I don't think it's unreasonable. Despite their oustanding pass offense, they are not nearly as good at running, run defense, or pass defense as they once were.

we laugh at these rankings. the chargers have a very young roster and as usual being on the west coast dont get nearly as much scouting as teams close to home. espn is pretty much clueless when it comes to the chargers like they are every year...their scouts probably couldnt even name half the roster

Well it appears their power rankings are not based on merit, but on the prognosis of the writer. Makes them about as useful as a motivational speech given by Jamarcus Russell.

Ed Reed’s going to start the season on the PUP list, where Mt. Cody and Walt Harris already reside. Joe Flacco’s not cool with Marc Bulger looking over his shoulder.
