What have you seen to suggest that he's clearly a superior option to Taylor?
Tyrod Taylor isn't Matt Cassel. He's not an actively bad quarterback. He's a veteran placeholder who will make your team exactly as good as it is.
The downside is EXACTLY what you saw in the 2nd half of that game Sunday when he was more responsible for the Chargers losing that ballgame than anything Anthony Lynn did. He simply was not as good as you seem to think he was and you're hand-waiving his mistakes while simultaneously saying "What's the worst that could happen" - uh...exactly what DID happen.

It's Smith Mahomes Syndrome.
The transition from Smith to Mahomes was so striking, Chiefs fan think every team should just get it over with and do it now.
We, as fans, have the luxury of looking at next year and the year's beyond and thinking "well, they won't win a Super Bowl this year, might as well punt".
That's just not how the NFL works.
