He's cool because....

According to the Chronicle-Telegram, Jake Delhomme has just signed a two-year deal with the Cleveland Browns which pays him $7 million next year. According to Yahoo Sports and The Sporting News, Jake will also get $12.7 million from the Carolina Panthers, who cut him despite his guaranteed contract because of a string of awful games filled with key interceptions.

Delhomme will make a whopping $19 million-plus next season. Last year the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL was New York Giants QB Eli Manning at $15.285 million.

I could see Jackson and Harrison desputing thier contract and I could possibly see Abram Elam disputing his but everyone else doesnt deserve a improved contact. They didn't win last year and expect to get paid more? I think not. I can't understand how they could call Matt Roth a pass rush specialist? He has never had more than 5 sacks in a season, some specialist that is. Maybe the Browns are so horrible because they consider people like him specialst? I guess Jake Delhomme is a touchdown specialist for the Browns too. The Browns are a mess and keepingg players with that attitude on your team will only hurt your team.

Jake Delhomme and torched usually do not go along in the same sentence. Unless you say "Angry Redneck NC State fans threatened to torch Jake Delhomme's house unless the Panthers traded for Philip Jesus Rivers" ...... jk kidding NC State fans just an offseason-i am bored- joke

      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.
