"Cam should be the big story in the NFL right now."

No one thought Cam would be this good, this quick. No one thought he'd be accurate enough. No one thought he'd be able to read defense well enough. And no one thought he'd be able to hold up to the mental rigors that playing quarterback in the NFL requires.

But he has, and then some.

Almost single-handedly, he changed the feel of the Panthers — turning a crap team into a joyful and explosive one the minute he stepped under center.

The Golden Calf of Bristol-mania is understandable, but Cam should be the big story in the NFL right now.

The Golden Calf of Bristol is such an annoying fug. I can't stand that bible thumping kid.

Maybe if you didn't hate religion, he wouldn't bug you. Give it a few weeks, it'll die down. He started his first game of the season yesterday, of course he's news. Some of you are whiney babies. It's like you're a parent and are pissed your kid got picked last in a game or something. Big deal, they're talking more about The Golden Calf of Bristol than Cam.

I don't hate religion, and Cam has had better games than The Golden Calf of Bristol, he has a better completion rating and is overall the better QB and deserves recognition. First you say "Cam isn't winning" now it's "The Golden Calf of Bristol's first game" get the the fug out of here. The Golden Calf of Bristol was nothing spectacular that game yet the media is praising him.

    • 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.
