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

Wow, you really ARE low on Clausen. Not even in the top 10! That's crazy
He has the highest bust potential of all QB's in this draft, and is the biggest risk for where his value is. From what I saw at Notre Dame Im relatively convinced that he has a good shot to not make it in the NFL.

Wow. You really hate Clausen
Now to address the idea that I "hate" a prospect...1st off that's not true, I dont hate any prospect. I dont like Jimmy Clausen as a NFL QB prospect, I dont think that he showed enough at Notre Dame to warrant his selection and me not including him in my top 10 is two fold, one I like the potential ceilings on the other guys a lot more, and Id like to introduce a few more names to the fold that nobody else is even considering. The QB class does not end after the names; Bradford, Clausen, Tebow, and McCoy.
I actually wrote a very good and fair report of Clausen for BSD, in case you missed it, here is the report:

I can respect this but what did you watch that brought you to this opinion?
He played very well in most games last year.
Is it size?
Arm strength?
Release point?
Ability to read defense?
So much so that you have him rated lower than player like kafka, hiller, and Mckoy for that matter?

I watched his games, my critiques are laid out in the report I posted a link to;
Weaknesses:
If Clausen has one big issue with his game it’s his performance in pressure packed games. This was an issue his entire collegiate career. Poor decisions early usually led to costly turnovers and he worked hard with Charlie Weiss to learn it was ok to throw the ball away. He showed improvement last year but still demonstrates too much a tendency to throw the ball up for grabs.
He got away with it at Notre Dame in large part to having All-American wide receiver Golden Tate, a talented Michael Floyd and tight end Kyle Rudolph. It won’t work in the NFL when facing defenses far better than the players that he saw in South Bend.
Another concern is he was on the losing stick of too many games in college, not accepting for a notorious program like Notre Dame, though the plethora of loses were anything but just his fault.
Lastly there’s a toe injury that required surgery just weeks ago. Clausen missed a game and time in others due to this turf toe injury on his lead foot. He’ll need to pass a battery of medical exams starting at the NFL combine and at his pro day.
And he's not ranked lower than McCoy, Kafka, or Hiller. This was a wish list request not a rankings, in my rankings he is the #2 Rated QB. Because of where his skill set is at this time as compared to other QB's. I like others better on a potential basis, but they are not currently better. See the difference?
COMING SOON...
