Next season, whoever the (new) coach is next year faces/needs:

1) FACES: Another Julius Peppers quagmire off-season'

2) FACES: 1 WR worth a dam on the roster.

-- Smitty still has game.

-- Moose is another year older and needs to go

-- Jarrett is a friggin' waste. In his 3rd season he can't beat out Moose...or contribute. Colbert at least had 1 good season before $ucking! No more Pete Carroll reject WRs!

3) NEEDS: A need for 2 (TWO) QUALTY Defensive Ends

-- JP isn't worth the money/draft picks/FA pick-ups we missed out on

- Our 2010 1st Rnd Draft Pick is under-sized /got 'stoned' today. He is a situational pass rusher, and paying next year's 1st round draft pick for him was STUPID!

4) NEEDS: A QB

-- Jake telegraphs his throws, zeroes in on Smitty, and I'm not even sure he knows there are other WRs on the team most times anymore. 30+ yo, Tommy Johns Sugery, 12 turnovers in the last 3 games, relied on Smitty pulling miracles out of his bum.

5) NEED another DT and more depth

yes! nothing like another fan to give up and then decide exactly what we need to do next season. Thank you, kind sir, for figuring it all out. Check back in on the team and us poor saps after next offseason.

also, fresh new opinion on the "Jake stares down blahblahblah". 15 targets went to Smith. He threw 41 times. That's a lot of throws to no one else given that there was a total of 9 different players targeted - literally every possible receiver other than Hoover (who got hurt) and Barnidge (who was 3rd string TE).

But maybe it'd make you feel better to trot Barnidge out there with the game on the line than have Jake see Smith one on one with a guy he'd beaten 8 times already, and should've beaten again.

2010 draft will be full of QB. could b one of the best in years, and we will be absolute dumb not to go after one. the jets made a gamble and gave up most of their draft for a Qb, and we see how that turned out. of course, they were also active in free agency. I agree 100% on Peppers. if we cant get him a deal long term that is cap friendly then trade him, or let him go. we cannot take the hit again next year. isn't it sad that we are already looking to next year?

      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.
