I have not posted in a while but all this info and training camp news has gotten the old juices flowing....So with that said a lot of the talk around here is that Byrd If he makes the team It would be for special teams. With that said I'm not sure how many special team/utility guys we need on a roster thats already deep at the main position both these guys would most likely see time at(outside special teams) So with that said does Byrd's chance to make the roster finally make Webb a man with out a home? Sure Webb does a lot more and plays 3 roles for the team but chances are he wont see time at QB(barring some downright meltdown In which case i would rather sign some guy with more starting exp.) Not many teams carry 3 qbs all year but It is nice to have a guy that can play that role as well,But if it is up to me and It means keeping a Dynamic special teams guy and Improving WR I take Byrd cut Webb and see how thing shake down with the rest of the wideouts....I hate to see Bersin Philly or Steven Hill gone just for a special teams spot...so have at It what say you?

Considering they just extended Webb in March I think he's a lock.  At his size and athleticism who can replace him as scout team QB, gunner, and return blocker? I don't think it's Byrd. He's a  more useful than Hill IMO. His versatility frees up roster space as opposed to wasting it.

      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.
