I still wouldnt be suprised to see us trade Peppers this year before the deadline. Denver has a few 1st rounders and still needs a pass rusher. If we could get Elvis Dummervil and a 1st rounder for Peppers I could live with that.

Um not so sure you can trade a franchise player.

Franchised players cannot be traded iirc. and who would pick up his '09 contract anyway?

We can tank the rest of the season...intentionally or not...get the #1 overall pick and then trade Peppers to SF to get our pick back. Then, we essentially traded Peppers for Brown and Goodson. I'll take that. The hippies out there will love his laid back attitude, and with the $17M we gave him this year he can actually afford a house. I wonder what Singletary would do to him after the first play he trotts around two hand touch style.

after last year and his probable lackluster season nobody in their right mind would give us a 1st round pick next year for peppers...oh wait I might know someone...:

Recently clarified: Franchise players can be traded in season, but their contracts cannot be renegotiated or extended.

You'd essentially have to find someone who was willing to give up something significant for a one year, 17 million dollar player whose effectiveness is in question.

Good luck on that one.

      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.
