Dude I was agreeing with you. That TE everybody is bashing had receiving stats almost as good (if not better) than that WR.

Learn to comprehend.

Yeah i need to read slower next time... i brushed over it and shot from the hip. My bad.

You guys have valid points. Maybe he will contribute. Maybe he won't. But in my personal opinion, I'm not too worried about him being in ATL. I would be much more worried about a division rival getting some of the younger talent that was previously available, that's all.

Yup, it would suck to see them pick up a really good young talent. Like a solid 2nd rounder :D

I think it's a good move for both sides.

Funny that Peterson could never get a second rounder for Gonzo when he was the GM. I know that's what they were supposedly holding out for that and one team (GB I think) was willing to give up a third which is what I think Gonzales says was promised would be the level sought when he asked for a trade before but KC went back on it according to him.

Agreed. That's my point. I think for a young team that has a lot of core young talent, you need all the low round draft picks you can get to build a young nucleus. I'm sure he may come in and make a difference, but I think when you've got a rookie QB and a really young HB, in Ryan and Turner, you could get someone solid for years for the O-Line in the 2nd rounder.

I have complete understanding and to just dismiss this as a salary cap move is laughable. For a 34 year old douchey QB a salary cap move is a 2-3 extension with a helluva lot less then 20 million owed. Especially after he poo the bed.

I would love to hear what your "solution" at QB would be... no wait, I wouldn't because it would probably be as unreasonable and ridiculous as your opinion on most everything else... LOL

You clearly don't understand why spreading out 45 million over 5 years is cheaper then spreading it out over 2 or 3 years. You also clearly don't understand why they would make half the contract guaranteed money. I feel sad for you.

Making fun of a team that traded for a 33 year old HOF TE when their team just signed their mediocre 34 year old QB to a 5/42 million dollar deal...

IRONY...

Criticizing a cap-strapped team for signing their starting QB to an extension because you don't understand how the salary cap works.

Okay, that's not really ironic - it's just pathetic.

Right now he's better than any TE they have on the roster, so the move makes sense from that perspective, but it's a short-term fix at the cost of drafting a young player in the 2nd round that could be a long-term solution.

Just ask the Skins how this approach works out.

      He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....

      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.
