Settings Expections: There will be plenty of Grier coverage this weekend.

Meh, I dont hate the guy I'm just more interested in Burns and Little. They should affect the coming season more if everything is going well with Cam. Hopefully Grier will give us a good idea where he actually is as a player and what we can expect from him as far as contributing if its worst case scenario time.

This is going to be a cluster fug of a preseason; every bad throw Cam makes will be taken out of context, expanded upon and be broken down to the smallest detail. While, everygood throw Grier will be as if God himself made the throw. 

 

Cam can take care of that himself, just by being able to throw an out route.

If possible, go to camp in July/August and make your own observations. There’s very little of substance you can’t see that the media can, assuming you understand what you’re looking at.

If you can’t make it to camp, digest content with some level of caution.

Honestly, this is fine.  It's pretty clear Cam isn't "scared" or "concerned" about Will Grier.  We shouldn't be either.  We should hope that Will Grier becomes a solid NFL starter.  He's on our team, he's ours, the better he is, the better we are whether that's by flipping him for high picks later or because he takes over for Cam at some point.  As Panther fans, we should be 100% behind the idea of Will Grier being amazing.

Preach!  Very well said. Thanks!

It'll be nice to see, but it won't prove anything. Remember, he could do that in Week 6. Shoot, I think he threw a deep out early in the Tampa game.

Cam obviously had issues throwing but looking at next gen stats he completed a 30 yard  air yards pass in all but one of those games after the issue started.

It doesnt help when people say things like "literally couldn't throw the ball 30 yards" when he actually was.  

I expect his shoulder to be just fine.

I seen him throw 30 yd passes but they looked like poo or got intercepted. He was crap after Pittsburgh game. He got hurt on the TJ Watt hit because our oline was garbage. It our oline plays like that again any qb will look terrible.

Ok. My point was people use the word literally when they dont mean literally.

Our online gave up the six fewest sacks and 12 fewest qb hits . Both better than average and not garbage at all. That's the best we've been in a while . Hopefully that improves more

Me too. But it isn't exactly easy to make any real observations on the DL and OL when contact is not allowed. 

I understand and dont expect to hear much on those two until later. Thanks for getting what you can!

    • Meh. He played well on the special teams units but despite safety becoming a dire position we needed a warm body at, he was a complete non-factor on defense to justify keeping him around. He averaged 10.2 defensive snaps per game across 12 games last year and couldn't overtake Howden or Abram for the position (both of whom were brought back this year). Maybe he'll play better at CB for y'all but I wouldn't hold out much hope. As mid of a head coach Allen may be, he knows his stuff regarding the secondary so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on it.
    • couple more things re: extreme hots and colds and the EV use tax. In the winter months, I can confirm that the range isn't as far, but it has never given me range anxiety except the first time I made a trip to Myrtle Beach and wasn't accounting for it. I just had to detour and use a Supercharger for 5 min and the rest of the trip was no issue. Summer months have never been an issue at all.  NC has a $140.25 EV Registration fee every year, which amounts to the gas/use tax for ICE.        
    • Just seeing this thread, and after browsing, I figured I would drop in and add my 2 cents. I hope this answers some of the questions or misconceptions that I have noticed.   I have owned a 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus since Dec 2020, and love it. Absolute best car I have ever personally owned.  Current daily driver of 100 miles round trip to work and back.  Level 2 Charger at home in Garage.   The battery in my car was still designed to charge to ~80% for daily usage, only going above for trips etc preferably. The current batteries they recommend to charge to 100%.   1st year was in an apartment, 40 miles round trip at that point. Would highly depend on public level 2 charger at the library near me, and would also use 110v at work occasionally on weekends. Supercharger for travel. It wasn’t the most optimal, but I made it work. No maintenance in this year outside of tire rotations.   Years 2+, I am now driving 100 miles round trip to work. Level 2 charger in my garage.  I get home from work at ~25% charge, and charge back to my daily 80% in ~3.5hrs. On 110v, you can expect that will be over 24hrs. So for daily driver usage you will want a level 2 charger. For piddling around town, 110v will probably be fine. I had a part fail that was covered under warranty, and tire replacement/rotations for maintenance.     Tires: I have 99k+ miles on my car currently. I will put my 2nd set of tires on it at ~110k.   When I have had people ask me how I like my car, I always show them these 2 pages from the Tesla app. The numbers there are based on what I pay for kWh ($0.11) vs est cost of gas in NC at $3.93 per gallon. People who are concerned about the higher cost vs ICE probably don’t figure in the gas savings, or time/cost getting oil changes etc.  My car payment isn’t that much higher than any other car I’ve owned (shrug).   I know this is personal, and I don’t like the guy either, but I would not let Musk keep me from owning the brand. Thats like Henry Ford keeping you from owning Ford for, well….   Tesla currently have the best charging infrastructure for travel. Longest trip I have made is to Williamsburg VA from Triangle region. No issues getting there, no range anxiety etc. Sure stops can take longer for charging etc, but they are mostly setup at restaurants, gas stations etc for breaks, but ideally you’re not charging back to full at a stop. The best way to travel is to charge enough for you to get to the next stop. It’s faster at the batteries get juice faster when they are lower.  I have never seen another brand using Tesla superchargers tho I have heard it’s coming. But I have seen assholes pull their boats horizontally in charging stations 😉   If you are curious about how an EV would play into travel, check out https://abetterrouteplanner.com . Put in any EV you want, it will show you the path, time and time per charge etc. Great tool.
