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

But I think Brian Brohm has the same chance of success or busting as Jimmy Clausen. We already have Brohm on the roster. Therefore draft the Kindle, Dan Williams, Baluga, or Spiller. I prefer passing on Williams because at 9 that is a huge stretch. Williams should go 20-30. If Okung drops that would be super!
Re: Why draft Clausen when Brohm has same potential
If Clausen is there at 9, I would seriously be pissed if he wasn't the pick. If that scenario happens, that means 3 or 4 tackles have already been taken, and I don't want the 4th best tackle at pick 9...that's just crazy.
Clausen, Bryant, Spiller are all playmakers that this offense needs. But the NT position is so important, it's hard to know what the FO feels about the guys they have. With the signing of Edwards, I can now see them bypassing Dan Williams at 9. Stroud can definitely play the nose, but he doesn't want to. Boo hoo. Get your ass in there and take your beating so our LB's can make the plays.

How do you figure that?
Brohm has already had a shot and failed. Certainly he could succeed, but that is highly unlikely.
And I do NOT want Clausen, but the potential of each is not equal.
I don't think Brohm has really had a shot yet. The Packers already had Rodgers when he was drafted. The Pack decided to only carry two QB's on the roster & felt the other guy was more prepared for the back up spot than Brohm, but that does not mean they felt he was a bust.
The Packers wanted to keep him when the Bills took him. I think he has as good a chance as anyone on the roster or a draft pick to be the starter next year.

Re: Why draft Clausen when Brohm has same potential
Tony Pike or Colt McCoy and Dan LeFevour are options in Round 2 as well, because Bradford, Clausen and Tebow will all be gone by the time we are on the clock in Round 2.

He has had 1 career start. He was drafted as Aaron Rodgers back up.
Once again, how do you figure that someone who was drafted to back up a back up and never cracked an NFL roster has the same potential as someone who put up huge college stats and is projected to go early in the first round?
I'm with Lecter- I don't want Clausen to be the pick at 9, but his potential is far greater than Brohm's at this point.
Re: Why draft Clausen when Brohm has same potential
Firstly I'd like to say, if we draft Clausen, I have zero faith in our organization. The guy is going to have a career like Tim Couch.
Secondly, Brohm has never gotten a chance. He's never been in a QB battle. He's never been told, "Hey Brian, the job is up for grabs". He came into the Packers organization behind Aaron Rodgers, who IMO will win a Superbowl one day. He never got a chance to start. Now that he's with us, he has that chance. I'm not saying he's going to turn out to be Tom Brady, but if he can beat out Trent and Fitz (wich shouldn't be that tough), then we can say he's gotten his chance.
To me it seems the Bills are going the NYJ route this year. Wer'e going to pound the rock, and play solid D. I'd build our D through the draft this year, and somehow try to fill the LT gap in the 2nd round.

Brohm was still drafted in first round. GB took him to be QB of future and security if Aaron couldn't handle job. Aaron handled the job perfectly. Also Brohm had a very successful college career. Don't make it out like he was Jevon Snead 2009.
