All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Even the media recognizes that Losman has made some strides. Wether that translates to better play this year remains to be seen. Right now, I would take JP over about 2/3 of the other starters.
kinda hard for me to not laugh at anyone that has Pitts QB situation up near the top really. They are a very good football team. Nothing spectacular at QB just functional plus big Ben had his motorcycle accident and now appendectimy. The media is just looking to sell papers by telling people what they want to hear 80% of the time.
I am not even mad about the 32nd rating. To this point our QBs have proved nothing. I just don't like the rookie rating system. What is he talking about?
I dont read articles from writers who look like that schmuck. Take at least one snap in life before you write about crap you dont know.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

someone came up with a projection system that uses college stats to predict NFL success. Apparently they plugged Losman's numbers in and didn't like how it came out.
Of course, it proves nothing- if it did, NFL GM's would be paying them lots of money for it instead of ignoring it.
I will beat that guy for unresponsible journalism (or at least attemtpting it - I think you should have some credibility first), that guy clearly hasn't observed that our starters have held their own this preseason, that we've gotten better each game, and that we can score from anywhere on the field - being an underdog makes victories much more satisfying though. Unfortunately you get to read a lot of BS like this when you are the underdog.
I attribute this to safe journalism! These guys are afraid to look foolish so they just follow the herd. The consensus is that our QBs will be bad so this is what you get. I would be willing to bet this guy didn't even watch one of our preseason games this year.
