Due to the fact that they think hes the long-term response as a franchise quarterback follower to Philip Rivers, the Chargers drafted Herbert in the very first round. Now its formally Herberts task, likely for many years to come.
Justin Herbert is the Chargers starting quarterback moving forward.
Chargers coach Anthony Lynn announced today that Herbert will remain the starter even if Tyrod Taylor is active and healthy for Monday nights video game at New Orleans. If hes cleared to play after suffering a punctured lung from a painkilling injection administered by a team medical professional, Taylor will be the No. 2 quarterback.
Lynn was unwilling to make the move, but Herbert played well in relief of Taylor, even in his very first start, in which he learnt he was taking the field moments before kickoff.
