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

Because Evans has never been, and never will be a #1 receiver in the NFL. He's a great #2, but thats it. Kind of a 1 trick pony too, take away the long ball and take him away.
Evans is the easiest "No. 1" receiver to stop. There's no other receiver a defense has to worry about, and he's not good enough to beat extra attention.

Or... he's yet to be paired with a good and consistent QB to throw him the ball.
i think evans can be more than a 1 trick pony deep threat, he can work the middle of the field as well as almost anyone...he's just never had the consistent QB play...and im just guessing but if u look at our QB's stats for the same games they're probably just as bad/worse...i mean we haven't beat them in 10 tries..

I will not be surprised if Tebow has more success than Peyton in the NFL.
I think if Lee was in Indy, Arizona, or even Cincy, he would be blowing it up! He is one of the last WRs in the league a DB wants to be put on an island with.

I went to one game this year. The Cleveland game. He was wwiiiiddee open most of the game. He ended with zero catches, and zero balls thrown his way. I think the opposite WR has a lot to do with it, but it is mostly the QB. You don't get that view on TV.

Lee Evans simply isn't as good as people around here like/want to think he is.
Would be a great complimentary WR but he's a weak number 1.
For anyone who says "oh it's the QB that limits his ability and production" go look at Kevin Johnson's stats from Tim Couch throwing him the ball, look at Roddy Whites stats from a plethora of garbage QBs throwing him the ball last year, look at Andre Johnson's stats from when David Carr threw him the ball.
Unless you're willing to make the argument that Chris Redman, Joey Harrington, Tim Couch and David Carr are better than Trent and/or JP...the argument that it's the QB that limits Lee's productivity holds no water.
You know Callahan was an offensive mind, and Juaron is supposed to be a defensive one, right?
Funtimes, were you at the Browns game? TE was afraid to throw over 5 yards. I'm pretty sure a speed/deep threat WR is going to have suffering numbers if the QB is afraid to throw over 5 yards.
Oh, and who was opposite Rice? Oh, and you did say JERRY RICE, right? You know Callahan took them to the SUPER BOWL, right?

It was Gannon's second to last season, he played like garbage.
1274 yards 6 TDs 4 INTs in 7 games.
It was Jerry Rice and Tim Brown...Tim was 37 and played one more year after that.
I was replying to the the post that said Jerry Rice wouldn't be able to put up numbers during his prime with the QBs, coaching, etc here. I used what he did as a 41 year old on an even worse team to disprove it.
Bill Callahan for being such an offensive mind went a whopping 4-12 that season too and hasn't coached in the NFL since.
So you use one game, the Browns game, to say that Lee is getting a raw deal?
He's had over 60 catches in a season ONCE in his entire career. Now if he gets 2 catches Sunday he'll have a 2nd 60+ catch year but still.
For such an "elite" guy, he averages 58 catches a year for 930 yards and 6 TDs.
You can find average WRs in the league who do that. Carl Pickens did that back with the Bengals in the 90's when they weren't very good. Al Toon did that back with the Jets in the 80s-90s. Eddie Kennison was just under that pace for his career.
Bill Callahn went to a SB. Rice with the Raiders had a WR by the name of Tim Brown playing opposite of him. Ever hear of him ?
You're right. Bad comparison
A reach of epic proportions.
A reach?
Bill Callahan was 4-12 that year. Brown retired after the following season. He was 37. Rick Mirer started half the season.
Jerry Rice in his second season with Jeff Kemp and Mike Moroski starting half the games for an injured Joe Montana broke out with 86 catches for 1500 yards. By the way, that season was Joe Montana's worst season as a pro too.
Meanwhile that was the 49er team that got spanked in the divisonal round by the Giants 49-3.
Is that a reach too? Are Jeff Kemp and Mike Moroski great QBs? Does Joe Montana throwing more picks than TDs not matter? BTW only time in Joe's career he threw more INTs than TDs in a season too.
