Would you have taken this bet?

This Ravens fan at my job started talkin' sh*t about the Panthers won't win more than 3 games this season.

I said "Okay, put some money on it!"

He says "A 100 dollars sounds good!"

I said "Lets go!!!!!"

He made that same bet with two other people.

I believe we can pull off atleast 4 victories: split 2 of the division games, take out Jacksonville and beat the Cardinals like we did last year.

People base there idiot projections on our team based off of last season. What people don't mention thoa is the fact we had a lameduck coach a pooload of injuries and pickles starting at QB.

That doesn't make their prediction stupid. Many people had Carolina winning only 6 games last season, and the fans were quick to call those people idiots as well. Some Bengals and Hawks fans think people predicting their team to only win 3 games are idiots as well.

The Panthers need to prove they can win some games first before earning any of their respect....as it should be.

    • 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.
