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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Ryan "Stonefoot" Mallett impresses with his arm, not his feet
Today's Arkansas Pro Day confirmed what everyone already knew about Ryan Mallett: He runs like an offensive lineman, and he throws like Nolan Ryan.
Not much of a surprise here. Ryan has a great arm, but if your looking for a mobile QB, this guy may make Drew Bledsoe look like Tim Tebow. He ran a 5.37 reportedly.
Re: Ryan "Stonefoot" Mallett impresses with his arm, not his feet
He's the most NFL ready QB in this draft. His touch is incredible. Brady ran a 5.23 at his combine. Bledsoe ran a 4.7. Who would you say has better pocket presence? It's a no brainer, Brady. Bledsoe stood around, patting the ball, focused down field the whole time. Mallett has better pocket awareness than Bledsoe. He knows when he is in trouble, and makes a good move or two, like Brady. Sure, your going to have to protect Mallett a little better than most QB's, but he has a quick sling, and makes tremendous passes. I could be wrong, but I believe he's going to make a team pretty happy.

The white Michael Vick, JP Losman played like crap being fast.
Exactly. Pocket presence and speed are 2 totally different things. Brady's 40 sucked, but he is up there with the best at avoiding the pressure. As long as Mallett has the desire to be great, he has an enormous amount of talent in that arm of his, and he will flurish. He has a rocket, and throws seeds. I would love him with our 2nd pick, but there is no way he would last that long.

You obviously never watched the guy play.

Re: Ryan "Stonefoot" Mallett impresses with his arm, not his feet
How many times are QBs involved in foot races anyways? I'd rather have a player with good game speed than foot speed. If he can dominate a pocket rather than rolling out every play it wouldnt be a burden on my shoulders

As I said in my OP, Mallett's ability to run isn't where I'm concerned.

It's a different game now though than when Marino played. Now, QBs almost have to be mobile to get passes off because of the speed of defenses in general which are a lot quicker than they were in Marino's days. JMO
