At least they didn't throw Bradshaw or Aikman in there.

Staubach over Bradshaw is an interesting choice.

Bradshaw bested him repeatedly, but if you were to ask me who was the more skilled quarterback I'd probably have to say Staubach.

I hate to give any Cowboy a compliment, but I would probably agree. Bradshaw was a very good qb, but the Steelers had a boatload of talent around him.  Dominant defense, great receivers, and a great oline and running game.

That’s because Staubach was a much better QB. 
 

   Bradshaw shouldn’t be in the top 30. He was benched, twice, during their first SB season. In his 5th year. When we get to this elite level of comparison, everything counts. Just like Brees and his first 3 years before the rule change. Those count.

I wouldn't argue that. Bradshaw was always a more balls than brains kind of player.

Leaving a guy that won four Super Bowls off the top ten list though? Ouch.

Speaking of Super Bowls, you know who I'm kinda surprised to see left off this list?

Jim Kelly.

Yeah, I know he lost those games but Kelly was a damn good QB. I could argue he's at least better than Favre and Elway.

I'd agree with that.  Aikman and Elway are as overrated as it gets for me.  Good QB's, but not all time greats like heralded.  Same with Favre, although I like him a bit more than those two.

My thing with Favre is yeah, he probably had a better career overall than Aaron Rodgers has had to this point.

But in the same vein as Staubach and Bradshaw, could you really say Favre is the better quarterback?

      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.
