Of course he thinks Taylor gives him the best chance. It's part of the reason Rivers is gone and why he wanted to bench Rivers last season.
That doesn't make him right.
It's loyal to a fault. You and i both know that that kind of shit runs rampant in the league.
He was NEVER, EVER going to bench Taylor after an injury, the man he appointed to lead this team, the man who he wanted leading this team since last season. And judging by Hard Knocks, the captain and leader of that offense.
He'll bench his ass for poor performance though, especially now after seeing what the rookie can do, his hand will practically be forced.
Ya'll who are remembering Taylor as some competent game manager are thinking back to his Buffalo days....but dudes that was 4-6 years ago.
Lately he's been a freakin' 50% career passer.
I'm telling you right now man, that Chargers offense in week 1 vs week 2 looked like an entirely different animal. And that's with the rookie running a Tyrod game plan.
