Trade Sutton? Panthers say no.

(By Darin Gannt, [email protected]) The Carolina Panthers take pride in having one of the deepest running back groups in the league, and had no intentions to break it up.p/A league source said that one NFC team called recently inquiring about the availability of running back Tyrell Sutton, but were promptly dismissed by the Panthers, who had no interest in trading him. Panthers officials wouldn't comment, saying they don't discuss conversations with other teams.

It was for Vincent Jackson, right? :)

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised to find that the team was Baltimore and the player was Mark Clayton. He went to the Rams for a late pick, the Panthers have a need for a WR, and Baltimore would love another good running back.

Don't negotiate much do you?

Every player on the team is available for trade... for the right player(s).

Well, you suggested that they were going to trade for a WR. Not a hint in anything says that was the case.

What's come out is that another team contacted them about getting a FB, and they turned it down. Frankly, I would be surprised if the Front Office didn't field at least one trade feeler a day during this time of year.

I think the call may have been about a WR who was recently moved, but that's just as speculative as the post you linked to. Really, no one has any idea what it's about. And it didn't come from the Panthers. So I'm not sure where this negotiation is, honestly. Not that Hurney does a lot of negotiation through the media anyway...

      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.
