correct. The world is a drearier place without long-haired Herbert.

We feel you, Zelda.

It is a pretty crushing moment, Truther, but we'll have to move on with our lives and rebuild.

This is a devastating if wholly accurate take. Herbert's new look seems like a hack job, done perhaps by a lackey or even Herbert himself without a mirror.
