A new era at the quarterback position begins this upcoming season as Tyrod Taylor and Justin Herbert take over.
One of the biggest questions entering training camp is who will start under center.
While the coaching staff has stated that there will be a competition between Taylor and the first-round pick this summer, it’s more than likely that the 30-year old will start, allowing Herbert to get acclimated to the offense and his teammates.
“We’re going into this thing: Day 1, Tyrod Taylor’s going to be starting it off,” coach Anthony Lynn told Albert Breer of the MMQB. “He’s earned that right. His teammates respect the hell out of him, he’s a leader on this football team. Our young quarterback’s gonna learn a lot from Tyrod Taylor.
With the offense in Taylor’s hands, the anticipation to see what he could do is at an all-time high. While there are concerns of him as a passer, Taylor is familiar with the system, protects the ball well, has the mobility to outpace defenders and most importantly, a strong supporting cast of skill players.
Taylor is capable of leading the Chargers to wins this upcoming season. His success will allow Herbert to continue to develop. The only way we see the former Oregon product take over is if Taylor flops or gets hurt.
With that being said, do you think Taylor has what it takes to flourish this season? To get an idea, we want to know how many games you think he will remain as the team’s starter in 2020.
