Saturday games

Bucs-Lions could be kind of a "what if" game for us. Because a few of their coaches are out due to covid protocols (including interim head coach Darrell Bevell) the Lions offense will be called by  QB Coach Sean Ryan.

Ryan was heavily rumored to be the Panthers choice for OC before the name of Joe Brady popped up.

Just spit balling here, but let's say we don't love the QB options available in the 1st. Let's say that Lawrence and Wilson are gone and we're not super high on Fields or Lance (again, just spit balling here). Let's say the Lions are willing to trade Stafford for our 2nd and a 3rd next year?

What do you do?

Honestly, I do it and I field offers for that pick for a team trying to move up to get Lance or Fields.

Is Penei available in this scenario?

I've never been that big a Matt Stafford fan, but if the question is whether he's better than what we have, yeah probably.

Not to answer for LG, but I find it hard to believe he'd be available in any scenario where we don't pick before the Bengals.

If we aren’t picking Lawrence, Fields, Wilson, Lance or Sewell I’d be willing to take the DE from Miami who sat out this year, Kyle Pitts, or trade back and still hope for the DE or Pitts. Possibly even JaMarr Chase. If we let Samuel walk away I’d like to keep the team with three really solid pass catchers to go with CMC. Pitts solved red zone issues. The DE makes the entire defense better when the QBs have no time to throw with Burns on the other side and Gross Mayos rotating in. You give us Stafford and I think we are close to a playoff time when you add in one of those guys.

    • 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.
