Or he could be looking at the god-damn play clock and always getting a jump on the chipper between Shula's time consuming play calls and Cam's LOS adjustments. 

Correct. It wasn't mentioned in the article, but this is a big reason why the Panthers offense is predictable, and it is embarrassing to be called out for it in an article by the player that cost the Panthers a championship.

Or wait, no I'm wrong. Everyone else is right. This isn't embarrassing. He's just a great player. The Panthers are just cursed because they have a black cat as a mascot, predicable snap counts and offensive tells have nothing to do with it.

Von Miller is a hell of a player, everyone should and for the most part do acknowledge that but the Panthers made his job a lot easier by having the play-clock run low each play and Cam dropping too deep when passing.

It's not that much different than how Luke can see something and knows exactly what the offense will be running. Some players dedicate themselves to film study and have the memory, instincts and ability to blow up a play. It's not often you find players with that combination.

Do keep in mind that players always say stuff like this when they win. There's always some embellishment in there.

Von Miller is an absolute beast and clearly a very intelligent football player. 

Was he using us as an example? Maybe, but if I had a Superbowl MVP performance I'd be bringing it up too. 

I think he's a little competitive with Cam specifically because Cam went #1 overall and he went second.

Of all the teams Von has played against, of all the sacks he's gotten in his career, he picks the Panthers to illustrate his point. Chris Harris used a Panthers play in his article too. Wonder why...

Cuz we were the team that was center stage playing them for the world to see, and they executed their poo perfectly.  No other reason

I love Von Miller


Not that I don't want Cam as our qb but I can't help but wonder what this team would look like of we had our second round pick the year we drafted Cam. We could have taken Von at one and Dalton at the top of the second. I think we would probably be a better team now because the coaches and front office would have had to acquire actual talent on offense instead of just letting Cam carry it for so many years.

I'd still take Cam in a do over draft. I just love Von as a football player and an individual. He's the good, funny, weird, make sense version of the Bennett's brothers.

In a lot of ways Cam and Von are very similar personality wise, if you put them on the same team they would probably be fuging inseparable. And again I want to reiterate I am not saying i don't or wouldn't want Cam but it would be interesting to see what we would have looked like if things had been different.

      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.
