San Diego Chargers – July 26 (rookies) July 31 (veterans)

What They’re Saying: Philip Rivers is about to establish himself as an elite quarterback in the league.

Wish They Said: He’d better, because the running game is pretty much done. LaDainian Tomlinson’s toes look like James Caan’s in Misery.

The Coach: It’s no secret that Norv Turner isn’t a real coach. You can’t ever really be surprised if his team falls to bits and he gets canned. Not saying it’ll happen this year, but it’s inevitable at some point.

Best Case Scenario: Shawne Merriman comes back and rejuvinates the sagging pass rush, Tomlinson gets back in form, the Chargers beat the hell out of the horrifically weak division and cruise to a bye week.

Worst Case Scenario: Rivers punches an usher in the mouth for looking at his girl. Turner puts in Air Force’s offense. Tomlinson embarrasses himself on Celebrity Password. They lose the division to any of the terrible teams in the West.
