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 found it odd that Ruben Brown has made the Pro Bowl 7 straight years but he was not even on the top 100 list. Also, IMO Moulds should be on that list.
I don't know how Hines Ward can make the list and not Moulds. Last year was Moulds worst since '97, but he still had 67 catches for 904 yards and 5 TD's. Ward's best year ever was last year and he didn't put up much better #'s (94-1003-4) and when you considering the differences between the two offenses in running game, OL, and QB play, that isn't really much better at all.
I don't think RB not making the list was a slight. The only 2 guards that made the list are Larry Allen, who is arguably the greatest OL in the history of the game, and Alan Faneca, who started for the AFC last year. How could you bump either for RB? Personally, I would have had Will Shields ahead of Faneca, but that still doesn't leave room for RB.
IMO, and the author seems to agree, the main reason that RB didn't make the list is that guard is one of the least important positions on the team (after punter and kicker - notice neither Vandergajt nor Elam made the team). Like punter and kicker, as long as your gaurds aren't horrible, they don't have a huge impact on the game (unlike other positions like QB or RB, or even the more important C and LT positions on the OL). Teams go far because their OL as a whole is good, not because of the abilities of a single guard. Another way to think of it is this, if you were to start building a team for this season only and had 1st choice of anyone in the NFL, how far down the chart would you place RB? I agree with the author in that there's at least 100 people I'd rather choose before RB.
