Oops! Why Tyrod Taylor didn’t play
This is embarrassing. Wonder if LAC gets a new doctor.

Considering where they drafted him I'd think they already thought they had something.

He cost them the game with a really poor decision on the interception. Rookie mistake, sure. But as you said, “woulda coulda shoulda”... I don’t hate what I saw. I just don’t love it. And if I’m to bet on him being really good or materializing into a bust, I’ll take the latter. |

It was a great job for his first game considering zero preseason games and only a limited number of touches in prep.

Okay, I got curious. Since the AFL/NFL merger, 163 quarterbacks have started 48 or more games (three full modern seasons). The worst ten quarterbacks in terms of fumbles per game started are:
Josh McCown 1.066 Jack Trudeau 1.061 Don Majkowski 1.035 Daunte Culpepper 1.020 Tony Banks 0.936 David Carr 0.899 Kurt Warner* 0.879 Jon Kitna 0.879 Dave Krieg 0.874 (small hands) Carson Wentz 0.862 Nine of those have a few or a fair number of games played as backups, which will inflate their stats a bit. Wentz is the only one not in that situation since he has never entered a game as a backup. If we look at fumbles per game played, here are the worst ten. It's actually mostly the same list, but Wentz rockets up to 2nd-worst. Daunte Culpepper 0.971 Carson Wentz 0.862 Kurt Warner* 0.823 Josh McCown 0.794 Jack Trudeau 0.776 Warren Moon* 0.774 Jon Kitna 0.773 Tony Banks 0.760 David Carr 0.755 Dave Krieg 0.718 |

So who are the most surehanded QBs, you may ask? Here's the list of fewest fumbles per start and per game appearance. Don't shake hands with Chad Henne because he'll crush every bone in your hand.
It's interesting that the list includes a lot of all-timers. I presume that this indicates good pocket awareness. It also may be a hidden advantage of the West Coast Offense if you take fewer strip sacks. Fran Tarkenton is darn impressive on this list given that he was a running quarterback, and this may be the first and only time you'll see Joey Harrington on an NFL top-ten list. Fumbles per start Bert Jones 0.167 Fran Tarkenton* 0.267 Peyton Manning 0.291 Ken Anderson 0.302 Joe Namath* 0.308 Jim McMahon 0.309 Chad Henne 0.321 Billy Kilmer 0.321 Joe Montana* 0.323 Joey Harrington 0.329 Fumbles per game appearance Bert Jones 0.157 Mike Pagel 0.220 Mike Tomczak 0.227 Charley Johnson 0.244 Chad Henne 0.250 Joe Theismann 0.251 Jim McMahon 0.252 Vince Ferragamo 0.253 Norm Snead 0.262 Fran Tarkenton* 0.267 |

No reps (if Chargers PR is being truthful)...looked poised and had some nice NFL throws. If he had just run for the 1st instead of the INT...he likely beats Mahomes in his first start. They definitely had some "home cooking", late...but he still threw for over 300. You look for "flashes" with a rookie...he played way better than I thought he would. I hear he was inconsistent in college...have a great game then suck. We'll see... Last edited by BlackOp; 09-23-2020 at 01:52 PM.. |

And, now we know why coach is going with Tyrod... likely a big PR and financial nightmare if Tyrod lost his job due to the doc doing that. So, they'll let Tryod just lose it outright and we'll see Herbert in a few weeks.

Patrick Mahomes II isn't on the list since he has less than 48 career starts. But let's look at our Chiefs quarterbacks who have started 16 or more games since the merger. (Stats for guys who played before and after 1970 include only their 1970+ stats, by the way.)
If we threw Mahomes onto the big list and waived the fact that he has fewer than 48 starts so far, he would rank 18th of 163. So yes, he's good at hanging onto the ball in addition to being the greatest quarterback in NFL history. Here's the fumbles per start: Joe Montana* 0.320 Alex Smith 0.329 Elvis Grbac 0.340 Patrick Mahomes 0.364 Steve DeBerg 0.385 Trent Green 0.466 Mike Livingston 0.478 Steve Bono 0.484 Len Dawson* 0.518 Bill Kenney 0.558 Matt Cassel 0.638 Dave Krieg 0.762 Rich Gannon 0.789 Todd Blackledge 0.792 Damon Huard 0.810 Steve Fuller 0.935 Here's the fumbles per game: Joe Montana* 0.320 Elvis Grbac 0.327 Alex Smith 0.329 Steve DeBerg 0.351 Patrick Mahomes 0.364 Len Dawson* 0.382 Steve Bono 0.405 Bill Kenney 0.406 Mike Livingston 0.407 Trent Green 0.466 Todd Blackledge 0.475 Rich Gannon 0.556 Steve Fuller 0.558 Dave Krieg 0.571 Matt Cassel 0.625 Damon Huard 0.654 |

Tyrod is being advised to sit out indefinitely. I dont know if that means hes out for sure.
