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!
IMO Evans breaks out. He's been good, and under completely different circumstances he'd have been among the top 5-7 now IMO.
I agree with you on Lynch and Poz although I'm expecting Poz to have the better year.
Many seem to think that Lynch has this home-run potential. I simply didn't see it although his fundamentals are excellent for the most part. But his TDs last season at Cal were for 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 5, 8, 15, 17, 22, and 71 yards. The latter three were vs. Washington, a terrible team last year, and Portland St., a division I-AA school, respectively. So where this notion comes from that he's a "home run threat" escapes me.
Nevertheless, I expect him to be a solid decent ball-carrier with performances largely tied to his blocking.
I can see Whitner and/or Simpson breaking out. I don't see much else however. Dockery is what he is. Peters seems to be struggling quite a bit this preseason so perhaps our largely consistent opinions on him may be a little bit too lofty. TBD there.
He may not be fantasy favorite, but I expect that anyone with knowlege will come to the same conclusion we have about the guy.
He may not be a favorite now, but he could be next year.
Too much for him hinges on Losman taking his game to the next level. JP doesn't have to be Brady or Manning, but he will have to find a decent short game and improve overall. Otherwise the perceptions of Evans will match his numbers which may not be as good as they otherwise would be if he were on a team with a more balanced O and a better QB.
I don't agree with you very often TD, but I was just thinking the same thing. While he was a bit inconsistant last season, his numbers speak for themselves. I would hope that Evans is already considered an elite receiver by most.
also, I wouldn't say I expect this to happen, but I'm really hoping Crowell establishes himself this year. He's been a solid contributor for us but hasn't done anything spectacular- I'd really like to see him take it to the next level.
I cannot believe Im saying this, and I will probably feel like a bigger ****** than I already am when I see the stats after week 17 and he has his typical 36 catches for 480 yards and 3 TDs.
But after all this time, I think Josh Reed is going to be the guy to have a breakout season.
I dont say Whitner because when you're the 8th pick in the draft you SHOULD breakout in your second season as a starter.
And I dont know what planet anyone is from that doesnt think Evans isnt already a star. I talk to fans and writers from all over the place and I havent talked to one person who wouldn't go nuts to have him on their team. I understand what your saying in terms of being a bit overshadowed by the bigger named WR's right now, but this guy is already a star and he "broke out" last year big time.
Donte Whiter...he looks ready to become a star. He shows a very good nose for the ball and is a tough hitter. He's also very good at coverage. Now that they are taking the training wheels off, I have a feeling that he will excel and so will Ko Simpson
Keith Ellison...One of the best players in camp this year. He also has a nose for the ball and has been an interception machine in camp. I could see him piling up 100 tackles easily. A definitely sleeper!
Roscoe Parrish...Always making the amazing catches in camp and JP Losman has really become comfortable with him. I could see him being our Don Beebe in the offense.
Lee Evans....Everyone knows it. He will be one of the top 5 receivers in the league and if you watch fantasy drafts, people believe it there too. I see him outdoing last year and having 10-12 TDs, along with at least 1,600 receiving yards.
