1st and 3rd for Dwill


Lumps

Recommended Posts

I would have given it to Johnson, who better have a first round tender.

The Carolina Panthers placed restricted free-agent tenders on 14 players on Wednesday, including running back DeAngelo Williams, defensive end Charles Johnson and quarterback Matt Moore.

For a damn good record-setting running back

I am a huge DW fan and I hope he retires as a Panther, but still you have to admit that a 1st and 3rd is a lot to give up for a running back given their risk of injury and longevity.

Backs are cheap and for good reason. It's been a long time since a team with a bellcow back has won a Super Bowl. It's nice to have, but not all that important to have a stud back outside of fantasy football.

If Hurney got a first and third for Dwill, he should have the stadium named after him.

I suppose its a lot but we are talking

He set:

NCAA record 7,573 career all-purpose yards and 34 100-yard rushing games

Since he was drafted in 06 (1st round):

Selected for the Pro Bowl

Panthers Record for most rushing yards in a season

Panthers record for most rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns in a season

To me, he is worth at least a 1st rounder, but I guess that's just me.

    • 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.
