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!
This is only a test
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 did some research on this guy and he was a track start at Wisc, ran under a 4.4 is 6'3 225 pounds.
I did not see anything from the preseason and was wondering if anyone here knew anything about him or if he could develop and maybe make the roster next year.
We definitely added him late in the game. Don't know much about him from the other teams he's been on, except he must not have stood out. This probably means he's got a decent shot to start next year for us.
I wouldn't hold my breath- track stars tend to be epic failures in the NFL.
Thanks, bro...I read DF's post and immediately held my breath...
He has to be able to be serviceable in some way...****, Gump ran back kicks.
I thought this was interesting:
From NFL.com Combine Profiles
In Our View: Blessed with tremendous size, athletic ability and natural gifts, Hubbard has work to do in order to shed the "track guy playing football" label. His injury-laden senior season didn't help, and Hubbard didn't stand out at the East-West Shrine practices. He does have upside and, in the right offense, would benefit from being broken in slowly.
A slow break in...we should be able to accommodate that. Take your time, bro...we're currently in the middle of the eternal rebuild. You've got 3 years.
On second thought... many fans are pretty sure the rebuild is an epic failure after 4 weeks, so we are going to need 10 catches out of you this weekend, or you get the **** out.

Ummm, wasn't Spiller a track star?

I recall seeing somewhere, that while he has tremendous athletic ability, both his route running, and hands, leave a lot to be desired.
Will make a terrific catch one moment, then drop two regulation ones, that sort of thing.
If he improves his catching, he might be somewhat better off having landed with us, as from the sounds of it, Gailey is very hot on having his receivers run precise routes.
I just hope they don't waste too much time on him, although with the athletic ability he has, he could end up being something of a 'sleeper'.
A good example of waiting on a WR is Danny Amendola in St. Louis! I remember him being on Hard Knocks when the Cowboys were featured, and he bounced around too! He incidently had a hightlight moment last week on a catch he made off of a throw from super rookie Sam Bradford. Just saying.....
A project player. You stash a guy like that on your PS because he's got great measurables, and you hope you can turn him into a football player. The odds are against it just because most guys like that never do cut it, but there is always a chance.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
