epic interview.. no use recapping- just gotta hear it.. whenever it goes up I will post here

http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=13816770

talked about his horse (Delta) and talking with the official about his celebration before he got flagged, said Delta was a majestic horse, the kind a General would ride back in the day.

Russillo asked him if his tammates thought he was "weird" and Josh said "No, but I guess you think I am." 

Contract: sounds like Josh isn't looking for a hometown discount. Top Dollar is what he is after.. :(

the fight with Cam in Camp: two lions going at it trying to get the best of each other. He says "look at what cam is doing this year. he's in MVP talks. and he has made me better and love him for it."

No one except for players on the downside of their career give 'hometown discounts.' If he puts together a stellar year, he'll either get tagged or signed by us to a strong contract. Gettleman isn't afraid to pay people, but giving Norman a top dollar contract based on his current body of work is just silly. I love having him on our team and he's playing his way to a contract like that. He's not there yet.

He's just coming into his prime. It's quite an adjustment from playing Coastal Carolina to the NFL. He has put all the work in and has proven that he deserves to be paid like a top CB last year and so far this year. You better believe he will get paid huge.

From the numbers I'm seeing, the CB franchise tag number (for this year) is a touch over 13 million.  Familiar number, which could play out a familiar way...without the domestic violence and all. 

 

Extending or cutting CJ, cutting Harper/Stewart, and some other moves, and we can easily fit a long-term Norman deal in (with space left over obviously).  But, will we if he's looking for say 12+ million? Going to be an interesting offseason.

We can also cut Dwan and Cotchery. And I don't see how Kalil doesn't get restructured.

That franchise tag is coming.  we went to back to back nfcs champs and playoffs without him.  now everyone wants to pay him.  thank god fans aren't in control of tough decisions.

Not sure what you mean, as he was definitely a big part of the resurgence late last year.

We don't make the playoffs last year without Josh. Not a chance. And in 2013 he would've brought us to the Super Bowl if he was playing then like he is now. Lot of players gone from that team, most notably on D is Hardy. We wouldn't be 4-0 right now without Josh. It's a no brainer to extend him. Franchise tag would be completely fuging stupid, thank God you aren't in control of tough decisions. $13M for a 1 year rental? Hell no. Franchise tags are used when you have a franchise player that you want to re-sign and the sides haven't come to terms on a contract. Rarely do players play out the year on the tag. And per Voth we had no intentions of re-signing Hardy even had the arrest not happened. Gettleman has learned his lesson. Franchise tag is only coming if they can't agree on a deal before the season begins which is extremely unlikely.

this year is as relevant as his previous years.  we won our division back to back without him one year and he contributed down the stretch the second year.  that deserves a 100M commitment?  no freaking way.  i like josh a lot.  but we just had a huge deal go down just for a player to get injured.  josh will play the year out, and if we can't come to terms, he'll probably be tagged.  he'll be 30 years old at that point, and we'll have used up his best years while saving the money to put into the dline.

      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.
