Predicting which NFL teams will exceed and which will fail to meet

Teams that will exceed expectations

Chargers
Last year’s record: 5-12
Offseason losses: RB Austin Ekeler, LB Kenneth Murray, WR Keenan Allen, WR Mike Williams

In what world can you lose Ekeler, Allen and Williams and improve?

Better coach is one area.

Glad you asked.

Ekeler: Old and I believe done.

Allen: Old but I think there is a little left in the tank. I think he will actually be a decent role player for the Bears this year, but I have lowered expectations.

Williams: I won’t say he is injury prone. He just seems to have regular injuries. Very talented when healthy. Dare I say Swift at the WR position?

The improvement will be in the development of the next generation of players. Ones that see the field because these guys are gone. W/L… I expect them to be consistent.
