QUARTERBACK!!!

 

 

 

Has turning any college QB into "Athlete" ever worked out? Considering the failure rate is like 99%, it almost makes more sense to draft a guy like Armanti and just keep him at QB. I wish Fox would have trolled him out there during the 2010 season. Just because a guy is black, tall and somewhat fast (Armanti is probably slower than some linemen) doesn't mean he can be a competent WR. I'm glad we're at a point were a guy like Teddy Bridgewater will go into the NFL as a QB, and not get the Warron Moon treatment. Armanti sucked here, but thats because he was playing out of position. I hope somebody picks him up and gives him a shot. I'm not saying he will be any good as a NFL QB, but it can't get any worse than what we saw from him at wide out.

All the freaking time. Josh Cribbs, Julian Eddleman, Antwaan Randel El off the top of my head from the last few years. Anquan Boldin and Hines Ward were QBs in high school and part of college. Armanti is really the only flat out failure that even comes to mind.

      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.
