Power Rankings week 6

Post ém if you got ém.

 

Only one I have found so far is Yahoo. Two things from Yahoo:

14. Carolina Panthers (3-2-1, LW: 13)

Pro Football Focus' top graded quarterback this season? Cam Newton. Don't worry, he'll still be in the mid-teens in next season's various quarterback ranking lists.

 

 

Fairly accurate at this point. But the funniest is the Cincinnati ranking:

 

 

 

6. Cincinnati Bengals (3-1-1, LW: 3)

Cam Newton is an elite quarterback, and he's capable of games like that. Still, giving up 37 at home? After the Patriots torched them the week before? Little concerning.

 

 

Thanks for the praise of Cam, but seems to be a little misplaced. :)

I still can't believe how good Cam has been as a passer this year. Little to no high throws so far this year, delivering absolutely beautiful balls on a consistent basis...often times where only his receiver can make a play.

 

The sky really is the limit for Cam. As for our ranking, yeah, somewhere outside the Top 10 seems fair. If we find a competent defense/special teams, then we'll be Top 10.

I think we are slowly turning back into a offensive team, if not now it will be  a sure thing after the GB game. At this point you have to go with whatever is winning you games and we are just not winning off defense anymore.  Like i said in the other thread hopefully Rivera realizes this and goes with what is working for his team we will continue to lose games if we keep trusting in the defense to win it for us.

    • 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.
