For those of you that don't know, George was Cam's personal QB coach before the draft...

Awesome tweets here with great perspective:

The 12-hour days of QB camp Cam Newton put in with @georgewhitfield for weeks and weeks this offseason paying off.

*I'm running all over the training field today teaching & I'm told that the Panthers battled the Packers tough & that Cam had another "day"..

*Then a 9 year old who arrived early for the next session comes down the track screaming "4-3-2!". Had no idea what meant. Then I heard...

*I'm so incredibly proud of my latest student like any teacher would be. It isn't the numbers, though AMAZING, it's his defiance & work ethic

*The Panthers lost today and are now 0-2. And I can already see that being the 'low hanging fruit' for all the detractors.

*The Colts were 3-13 in Peyton Manning's rookie year & Dallas was 1-15 with Troy Aikman. Great players get drafted to bad teams.

*The difference this last week was that detractors far & wide couldn't wait to discount Cam's debut. Beginner's luck. Cardinals D. Miracle.

*After a historical performance all I heard was "He'll come back to Earth" vs Pack D. "Gig is up". "He'll get a wake up call vs Capers"!

*Sportsnation said he was finally playing a "Varsity defense". Varsity? In a professional league, how are accomplishments discounted so much

*I know Cam is sick about being 0-2 and wants to help that team get a "W" each time out. But they are improving & competing each week!

*Cowboy fans were rewarded for hanging in there w Aikman & so were the Colts, obviously w Manning. Hang in there Panther Nation!

*For all those ppl that "safely" predicted Cam's (reality check) & (implosion) this wk vs the Super Bowl Champs... Thank you

*Going forward the true pressure is on the Detractors more than it is on #1 for the Panthers.

*Detractors will be up late & maybe w/o sleep working to redefine, discount, & knock Cam's play, again. "How do we spin it now?" #goodluck

*What will they say next? What will Cam Newton do next?

*C-Rex!

*Finally saw the highlights of Pack/ Panther game. This was Dr Aaron Rogers vs Cam Newton the Med student.

@georgewhitfield joe montana was 2-14 his rookie year and john elway was 4-12 I think. Even, steve young was on a 5-11 bucs team.

He put it well at the end.

The Packers are what we can become. Cam is learning while Rodgers is a certified baller already.

Yeah, I loved that quote "Doctor" and "Med Student," lol...

I've never been more excited going forward following losses (don't get me wrong, I'm pissed we let them both get away though, lol).

      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.
