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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Stupid speculation...To think that the Titans would just let him become a free-agent is beyond stupid.

Young is due to collect a $4.25 million roster bonus on March 10 and is scheduled to make $7.25 million base salary in 2010. He’s scheduled to make $8.5 million in 2011.
“He’d love an extension,’’ Adams said. “I am pretty sure it is possible at some point. But we haven’t had any discussion about the contract. Everything is speculation right now. So I think it will probably stay as is for now and we’ll just see what happens.’’
Titans General Manager Mike Reinfeldt was unavailable for comment.
Young is scheduled to count $14.2 million against the salary cap in 2010, but since the season is probably going to be uncapped, that figure is not especially significant. In 2011 his cap number is scheduled to be $15.2 million. A new contract could lower those numbers.

In a league where QB's are so valuable, I am wondering, why the hell would Tennessee let the guy that took them from zero wins to playoff contention?
If I remember correctly, Fisher didn't even want to play Young, but Adams made him. That would be owner, or the guy that writes the checks. If he felt so strongly about Young, and VY then made his team playoff contenders, do you really think he would watch him walk out the door? With nothing in return?
I would love to have Young. Young is developing into a premier QB in this league. If he had an offense built to his strengths, he would be a premier QB. That's my opinion, I am sure because he is quick, there will be several people bashing him. Because you aren't a good QB if you're not a statue.
The 'problem' with Young, is the same one you have with Vick. You have to create the offense around their unique skillsets. Young does have age on his side, Vick doesn't.
The difficulty you then get into, is that you have to be certain that Young will be the guy who can win it all for you. If he's not, you will probably have to change everything again on offence, after a few years, certainly scheme wise.
I think Gailey could do quite a bit of good with Young, but he needs to be in a team that already has a good defense. We haven't got that, and with all the change coming, who knows when we will.
Like Vick, Young is no sort of long term solution to the Bills lack of success, and imho would not be worth having when we are in the midst of rebuilding.
What we need, are schemes that structures in place, that can suit more, not less, players, going forward.

This isn't true. Young has developed as a passer, and if you watched him last year you saw a guy comfortable in the pocket who could make the throws. He isn't just a runner.
I'm not sure how you think Young will be released. The owner already said they are going to pay his roster bonus this year and will return. You must be reading articles from last year.
I would take Young in a second. Hes always been a gamer. I HATED the way he snatch a win a Buff a few years ago when we should have had it but he found a way to sneak it in on a long TD run.... This would be better than getting an aging McNabb or spending a high pick on an unproved, IMO. Give the guy some money and take a flier if we have the chance... cant pass him up!
Why are we so sure that Gailey likes "mobile QBs?" He has had success with Tomczak, Fiedler and a very immobile Aikman, as well as Stewart, in the NFL.
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?
