Just a forewarning...

I've been pretty down on Stroud but if he plays well against UGA tonight I might be pounding the table to trade up and get him.

Tonight is HUGE for that young man.

 

He would be a target without question.  I think Levis might end up being the second QB taken so he could slide into a nice trade up position with luck.

Young is that dude. We need to hope the Texans screw up and win some games and let the bears have the first round pick. We then trade up with them to nab Young. 

I agree Young just passes the eye and gut test. 

The Texans are a team that could fall for Levis in my opinion.  I'm not a fan but Kentucky did him no favors and he'll likely only gain traction from here on out.  Bears could win another game and AZ could also be Pick 2 when all is said and done. 

The highest we can draft is Pick 7 and we really should consider leaping LVR, ATL, IND & SEA for a QB if we're sold on Young.  If we end up pick 19, then it's probably a different story but I'm game for a Young trade up if not.  

Dream scenario:

1-Texans: Levis QB

2-Cards: Carter/Anderson DL

3-Bears: We trade up from Pick 7-10ish and grab Young. Just don't go crazy with the future picks.

He has the ability and the physical traits.  Accuracy is awesome, can lead and create for his receivers super nicely when things are going right. 

He simply needs to show he can step up when the structure of that offense breaks down.  For me, it's all about how he can show his ability to create when he needs to go off-script. Improvisational skills and strong decisions on the fly are what I hope to see.

Bingo.

That's what I haven't seen from him and that's what concerns me. I mean, Sam Darnold also looks really good when everything goes right. But...

      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.
