based off of nothing but the ole gut.  I think Cam's break to get healthy is more than just physical.  Hence why the hardline is never taken of, of course he is the starter when he gets back. 

I mean, I just think it has been off, odd and weird from the jump.  The bar of him only returning when he reaches 100% never has made sense.  I mean name any player in NFL history where that bar was set for them to return in a season that matters.  100% doesn't exist in a NFL season.  The public language has never been right in this IMO. 

and I am not alluding to one thing in particular.   But they haven't been honest about Cam this season publicly from the jump.  Doubt they are now.

However, it is interesting that "Cam is the starter period" hard line is not being taken. I expected it would be. 

It was said prior to Arizona. It hasn't been since.

Voth discounting the Schefter report plays into Person's "tug of war" idea.

Have you listened to Greg’s FS1 and first take interviews from yesterday? I get the feeling they are waiting for Cam to be Cam. This includes running the football and him being himself mentally. I did not get the feeling that this will happen in the next week or so.

He also said as players we respect what Cam has done for us in the past. It’s fine for players to feel that way but when it comes to the team, that’s how you end up like Hurney the first go round.

Players will always be loyal. Guys were still pulling for Jake even when it was obvious he was done.

Mind you, that's not to say Cam is done, but you can't really go by teammates. They're never gonna be objective.

I find it interesting that a lot of Cam fans think he cannot be cut/moved because of what was done in the past. I mean, it happens to the best of them.

Also, it doesn’t matter that 10 other teams think he’s got something left in the tank. It only matters what the panthers think.

Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, Emmitt Smith, Brett Favre and many others all wound up being let go from the teams they were iconically tied to.

It may or may not happen to Cam Newton, but believing that it's totally impossible is incorrect.

Well as already mentioned, just enjoy the ride. We’ll know soon enough.

      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.
