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 there on Wednesday and I wanted to watch Fitzpatrick just to see how "horrible" he was doing.
I'll be honest with you, he looked sharp to me. He was throwing high velocity throws and putting them where he had to. I'm pretty sure he hit a deep TD in 11 on 11 as well.
The guy just got here, he's learning a new offense. Give him a little time. I think he's a solid choice as backup QB.
I agree. It's really too early to get way up, or way down, on anyone, particularly someone (rookie, FA, etc.) new to the organizarion.
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?
I read a few reports saying Wednesday was his best day.
Lets just hope his struggles are due to learning the offense
It is. The guy played some very good ball down the stretch with one of the worst teams in the league last year and that was with OC pretty much just showing up to work and playing decoy.
I would probably feel more comfortable with a Griese or Garcia, but I think Fitzpatrick has had enough success in this league to be a relible backup.

I remember watching the eagles game last year and seeing Fitzy go toe to toe against a great D. He was very gritty that game and played well despite his stat line not showing it.

IMO, Fitz is actually a better fit for this offense and a better game manager than those two. We have the playmakers on this side of the ball now so we don't need a couple of poor man Farve's making bad decisions trying to win the game all by themselves. I wouldn't mind so much Griese but I've never liked Garcia. He loses as many games as he tries to win. You love to have a QB with a killer instinct like Farve or Kelly but it's worthless if the QB doesn't have the talent or the control to keep himself in check.

Garcia would of been the best fit. He is a fighter for the starting role and it would have given Trent a big push. Garcia has proven over and over he can win games when it is soley up to the QB. I think he will get the starting job in Oakland over Russel at somepoint this season.
