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

WIth Chad about to get released, where do you think he ends up?
Obviously, it isn't going to be Buffalo unless we were to cut/trade Losman. I'd like some thoughts on that.
I got him pegged for three teams.. Minnesota or Chicago if he wants a chance to start.. if he ends up having to take a backup role, I think it's clearly New England.
I am more concerned about the market for JP now. With Pennington now an FA, if a QB goes down in camp, would Pennington be the easy fix or is Losman that much better (potentially?) than Pennington to warrant trading for JP?
But to answer your question, I cant see NE rolling the dice on Chad, at least not at this time. They seem to be high on their 3rd stringer over Cassells so signing Chad would only serve as a detriment. They dont need inside info on the Jets as they probably still have the videotapes :)
I cant see him starting in Minny. They are too high on Jackson. Chicago is definately a possibility as is the Panthers if DelHomme does not return to form.

I honestly dont think there was a market for Losman to begin with.. I'd bet Buffalo explored trading him when he said he wanted out this offseason.. and I definitely don't think they'd trade him this late into the summer.
The only scenario I could see if his thumb gets any worse; that may facilitate the need for the Bills to get a good backup.
Personally, I would love if NE brought in Pennington. I always felt the guy was underrated as a QB. Granted, his lack of arm strength limits the field somewhat, as he struggles with throws outside the numbers.
However, you can win with the guy. He is a great game manager, accurate on his throws and has great timing on his passes. If he had a stronger arm he would be a superstar, but as it is he is a reliable QB you can win with, and what more would you want in a backup?

If a starter went down, i think there could have been a market for Losman. despite his downfalls, I think he can still be a serviceable QB and maybe a 1 year transition QB to some teams that have a youngster in the wings. Like Dilfer with the Ravens
I would love for him to come to Miami. Cut John Beck! The guy simply wins games. I don't give a crap about how he floats the ball, he's pinpoint accurate, and gives this team the best chance to win. He'll also provide a veteran to help Henne. I think Pennigton could also cut down on Henne's gunslinger mentality.
wonder if the bucs have interest in pennington. pennington could probably do better in a dome stadium and warm weather than say chicago.
But last year, his arm looked the weakest it's every been. He literally had no zip on the ball and t he DB's just salivated everytime he threw that out pattern.
Losman still has more upside to Pennington since pennington's two surgery's have left him completely weak armed. Losman's value is much lower than pennington's though. Why? Pennington is credited as a smart QB with little talent. if you were desperate and needed an Emergency QB, i'd take the guy who could learn the plays in a few days over the guy who has never been able to grasp a system. If it was April May, Losman has the higher value because you could argue that you can reach him.
