I don’t care about that unwritten rule in this situation.

Tyrod should lose that job because the QB they just invested a top pick on is clearly better right now. Didn’t the same exact thing happen in Cleveland with Baker?

The Chargers will be falling apart with injuries after a few more games. They will be a second place team as long as we have Mahomes.
[Reply]

Yeah.

Not saying it's right or wrong. It's just not "controversial".

Starting QB's very rarely lose their jobs to injuries.
[Reply]

By “controversial” I just mean it’s a bad move that will and should be criticized. Nobody thought it would be a question after yesterday’s game.
[Reply]

Bad move? Yeah, probably.

It won't be heavily criticized because most of the talking heads are former coaches, players, or GM's. They're all part of the "club".

I'm sure some of the pundits will hate it. Especially the younger ones that don't have all the tradition ingrained in them.

I think it's clear that the Chargers had a plan for Herbert similar to the one the Chiefs had for Mahomes, and they apparently want to hold to that plan for now. I admit I'm surprised because even I thought they'd start Herbert after his performance yesterday. But maybe they know something about Herbert's stage of development that didn't show in yesterday's game that they don't want to expose right now or this season.

At any rate, Herbert looked pretty good in his impromptu debut. It'll be interesting to see how long they keep him on the bench.

They really are led by the spirit of Marty.
[Reply]

Yes it did. Grbac had to call 3 critical timeouts for literally being “out of breath.” He was not conditioned enough to be playing.

Losing those timeouts was a big part of why the Chiefs 2 minute drill fell apart on the final drive.

This is entirely about his personal relationship with Tyrod, Lynn coached him in Buffalo.

I read Taylor didn't have a chest injury, he got an injection for a rib injury and it gave him side effects which is how he ended up at the hospital.

Drew Bledsoe says hi.

Lynn looks like the dad on Dinosaurs
[Reply]

Yep, very similar situation. If Tyrod is still having health issues next week and Herbert plays well again, I think that might be the end of it for Tyrod. At some point the owner is not going to allow the coach to keep the high draft pick on the bench if he's playing so well.

Lynn has a "type" for his QBs. Herbert doesn't quite fit the "type". Rivers certainly didn't fit the "type".
