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

Re: Question for those who really want Newton at #3

I'll take him in the 6th also.
I'd even take him in the 5th.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Too much risk for me. His showboating personality is scaring me off big time. Maybe it's not a fair comparison, but I fear that raining money in a strip club might be in his future.

some people don't seem to realize that our need for a QB doesn't necessarily make one available.
Would totally love to have seen your opinion on whether there was Franchise QB available the year Rodgers was drafted.
All I'm saying, is let's not pretend that we have a crystal ball and know if a guy coming out is going to be good or not. That type of talk is so freakin' annoying.

There's a risk with any QB taken in the 1st round. GM's take this risk because the reward can change an entire franchise around.

nobody knows if anyone coming out of the draft at any position will be good. That being said:
1) We are under a lot of pressure to get the #3 pick right. Years of blowing high draft picks have created a mess and we need to start digging ourselves out NOW.
2) QB is the least predictable position.
3) None of the QB's in this draft are the prototypical QB that is most likely to have NFL success.
So, given the situation we are in and the situation with the QB's in this draft, I think taking one at #3 is a risk we simply can't afford to take.
Re: Question for those who really want Newton at #3
i think the bills still have so many holes that if we fill defensive needs first, we still probably are picking high next year to find a mroe of a sure thing QB.
