It really comes down to how much he wants it. I can't really compare him to any one right now. He has all the intangibles except height - but that doesn't seem to be a big issue. I wish he looked more comfortable in a crumbling pocket; he has had too great a tendency to just run it.

I think Stick has a chance to be a solid starting NFL quarterback: somewhere between Brady & Fitzmagic. I like how he's pushing the ball down the field at this early stage. A lot of young qbs just check it down to a rb or tight end all day; a lot of veteran backup qbs do that too.

that would make Taylor 32, and w/a good five to ten years in front of him as an NFL QB.... my guess is that as long as AL is the HC, that the starting QB job is his to lose.RT Taliese Fuaga, DT Jer'Zhan Newton, NT T'Vondre Sweat, LB Cedric Gray, TE Ben Sinnott, RB Daijun Edwards, FS Cole Bishop, QB Joe Milton

Well, I think you'd see Stick staying in the pocket more if we had better pass pro...Tevi, Pip and Lamp didn't impress all that much in the Cards game...

I do agree that Drue and Easton looks very solid for day 3 picks.My 2021 Adopt-A-Bolt List

I don't think Tyrod Taylor is too old to carry the team into the future if Rivers retires in two years. My take is the window will still be open because the team has so much young talent that will create the core of an solid to elite team for the next 5-7 seasons, through the prime years of players like Bosa, James, King, Mike Williams, Henry, Lamp, etc. Let's say Rivers wins a ring in the next two seasons and decides to retire. I think Taylor **could** slide in and keep this team elite enough to be in contention for titles for five more seasons. I don't know what management's thinking is, but they did sign him to a two-year contract. Maybe Stick Man becomes that guy rather than Taylor. I just think that TT is giving himself multiple options at QB to keep the team in Lombardi contention if the PR era ends in the next couple of seasons.
