Are Jags gonna cut Blackmon?

I am normally the last one to jump on these ideas of players that get canned from one team but damn it Blackmon with Cam and KB would really turn our receiving corps into a very dangerous outfit.  If only we could get him to change his ways.  You know SF will jump like a cat on a hot tin roof for him.

 

I cannot help but think if the Jags cut this guy loose that we jump at giving him a chance to change his life.

 

Maybe being on a team that is up and coming might change his attitude.

 

Such and incredible talent. 

 

Just the thought.   

 

With our without him I think we are going to be fine.

I'm pretty sure he's suspended for this entire season.

 

Actually he can be reinstated before the season. 

 

Give him a vet minimum and incentives.   If he fails again.  he is going to be gone for lifetime.

 

His baggage is a ton but he is so young.  Rivera is that type of a coach that gets the respect.  Maybe he could turn him around.

 

You know someone is going to give him a chance.

If he does get released and can be had cheap, the Panthers would be crazy to not give him a look.  Give him a "prove it" deal with almost no guaranteed money.  If he gets his poo together he's a stud on the field.  If he continues to be a headcase, cut him loose.

If GMan viewed Smitty as a distraction how do you think he would view Blackmon? I would rather stick with what we have.

That was a totally different scenario.  Blackmon would be coming into the organization under a zero tolerance policy.  It would be his second chance to turn it around.  It's Cam and Kuechly's team and he would know that coming in.  Smitty was here way before any other current team leaders and probably had a loud voice in the locker room.  You're comparing apples and oranges.

      He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
