Chargers' Justin Herbert could win starting quarterback job
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn was non-committal when asked whether Tyrod Taylor (lung) would be the team's starting quarterback once he is healthy again.
What It Means:
Lynn had previously stated that Taylor would resume his role as the team's starter once he was healthy, but when asked about that statement after the team's Week 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Lynn responded with, "I can't answer that question right now." 2020 NFL Draft first-round pick Justin Herbert has impressed in his 3 starts and is certainly making that decision difficult for Lynn.
Through 3 starts, Herbert has averaged 8.37 adjusted yards per attempt, a top 12 mark across the league. Herbert threw two incredible deep passes for touchdowns against the Bucs Sunday and could very well have played himself into a starting job.
