The Hall of Honor Candidates Are...

Was thinking maybe 3 in the inaugural class, but now thinking it's going to be more like 5-7. 

Pep and Smitty are locks. After that, who knows.  Kind of hoping they keep it low and don't just induct "anyone", though. I mean, I love Moose for instance...but he doesn't belong in the Hall of Honor with three 1,000 yard seasons and 2 Pro Bowls in 11 years with us.

Kevin Greene that traitor SOB should not get in. 

Besides the fact he stabbed us in the back he wasn't here long enough.

I agree. Played 3 seasons here, left for more money after his first season, and tried to strangle the DC on the sideline his 1st year back.

I think they do a class of 5. Peppers, Smith, Delhomme, Gross, and Kasay. I really hope they retire 89 and 90 and there is a clear distinction between them and the rest.

I might replace Jake with Jenkins.  Jake can wait a year or so.

Honestly, imo, Jenkins is the only guy I think is possibly out of place here.  At one point, he was the best DT in the league,  but it didnt last very long and then the relationship with the team soured FAST.

For those criticizing the possibility of Moose, I don't see why...  a 2x pro bowler and iirc, he won the receiving triple crown the season before he went to Chicago.  And then he came back and made things right again, much like Pep.  He grew into a great ambassador of our franchise.

The other guys - Kasay, Bates, Smitty, Jake, Walls, Greene, Gamble, Gross are all deserving, imo.  People keep saying it shouldnt be just anybody getting in, but keep in mind, the franchise is 24 years old now, and we're just now getting around to a hall/ring of honor...  10 players from 24 years isn't "just letting anybody in."  That's 10 total players out of over 1,200 minimum.  Those numbers would indicate these guys are pretty exceptional...  and tbh, out of the guys they're showing here, I can't think of any other players that would fit the criteria until guy from the currently active group retire (Cam, Luke, Olsen, TD), so it's not like we're about to flood the hall with countless guys.  Even after adding Cam, Luke, Olsen, and TD, that would take us to 14 total players, most likely at some point nearing our 30th anniversary...  still a clear line of dilineation as to their level of exceptionalism compared to their teammates.  I'm fine with this.

Only other guys I could possibly see them adding outside of who I mentioned and who is in the video would be Rucker, Mills (officially), and maybe Hoover.

I would definitely include Kalil in your list. And also have Minter, Stewart, and Charles Johnson as maybes.

      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.
