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!

Maddox's unexpected rise still surprising

Entering his second season as the Steelers' starting quarterback, Tommy Maddox's rise from professional oblivion to stardom in the NFL continues to almost defy description.

"You watch him from behind him in practice, and he makes throws and you're like, 'there's no way the ball's going to get through,' and then, the receiver runs right to it, and you're like 'wow,'" wide receiver Plaxico Burress said.

That about sums it up.

Maddox supplanted Kordell Stewart as the Steelers' starter a season ago and broke a Steelers record with 473 yards passing against Atlanta, one that had been established by Bobby Layne

Perhaps the late blooming of Maddox means there's still hope for Rob Johnson. But probably not.

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?

Todd, can you imagine how much money this guy has made for doing almost nothing? Incredible.

Todd and Rob are simply living proof that there are not nearly enough mediocre QB's to go around.
