Panthers say knee injury contributed to Newton collapsing

Florio correctly points out that when he was being examined on the field, nobody looked at his knee.

Probably would have been better to stick with the "we told him to fake an injury to buy time" story.

I mean, Ron played him with a bum shoulder for 3 games in 2016.

You think he was gonna let a little thing like a concussed brain stop him from trotting Cam back out there?

And the NFL doesn't get off the damn hook on this either.  If the NFL wants to insist that Cam WAS concussed, then they damn well need to admit their shitty referees missed yet ANOTHER shot to Cam's head without throwing a flag.  And I don't think the defender was coming in for an intentional head shot either but, according to the NFL rules, THAT DOESN'T (or shouldn't) MATTER.

Why is this even in the players and coaches hands. If they felt like he had a concussion then there should have been someone from the league to escort him off the field. You can't expect a player to take himself out of a game like that.

I don't believe he was concussed.

I also have no trouble believing that the Panthers probably went around the proper procedure in order to get him back in the game. Whether or how much trouble they get into for it. We'll see.

I do find myself wishing that we wouldn't say things to make ourselves look stupid in the process.

      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.
