If you want to think he's good, more power to you. You care way more about another team's QB than I do.

We're having a conversation about analysis of a young QB.
He threw a bonehead pick yeah, it's what rookie QB's do.
But consider the context of the game before yet again blaming a rookie QB:
1. The Chargers turned the ball over 4 times. 1 of which was specifically the QB's fault.
2. The Chargers amassed a number a costly, poorly timed penalties.
3. The Chargers had a number of dropped passes, including a failed 2 point conversion off a Keenan Allen Drop that would've allowed the game to go into OT with a FG instead of needing a TD at the end.
4. Allen also dropped a TD in the endzone.
5. Ekeler dropped a go-ahead, game winning TD on a walk-in hook and ladder to end the game.
6. The Chargers O-line, one of the worst in the league last season, is missing 3 starters and even a back up got hurt already.
6.5. The Chargers surrendered 22 pressures and two sacks to a team that was one of the worst at generating pressure the last two weeks.
7. The Chargers are featuring a FIRST YEAR O.C. It's not like Reid or Peyton are out there drawing plays up for the kid.
8. No OTA's and a very limited TC.
DESPITE ALL OF THAT....
He still drove his team from the 1 yard line with less than 2-minutes to go and NO timeouts down the field and gave his team a chance to win at the end, and they yet again they failed to deliver.
That game, if you watched it, the Chargers did everything they possibly could to lose it, yet ya'll are here acting like Tyrod Taylor woulda won that game for them.
71% completion % on 49 attempts is not "erratic".
At what point do you look at the context here and go, "man, despite all that he has working against him, he's still doing some really nice things on the field"?
I think DJ and Htis are smart men, but man am i getting some stubborn vibes here.
