For the first time in over a decade, the Chargers will get some movement from the quarterback position. While Philip Rivers was superior at slinging the rock, he wasn’t one to beat defenses with his legs.
Now with Los Angeles having mobile signal-callers on the roster, the offense will become multi-dimensional with more of a run-heavy approach.
Luckily, the Bolts have one of the best rushing quarterbacks in the NFL to get the job done.
According to Pro Football Focus, Tyrod Taylor forced the third-most missed tackles by any quarterback since 2011 (72). Cam Newton leads the way with 110, while Russell Wilson is right behind him with 90.
Taylor has proven he can run the ball with two seasons under his belt with at least 568 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns when he was the starter for the Bills.
While Taylor has the ability to destroy defenses with his legs, there are still some areas that he needs to improve in as a passer.
Even though he doesn’t throw a lot of interceptions, Taylor struggles with accuracy and seeing the middle of the field well, which is where key players like tight end Hunter Henry and wide receiver Keenan Allen shine.
