It IS the beginning of something great. And I typically don't like to play the "disrespect" or "under the radar" card...

But, to have these many people getting paid to analyze football and declare OUR QB to be a project, yet, he comes out and performs the way he did. Yet, these same guys continue to troll on national media outlets... That's just too much disrespect for me.

But, ultimately, it doesn't matter what they say. We know what we have, and we're gonna surprise some people this year... Just would appreciate it if people would man up nowadays.

Thank you! People act as if someone talked poo about their own family or something. And I will remind folks Cam IS going to have some really shitty outings that is how it goes.

And although I am really happy with what I saw yesterday, it was ONE game, his first game. Lets see how he looks in 10 years before anointing the kid :-)

Respect isn't given I.e to a kid that has tons of ? around him coming out of college, from a crappy college system and with a history of dual threat QB's failing in the NFL.

Respect is earned...OVER TIME. Not after one game. Now I have seen many media give him props so they gave him what he EARNED....yesterday.

And I gotta ask, why do you folks still give a poo what anyone in any media say?

Personally I would rather just kick ass, take names, win superbowls and not give a poo what anyone else outside of the Panther nation has to say.

I usually feel the same way, but I have to disagree with the analysis of him coming out of college.

How many times have you seen a player come out of college with national writers tweeting just a portion of what they said from a much larger interview in order to completely trash his character? Or have national writers putting stuff out there like "he's fake, his smile is fake."

You have guys like Hoge talking out of their ass and still refusing to give Cam credit for what he's doing.

What this means to me? It's not business, it's personal. These members of the media have made it a personal matter. Many of them have insulted him as a person, and therefore, have insulted me, as this is MY team and that's MY QB (*T.O. crying face*). But seriously, I take these as personal attacks, because they've attacked a player on my team, unprovoked.

For whatever reason, Cam is a guy that polarizes people. Add to the media stuff that half of this community went retard when drafting him became a possibility... I've never seen so much unwarranted "hate" on a guy that has done nothing but shown a commitment to be great and make amends for past mistakes.

It pisses me off and people should have to answer for talking reckless.

      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.
