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!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

I really thought about it and in reality, regardless of how good someone might seem to be in the draft, a currently good player in the NFL is just that. You never know what if any problems will come up money, fame and / or injuries but current NFL players are there and established. I prefer that we fill our holes with Turner / Briggs and still have a few day one picks. I just feel the odds are better.
i actually would prefer turner to both of the 1st round running backs.. then i would like to see us take lorenzo booker on day two to be the 3rd down guy.
i would actually take willis over briggs though.
willis can play middle linebacker and crowell can go to strong side..
but if we trade for a guy like briggs, then we will have a guy that plays weak side linebacker.. then ellison, who is a weak side guy as well.. and crowell at either strong or middle.
so trading for briggs doesnt solve our linebacker situation.. he is just a replacement for ellison, which is the least of our concerns..

I personally think that this is a bad year to be rebuilding through the draft. This is a pretty weak draft, I think if we can land a big time player like Briggs we need to do it.

He is a great player & we could use him back there.
I'm a little more of a gambler. Draft picks can go bust, but they can also become big stars. I think most of our key players during our SB years came via the draft, with a few free agents and trades sprinkled in.
Briggs is a good 'backer, but Willis might be better. Turner is unproven as a feature back. I'd like to see us roll the dice on 4 of the top 100 players on day one.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

We've been rolling the dice for 10 years and got no dice. TD liked rolling the dice as well.
Often 'proven' players only prosper in certain environments. Will Briggs continue to prosper without Urlacher ... are his stats inflated by teams unwilling to take on BC? Will Turner be a great RB or the next Lamont Jordan, mopping up after a true great RB and unable to carry the load on their own?
With a rookie, with proper attention to character in the scouting, you get someone hungry to start and prove themselves, not more interested in renegotaiting their pay packet.
I'd like Willis and Leonard but I'd take Posluzny and Leonard over Briggs and Turner in R1 & R2
