I think the importance of coordinators is sometimes overestimated, but in that case, I think that was because of the style of defense Del Rio pushed. That team had a lot of sacks.

I actually think it's underestimated. You could make an argument that it's more important to have great coordinators than a great head coach.

(not saying it's true, mind you; just arguable)

On the topic of Brown, what I saw of him yesterday looked good. He helped provide pressure more than once. And I do think he has a good future.

I have no beef with Brown and now that he is on the Panthers but I really think a first was too much for him at the time. It might end up being a good move but unless he turns into a pro-bowler this will forever be a bust in my eyes. We could have gotten Sidbury Jr. in the 4th (IMO he would be contributing just as much as brown for a lot less). But I am far more pissed about us taking Martin when S. Smith was still on the board. That was just plain stupid. Same goes for Irvin when Sammie Hill was still there. I really think they screwed the pooch this offseason.

      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.
