Yep. I was driving the tank for Trevor train. If we had Lawrence instead of Darnold, I’d be happy going to the playoffs. They’ve got a young and much more talented team than us, playoff experience is good for them.

I don’t know why this is hard to get. QBs go high, especially potential franchise guys. It’s weird that people don’t want to tank in any way to get a QB but they seem fine with the trade up concept because it’s even better having to give up multiple firsts instead of just having a good enough pick to get a franchise QB.

I wonder if most people in here even realize that one more loss in 2019 and we’ve got Herbert. One more loss in 2020 and we get the 3 first round pick haul from SF instead of Horn.

Just a brain dead mantra of every win is a good win and the brain dead perspective that mantra makes you a better fan. From the perspective of the players, coaches, front office personnel, etc I get it. They have jobs to protect. But from the fan perspective, there comes a point that there is an actual real future competitive disadvantage to winning and that point is when you realize you're not a contender.

It's what sucks about pro sports fandom. In college, there's never a competitive advantage to losing unless you're desperately wanting a coach change. You always want to win. That's just not the case in the pros with the way the draft order works.

      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.
