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 mean its likely that Spiller will start for the Fins with Fred just coming back from injury, IMO. And Spiller has shown he can be special. His blocking needs work, but has Spiller shown enough to become the starter?
If he starts the Fins game, as I predict, and plays well by making a few big plays and a TD or two... He may just own that starting job and not look back.
Another hypothetical, IF Spiller takes over the starting spot, and one of our other two back has to get traded....who do you keep? Fred J who has great balance and vision to make something out of nothing (but getting older) or Marshawn, the one that can pound the rock into the endzone at the goalline?

I think Marshawn has better trade value due to his age vs. Jacksons age. Jackson has been a success story for us and a good guy both on and off the field. Yet Lynch has had all the issues. I would move Lynch. Im still not convinced we move anyone.

I don't really care who is on the field for the first play...I do know I don't want Spiller touching the ball more than 250-270 times this season. 14 to 17 touches between rushing and receiving should be fine.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
I have no problem keeping all three. I doubt both Lynch and Jackson will both come back without any lingering issues. I agree with Eb. We dont want Spiller touching the ball 25-30 times a game. He will burn out. I like a 50-50 split. I think if Lynch has his head back in the game he would be a great compliment back for Spiller since since Lynch can punish defenders and soften up for Spiller to break one.
to answer the question, yes. i want fred jackson to start still. he's earned it. spiller will be great, and he'll be a big part of our future, but this is still jackson's time.
Three guys (or more) are going to rotate in and out of that position so the term "Starter" doesn't mean much imo. It's not like the QB or an OL position in which the "Starter" barring injury is there for the duration.
But if you mean who gets the most carries, then it definately should not be Spiller. If anything use him sparingly if at all for the first quarter/ quarter and a half while the D is getting softened up/ fatigued by getting thumped on by FreJack and Lynch...and then unleash the Roadrunner...meep meep.
