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.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
