This random website with no sources or much credibility says Panthers are heavy player for Randall Cobb


Growl

Like I said, the guy doesn't say "anonymous sources" or anything, Pretty much just insinuates he has some bronies in the know or something. So yeah. It's crap.

Now it's being reported that Dave Gettleman has reached out to Drew Rosenhaus to inquire about Randall Cobb's asking price. Many close to the situation believe that Gettleman has made Cobb his top priorty in free agency which will begin in less than two weeks.

Of course Gettleman will ask. It would be ridiculous for him to do anything more than kick the tires though.

If what he "reported" were actually true, the Panthers would get hit for tampering. Something tells me the kid writing this blog doesn't know enough about football to realize that.

Seems pretty obvious he's making up stories to get attention. Heck, his story about a supposed trade of Derek Anderson isn't even fully written. It cuts off and turns into a complaint about the admins on the site :wacko:

I'm not naive enough to believe that every team in the league isn't "tampering" around the clock this time of year, but I think we can agree that this guy isn't exactly a savant.

Tampering never happens. Just ask any team's GM :lol:

I think part of the reason the NFL changed when and how free agency starts is because it was getting difficult to explain how guys had signed contracts ready for approval five minutes after midnight.

(but nobody was tampering)

    • 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.
