Not sure Lynn is in a good place to be giving his opinion on QB's. When you actively try and keep Justin Herbert on the bench in favor of Tyrod Taylor, I don't know that too many will hold your opinion in high regard.
I don't believe that Lynn's handling of Herbert was out of order or anything different than what a lot of HC's would do with rookie 1st/2nd QB's (i.e. keep them on the bench as long as possible until such time they demonstrate the same type of proficiency as the vet Q
.
Regardless, I think that there's still a problem with his analysis of Goff...
IMO, veteran QB's who take what the defense gives them and can "make all the throws," shouldn't turn the ball over very much. But Jared Goff has been a downright turnover machine despite the dinking and dunking. How does this happen?
True enough when considering who should be the starter. Going with the vet over the rookie is common but even at the time, much less in retrospect, there seemed to be plenty of evidence that Herbert was clearly the better option. Even after his quick start, Lynn said he would have gone back to Taylor had he not had his lung punctured. Dude clearly had a blind spot or bias or something going on.
