Chargers Wire’s Gavino Borquez lays out the four Chargers players whose ‘Madden 21’ ratings were too low.

QB Tyrod Taylor – Rating: 69

Taylor is likely going to enter the regular season as the team’s starter, and rookie Justin Herbert, who hasn’t played a single snap in the NFL yet, is rated higher than him (70). You can make the argument that it’s been years since Taylor has produced as a starter, but over the three-season stretch when Taylor started for the Bills, his grade was 83.2, per Pro Football Focus. At only 30 years old, he still has plenty of juice left in the tank to lead an offense, especially with a coach’s system that he used to and skill players that’ll help make life easier on him. Rather than being in the same tier as Joe Flacco and Marcus Mariota, Taylor deserves to be sitting with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Sam Darnold.

What it should have been: 74
