Chargers News: NFL Expert Isn't Sold on The Bolts

We'll see how this prediction plays out!

The Los Angeles Chargers will have to take a firm look at their roster and group heading into the new season and truly assess what their main goals will be in 2023. It is still clear that the Kansas City Chiefs have a firm hold over the AFC West and with Patrick Mahomes leading the charger, it will take a team to fully come together and strip them of their title.

Could that team finally be the Bolts? Many thought that it would in 2022 as they looked amazing on paper and many believed that Justin Herbert could be in the MVP race. However, some big injuries and stagnant play-calling from Joe Lombardi led to their disappointing end in the wild card round.

So LA will be playing with a huge chip on their shoulders in this new season and as experts look at their WR depth along with some sneaky-impressive offseason decisions, they believe that they have some real potential. However, it's going to take more to impress Mike Jones of The Athletic and he is mainly looking for improvement from the coaching staff.

"Desperate to take his prized quarterback and offense to another level, coach Brandon Staley went out and lured Kellen Moore to L.A. The Chargers believe Moore will be the difference-maker and that

Justin Herbert

will take them on a deep playoff run. The

NFL

schedule-makers also are buying in, giving the Chargers six primetime games this season. But expectations should probably be tempered. Moore could very well help Herbert and the offense in some regards. However, the play-caller was rather inconsistent in Dallas (was that his fault, or McCarthy’s?),

so he first must prove himself

. And on top of that, Staley and his players have to prove they can do better in those crucial, high-pressure situations."

This season cannot come soon enough folks!
