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!
On sirius this afternoon, BOTH Pat Kirwin and Tim Ryan said that they've been hearing that the Panthers are not a lock to take Luck. pat said that the owner doesn't want to spend #1 QB money, and that he may be inclined to push the new coach to build around Clausen.
sounds crazy to me too, but just thought I'd pass it along.
Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?
The owner of the Panthers is going to have to write a $ 50 million cheque regardless of what position the No.1 overall is so the Panthers might as well go ahead and take Luck...The only way the Panthers owner saves money is if the Panthers trade down..
the chances of the bills picking #2, with luck coming out, and carolina passing on him is the kind of dumb luck only the patriots could have....no way we're this lucky.
i think buffalo used its one miracle per decade on the sabres new ownership anyways

I will not be surprised if Tebow has more success than Peyton in the NFL.

That's not entirely the case. Even though they are drafting number one no matter what it would cost more to sign a QB with that pick then it would to sign other positions. It's just the nature of the draft. The QB's demand much more money then a LB or RB would cost, etc.
The rookies are way to overpaid and this needs to be addressed in the next CBA. Rookies shouldn't be stepping into the NFL without ever proving themselves first and being the highest paid players at their positions. It's ******ed economics and it's also not fair to veterans who proved themselves. I would imagine it doesn't create a very good environment in the lockerroom either. Especially if that player is a big time bust.
The worst teams in the league should be looking forward to having that higher pick to try and improve their team and not be looking at it as a detriment. It's especially horrible in the Top 5. There is a reason why teams have trouble trading down from them positions. It's because not many teams are willing to take on that extra money.
You figure if you are drafting 9th you can pick a player for about 6 million a year on average. If you are drafting 4th you are looking at about 10 million and it only goes up from there.

Either way, I'll take the #2 pick. If Luck is there, we are set at QB. If not, we have the 2nd best defensive player in the draft (at worst). For the first time this season, I am not rooting for us to win. This may require not even watching the game.
I could def seeing Carolina trading down out of 1st pick, if I remember right doesn't the Pats have their only round 2 pick? they have alot of holes to fill and need as many picks as they can, like the bills.
