Fan of the Los Angeles Chargers are less confident now than when the offseason began.
As the offseason began, confidence in the Los Angeles Chargers grew — for good reason. A strong team with a head coach known for delivering success and back-to-back solid drafts. Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter’s defense looked to only improve and all things were shaping up well. But since the end of the offseason and over the course of the preseason, the Chargers have gone through some tribulations; our poll results from earlier in the week, sponsored by FanDuel Sportsbook, saw a drop in fan confidence.
It unfortunately makes sense that confidence has faltered. The loss of arguably the best all-around football player on the team, left tackle Rashawn Slater, suffered a season-ending ruptured patellar tendon. And though the team landed wide receiver Keenan Allen to replace Mike Williams after his sudden retirement, the loss of Slater is significant.
But not all are among the plurality of lesser confidence. Nearly one-third of Chargers fans have the same confidence as before. And nearly one-fourth of fans listened to training camp reports, watched the preseason and came away more confident than before.
Now, it’s up to the Chargers to deliver on expectations. It begins on Friday, September 5 at 5 p.m. Bolt time in Brazil.
