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 was just having a talk with a co-worker and we were talking about the daunting task of a rookie QB taking his team from dead last to a superbowl. We could only think of 3 in NFL history.

Peyton Manning
Eli Manning
Can you think of anymore players who turned the worst team around the year before and brought them to a Super Bowl?
Elway we thought of but he was drafted by Baltimore not Denver.
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.

people always forget he had the benefit of first and second round talent at virtually every position as a result of the historic herschel walker trade fiasco as well as the girls own high picks from sucking out loud for several years prior
he had every advantage possible on what i consider to be the best nfl team ever. somebody please kill me now
you coulda put rob johnson behind center for that team and he woulda gone to probowls for half a decade
another example of the buffalo curse - we get one of the best teams ever and it just happens to be when the absolute best team ever comes of age
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?
perhaps but bledsoe is a borderline hofer and would have been every bit as good on that team, while aikman is a first time balloter so he clearly gets the alltime overrated nod in my book

Career wise Bledsoe basically played 6 games more than Aikman and threw for more than 12,000yard and about 90TD's

I don't know if you technically can include Eli Manning, since the Giants traded for him. San Diego had the first pick and took him. If you include him, you have to include John Elway.
Also, why restrict it to QB, why not all #1 overall picks? For instance, wouldn't Orlando Pace qualify? Or Irving Fryar in the Pats first Super Bowl? Or Bruce Smith?

Good point, but the conversation started about how Matt Ryan is lucky the fins didnt take him. So that was just the mind set, you're right about Eli though.

So, I guess you throw out Elway for the same reason.
