from ProFootballTalk.com:

"...Crossman has a year left on his deal. But since he's not being back $6.5 million in 2010, the team apparently was willing to pay him not to work. Crossman has been with the Panthers since 2003, coach John Fox's second year on the job. The Panthers struggled this year on special teams, finishing 30th in kickoff coverage, 29th in punt coverage, 30th on kickoff returns, and 17th on punt returns."

and this has nothing to do with being fired? by that i mean was another thread really necessary? same subject(crossman) should mean it goes in the same thread. i can't believe how much of a cluster fug this place gets to be when Zod lets the offseason rule come into play.

No way is that accurate. Not even this dumbassed franchise is that stupid.

Although if this IS true, this should explode the constant theories people have had that people like Fox and Delhomme are going to be retained because of all the money they have due.

But seriously, no way is that number accurate. That's more than Fox makes I believe.

Um, guys, they're not saying Crossman is making $6.5 mil, they're saying since Crossman DOESN'T make that much, we were willing to fire him (the assumption being we aren't willing to fire Fox BECAUSE he makes $6.5 mil). I thought it was pretty obvious.

This.

Crossman has a year left on his deal. But since he's not being back $6.5 million in 2010, the team apparently was willing to pay him not to work.

Should read as:

Crossman has a year left on his deal. But since he's not being paid $6.5 million in 2010, the team apparently was willing to pay him not to work.

I read that earlier and had to double-take.

      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.
