RIP Carrol Shelby

I thought Jim Hall was more of a innovator, but there's no denying that Shebly turned out some of the best performance cars in the world.

I was talking with Lee Holman several eyars ago. He had 2 new Cobra's in his shop he was finishing up. (In case you don't know it, Carrol Shelby may have oversaw the design of the GT-40's, but it was Holman and Moody here in Charlotte that bulit them, that kicked Enzo's A$$! That was after Ford was all set to by Ferrari back in the 60's. Enzo stepped in at the last minute and said that Farrari was never going to be owned by some cheap car company! (Wrong thing to say to Henry Ford!))

The Cobra's Lee had were built in Praugue. He said that Shebly said they were poor imitations of his original Cobra's. That was, until Carroll Shelby bought the company and continued numbering the chassis' with the original Cobra frame numbers.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By cranky · Posted

      First, am I wrong? I looked back over all his posts here and I didn't see anything positive other than Shough. Second, pretty sure if you had read the post I was responding to, you would have seen CRA made poo personal as well . You just choose to address me instead of him. Not sure why?????

      Give Legette another season?

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble.    Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By cranky · Posted

      Pretty sure it is a given Young lacks typical QB size and strength and he is here simply because his other attributes more than make up for it. My point is not to indicate anyone "settled" for him but rather to remind people that there have been plenty of big, strong QB's that have not lived up to expectations. Jamis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Trey Lance, JaMarcus Russel are a few examples. They all have the physical attributes coveted by teams and yet none have had sustained success in the NFL. And yes, there are QBs that do have both but there aren't many and some of the ones still playing were failures with their early teams. Saying Young is a bust simply based upon his size (and I do think it is as simple as that for a few guys around here) is unfair to both him and the team.
