Chargers: Herbert will remain starter, Tyrod to bench


Recommended Posts

There was no way Lynn could've gone back to Taylor after how Herbert has played. I'd rather deal with Herbert throwing a pick here and there but still pushing it down the field than Taylor who sees the big throw but pulls it down and dumps it off. Sucks for Tyrod, eff that doctor, man. I wonder if he'll be pursuing some sort of compensation or something for that.

I'm surprised Herbert has played so well. He put ip big numbers at Oregon but moslty against patsies. Never delivered a signature win until his senior year and the RoseBowl. Even then he did more damage running than throwing. 

By all accounts a super nice kid. 

Wish him well. 

Even if he regresses Lynn is making the right choice sticking with him now that he had played well.

They only drafted a rookie QB in the top 10, who would have thought Taylor was never really entrenched starter.

If I'm the new Jets head coach, first thing I do is trade for Tyrod. Next thing I do is draft a QB and announce Tyrod as the starter. Pretty much guaranteed Tyrod will walk into a revolving door or drop a piano on his foot the day before the opening game and my rookie will come in and play well.

I like Tyrod and feel bad for him.  Wally Pipped again.  Really bad luck for Tyrod, but the fact is that these young guys who are getting the chance are playing better than he is capable of, so it's only a matter of time in these situations.  I could see Tyrod going to yet another team with a newly drafted QB and being named the starter for a few weeks and losing the job again (let's hope it won't be injury-related next time).  It's his "pattern," just like Fitz has his own "pattern."  Rinse and repeat.

I get what you're saying in general but personally I do think it is actually bad luck to lose your job because the team doctor punctured your lung.
