This is the norm for a 4th string QB. Off by himself or working with a few coaches to help with their drills they are going to run.
But Casey Bramlet QB #8, 6-4, 220, is a good size QB and he is running the huddle with the Chargers.

The thing that is different for Casey over other 4th string QB's on the Chargers in camp, is the Chargers are letting him actually run the offense. In the past camps the Chargers only let the first, second, and third string QB's run the offense. The 4th string QB always had to just go off and work in other special drills like handing off to all the running backs in drills. They almost never let a 4th string QB run the offense in nine on nine's or eleven on elevens. They just don't, but here is Casey Bramlet running the offense and taking turns with the other three QB's in front of him. Could Casey have a chance at making this team? Probably not, because with Rivers, Volek, and Whitehurst there just isn't room on the final roster.
From Chargers.com comes some interesting information on Bramlet:
The Chargers added depth at the quarterback position when they claimed Casey Bramlet off waivers from the Miami Dolphins.
Bramlet, 27, becomes the fourth quarterback on the roster, joining Philip Rivers, Billy Volek and Charlie Whitehurst.
Bramlet, 6-4, 230, holds multiple passing records at the University of Wyoming, where he teamed with Chargers wide receiver Malcom Floyd. The Wheatland, Wyoming native originally entered the NFL as a seventh-round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2004 NFL Draft. He backed up Jon Kitna and Carson Palmer during his rookie season and then spent the spring of 2005 with the Hamburg Sea Devils of NFL Europe.
