Head coach Anthony Lynn says he will be starting Taylor in Week 1 after parting ways with long time quarterback Philip Rivers to free agency.

"We're going into this thing: Day 1, Tyrod Taylor's going to be starting it off," Lynn told Albert Breer of the MMQB. "He's earned that right. His teammates respect the hell out of him, he's a leader on this football team. Our young quarterback's gonna learn a lot from Tyrod Taylor. Tyrod Taylor's one of the most respected players on our team, and he doesn't say a whole lot either.

"[But] it's a competition, bro. There's a competition at every position, not just this one. I can't just say Tyrod's gonna be the starting quarterback for the whole year if this young man goes in there and wins the job."

The Chargers are favored to win OVER 7.5 regular season games in 2020.
