No sense in changing that plan over one game. If his plan was to start day 1 and he came out and had a horrible game, you wouldn't say bench him and scrap that plan. You shouldn't change the plan in this case either

Sitting rookie QBs is no longer really a thing. If you're talking about a work in progress like mahomes and have a solid veteran like Alex Smith fine. The chargers have none of those things. It's possible they don't think herbert is at all ready but his mechanics and confidence looked beyond fine.
