Defense looks good. Quinn has earned my trust. But this offense? Man, there are just too many question marks to feel good heading into this season:

1. Questionable OL depth, and now Zack Martin drama

2. Questionable RB depth behind Pollard who has questions about carrying a full time load and recovering from an injury

3. Gallup has questions about his recovery from last year

4. Questionable WR depth behind Lamb and Cooks

5. No proven TE1 and a gimpy 2nd round TE with plenty of questions

6. New offensive scheme and play-caller who ended with huge question marks his last couple years in that role

7. Nothing but questions at kicker

8. Big questions around Dak bouncing back from last year, and being able to deliver in big moments

Every year there are a few questions— but damn, there are too many for me to feel anything but uneasy as we roll towards Sept
Revisiting this post after PS1

1. Still holds true. The lack of depth means starters cannot miss time. In a 17-game season that's rough

2. Feel a little better. Rico & Deuce with the early shot at #2/#3

3-4. Tolbert did OK, but depth behind Lamb-Cooks still mostly ?

5. Fergie looks good w/ the ball; can the TEs block?

6. Still ?. Sidenote: Chargers fans happy w/ KM's scheme through 1st half

7. 0 answers. Kicker is the weakest link

8. Goes back to #1. This offense lives & dies by the OL

Ultimately, Preseason Game 1 did little to answer these very good questions

That game was impossible to get a read on the offense. Starters barely played. Playbook was tiny. Zero insight based on that. My biggest takeaway was that Ferguson is a way better athlete than projected coming into the league.

Yah I posted that several days before the game last nite. Those concerns listed were not based on anything from the game

Same thing every season for 30 years. Every season, the faithful have optimism and next years at this time, the same questions will be asked again and and again. Why? The same person is driving the ship and the ego will not allow for a fresh different approach. Has worked for 30 years, so the definition of insanity lives
