1. Keeping AR upright and uninjured for all 17 games and hoping he develops.
2. The DBs. I only expect 4-5 wins anyway, but they might get torched so many times they lose their confidence.
3. The O-line. They need to perform or be replaced. Kelly, Nelson, and Smith need to earn back my love. Tired of those three.
4. The WRs aren't good enough. Maybe Reggie isn't a good coach? I speculated this last year (?) and y'all didn't like hearing it.
5. The GM not being good enough. It's year 7 and we've won nothing. Team is arguably worse than in Luck's rookie year.
6. Irsay meddling again. This is a lesser concern, but you never know with Jim.
That's about it. #1 is , by far, the biggest concern. Running QBs scare me. Every time I see Lamar Jackson run, I expect him to get injured. Maybe Luck traumatized me. I'm not worried about Steichen at all. Pretty much all of my faith in the powers that be is in him. Hopefully all the personnel changes, including the Taylor stuff, is based on what he wants for his vision of his team. At least it won't be boring like last year.
