The Facts: Although it won't be Philip Rivers, the Chargers will start a quarterback in Week 1. Who that quarterback will be remains a question without an answer. Perhaps the Chargers don’t yet know. But could it be possible that the Chargers would let Taylor and Easton Stick battle it out for the starting job? “I like our internal options,” GM Tom Telesco said Tuesday.

Diehards Line: Every big-name free agent quarterback will be linked to the Chargers at some point this offseason. Liking their internal options clearly doesn't rule out the Chargers considering their options among the free agent quarterbacks and the draft prospects. In fact, it would rank as a surprise if the Chargers didn’t either sign a free agent quarterback or draft one. But it's not like they don't have other paths. We'll continue to follow along in coming weeks.
