Is it worth the trade off?

Consider this for a moment.

If the Panthers had beaten the Cardinals then beaten the Eagles and gone on to the Super Bowl, then at this very moment Mike Trgovac would still be the defensive coordinator.

Add in that with this season ending in a Super Bowl appearance, it's a lot less likely that there would have been any significant coaching changes next season. Thus, we'd probably have headed into next year with Trgovac too, and possibly all the departed underlings as well.

So which outcome would you prefer?

A) Make it to the Super Bowl and keep the prior staff for the foreseeable future since there'd be no reason to rearrange a winning staff

B) Get bounced from the playoffs and have a major coaching shakeup that likely alters the future dramatically (for better or worse)

I don't agree with you there at all. Historically, teams that are very successful often lose their coaching staff to other teams looking for "good" talent. Look at the 2004 Pats for an example... in just one year after a Super Bowl, they lost both their OC Charlie Weis, and DC Romeo Crennel (this is why they stuck out in my mind). They also lost several assistant coaches, including Jeff Davidson.

So in essence, even if we had won the Super Bowl, I think it even more likely that we would not have kept our current coaching staff, including Mike Trgovac.

If we had won the Super Bowl that would mean that we didn't have the coaching meltdown that was witnessed in the Arizona game. That would make keeping the coaching staff in tact easier to take. Sal Sunseri might have left to go to Alabama any way and I'm sure seveeral of the others would have jumped at new and better positions. We would have had a turnover either way. Since we sisn't win the SB I'm glad we had the mass exodus. Change is good, especially when the status quo isn't getting the desired effects.

It depends on what market is left, which after the Super Bowl, isn't that much. Most teams try to get their jobs filled, likely passing up on the favorites, if they're still active. Had the Vagies came out of the NFC, Spags wouldn't be in St. Louis now - Chip Rosenbloom preferred Frazier. Jim Schwartz probably wouldn't have been the Detroit guy if the Titans were still alive.

      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.
