Seward was a great draft pick for the Panthers. He was a 5th rounder if I remember correctly. To get 5 years out of a guy and have him contribute, all be it on mainly ST, is a solid late round pick. He was never really going to be apart of the main LB rotation but did show promise early on. I find it sad that guys like this go un-noticed / unapprechiated for what they do for the team. Just like Lucas and Goings, Seward's time was up in Carolina but for what he gave the team the past five years I say thanks.

is dan connor next to be like this..i hope not but with landon sticking around i dont see him takeing the place of Diggs..but it would be a waste for us to have him as a backup.

Also, things are looking good for us to receive compensatory draft picks in 2010. That is the 4th FA we have lost and we have not signed any new ones. Unfortunatley, Jones contract with the Titans was at the league minimum and those values are sometimes not high enough to receive even a 7th round pick. But Jones contract was for three years and that could help the computation somewhat. I am hoping Seward's is for the above the minimum.

Of course if we go out and sign 4 or more UFA's and they stick on the roster after cuts, then all of what I said goes out the door. Such is the way the process works.

Yas is wrong in that article. The Pats did not sign Seward to an offer sheet last year, he just worked out for them and they never called back thus he signed his one year tender with us.

you expected yas to be right? weird.

anyway....he was good backup and depth to have. i was glad that we didn't have to use him much in the past couple years. doesn't hurt as much as losing hangman but still...thanks for being a part of the team.

glad he has another chance to play somewhere. hopefully he won't be buried in the depth chart and gets some good PT there.

      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.
