Tyrod Taylor signed

Best backup since Tobin Rote.

Because he's going to pick up Rivers' replacement off the scrap heap of discarded backups and PS members?

And I'm sure Tom Telesco won't have a say in that draft pick? I mean, that is his job and all.

Pretty sure John Spanos is still heavily involved in drafting players and will have veto power on picking a Rivers replacement.

You mean better than Ed "I can throw it through a brick wall but just don't expect it within 3 feet of the receiver" Luther???

Oh, I know Ed Luther, La Costa.
I live down the street from San Jose State.
Gawd.
LOL.

During his tenure, in pre season, we used to cheer if the receiver got at least one hand on the ball. He had a wild cannon, that's for sure.

Sure, whatever

But the point was it isn't all Lynn and others, that outrank him in that department no less, have a voice.

And also that it's asinine to compare the quality of QBs they brought in to hold a clipboard and maybe come in if Rivers gets hurt to the quality of QB they'll choose once it comes time to find an actual long term starter.

I know he wasn't no brees but Billy Volek did a pretty good job backing up Rivers.

Yeah. Only QB to take the Chargers to the AFCCG since Humphries.

Startling but true.
