Los Angeles Chargers are one of the few NFL teams that don’t have a quarterback position sorted out ahead of the start of the 2020 NFL season. Chargers recently said goodbye to franchise legend Phillip Rivers, and all signs point that they will take a signal-caller in the upcoming draft. If you ask Tyrod Taylor, however, Chargers shouldn’t search past their roster.

Taylor joined the Chargers last offseason to be Rivers’ backup and might be given a chance in case that the team fails to find a better solution. If this happens, the 30-year-old says that the franchise will be set for big things.

“We have a lot of talent on our team,” said Taylor in a recent chat with Orange County Register. “If I am the guy that would be calling the shots, I know for sure that we’ll go out and turn a lot of heads.”

Taylor, who threw just four passes last season, also added that he isn’t afraid to face competition for starting spot in case that Chargers decided to add a proven veteran or a highly-regarded prospect.

“It’s motivating just for the highs and lows of my career,” he explained. “To be drafted in the sixth round, walking into my 10th year, there’s definitely a lot of motivating factors in there being from my time when I was in Buffalo and when I played in Cleveland.”

Tyrod Taylor played with four teams in the past nine years of his NFL career, but was only a full-time starter with Buffalo Bills between 2015 and 2017. During that period, Taylor posted 22-20 record while leading the Bills to a playoff appearance in 2017. He also got a shot to start with Cleveland Brown in 2018, but was benched after three games for Baker Mayfield.

Talyor has 61.6 career completion percentage, throwing for 9,562 yards, and 54 touchdowns. He also added 1,843 yards rushing and 16 rushing touchdowns.

Cleveland Browns made Tyrod Taylor their starting quarterback over 2018’s No.1 overall pick Baker Mayfield at the beginning of the season and were firm on keeping it that way until the end of the season. But Taylor suffered a concussion in Week 3 game against the NY Jets with Mayfield stepping in and leading the Browns to a win.

Tyrod Taylor recovered from the concussion rather quickly, but the never got his starting job back. It wasn’t the smooth transition for the 29-year-old, and he recently told reporters that it’s been “frustrating” for him to go from a starter to a backup.

“It is frustrating, but it is a part of the game at the same time,” – Taylor told reporters on Wednesday. “Eight years in, you understand some things happen that you can’t control. Not wanting to complain, just have to continue to keep being myself day in and day out, continue to be a leader and like I said, help the team in any way. This is a different role, but I am here to offer as much knowledge, as well as just trying to share my viewpoint of things, that can help the defense or offense.“

But despite his frustration, Taylor isn’t thinking about asking for a trade.

“It really has not been a part of my mindset,” – he added. “Just more so have been focusing on getting better each and every day. Those things happen in the league. That really has not been a part of my mindset.“

Tyrod Taylor joined the Cleveland Browns in March 2018 from Buffalo Bills, where he was the starting quarterback for three years and earned a Pro Bowl appearance during that time. In two and a half games with the Browns, Taylor completed 48.8 percent of his passes for 462 yards and two touchdowns.

Less than a week since rookie Baker Mayfield led the Browns to their first NFL win since 2016, coach Hue Jackson is making him the team’s starting quarterback.

Mayfield replaced Tyrod Taylor last Thursday and displayed an impeccable performance that helped Cleveland end a winless run that had lasted for 635 days.

“He’s the starting quarterback of this football team,” coach Jackson said of Mayfield. “We know it’s a long season, all kind of things can happen. Baker Mayfield is the starting quarterback of this team.”

The rookie responded to the news by expressing his joy at getting the opportunity by earning it the hard way.

“You want to have to work for it. You’ve got to earn it,” Mayfield said. “Success is so much more fun when you have to work for it.”

Explaining why he is replacing Taylor with Mayfield, Jackson said the rookie had “checked off every box for me.”

“There was nothing that I saw that he wasn’t ready to hand. He checked off every box, Jackson said.” “This is sooner than when I thought it would happen because I thought we would play much better earlier on offense and we didn’t.”

In last week’s win, Mayfield completed 17 of 23 passes, helping a team trailing by 14 points to win the game 21-17. Taylor remains injured with a concussion problem. But even if cleared, he will be a backup quarterback for the rest of the season.

It looks like the Cleveland Browns are holding tightly to their draft picks, while teams like Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles were busy trading. On Friday, however, all of that changed. The Browns managed to finalize two big trades, acquiring wide receiver Jarvis Landry from Miami Dolphins and quarterback Tyrod Taylor from Buffalo Bills. The Dolphins got 2018 fourth-round and a 2019 seventh-round draft pick in exchange for Landry, while Bills settled for a third-round pick, No. 65 overall pick in 2018 NFL Draft.

This wasn’t the end of trading for the Browns, who also shipped away quarterback DeShone Kizer to Green Bay Packers in exchange for cornerback Damarious Randall, with the teams also swapping picks in the fourth and fifth rounds of the upcoming draft.

Jarvis Landry represents a great coup for Cleveland Browns, who were in a need of a veteran wide receiver. He led the league in receptions last season with 112, has 987 receiving yards to go alongside 9 touchdowns. Landry was franchise tagged by the Dolphins on February 20, which means he is currently under a one-year, $15.982 million contract. It is expected, however, that the Browns will negotiate a long-term deal with Landry, and possibly make him one of the league’s highest-paid receivers.

Tyrod Taylor gives Browns a veteran quarterback, something that team lacked in the last season. Taylor played 15 games for the Bills in 2017, completing 62.6 of his passes (263 out of 420) for 2,799 yards, and managed 14 touchdowns alongside 4 interceptions.
Despite getting Taylor, Cleveland Browns are expected also to draft one of the talented quarterbacks in this year’s draft, possibly USC’s Sam Darnold or Wyoming’s Josh Allen.

Finally, with Damarious Randall, the Browns will get a promising young cornerback, but who was greatly inconsistent during his three years in the league.
