What Scares You Most?

[Classic]

I agree with O.P that Joe has me the most worried. The reason being he just might be trying to turn Herbert into the dink and dunk master that Drew became once his arm left him. He also did awful with Stafford who is known for his long passes and strong arm.

All that said though this team has the potential to win a SB like none other in Chargers history imo. I know Staley is a rookie HC but I think he can have Jim Harbaugh level of success early on. This defense is also going to be sneaky good this season.

Anything short of a playoff victory is a massive disappointment*

It doesn't scare me, but I'm waiting to see if the Brandon Staley experiment is going to actually translate into wins and a winning culture. He talks the talk now let's see him walk the walk. A few alarm bells are ringing after the sloppiness and poor execution of the final two preseason games and some of the roster decisions (T. Johnson). I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt though.

That's exactly how I feel. The sloppy play and frequent penalties of the preseason have me skeptical. I'm in a wait-and-see mode on BS. But, I do think the team is overall more talented so it's up BS to pull it off.

What scares me the most is a promising young franchise QB destined to never make it to a SB. What’s scarier than that?

Sage advice from Will Rogers;
After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring.
He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.
The moral : When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

Honestly, I think what scares me the most are my own lofty expectations. Or maybe it's need. I need these guys (Chargers players) - who I have never met - to succeed in their game they get paid for. Somehow that makes me happy-er when they succeed. Yeah. Weird but true. But if they lose. Holy crap. Why would I do this to myself? Putting my happiness in some strangers hands seems not so smart to me! No! But I do it anyhow. Every day during and leading up to football season. Maybe I need a 12-Step group.

My woman asks me this question far too often during a football season.

As a child movies definitely led me to believe I would be encountering quicksand far more often than I have as an adult.

Speaking of movies that is a quote from one of my favorite football movies when the QB is asked what he’s afraid of.

As Indy once said "Snakes, I hate snakes". Or something like that.

I am most afraid of second half collapses, lack of clutch play. So many games snatched from the jaws of victory.

Mine is manic depressive, autistic, bipolar, and borderline psychotic. So she completely understands.

I like this thread. Better than looking at “welcome to…” 10 month old threads. Ron is gonna kick our ass. Shoulda been our coach.

A lot of time to gel for the OL

Injuries

every season we have a key player injured thus we never get to see Chargers at their full potential.
