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

RUMOR: Denver looking to trade back into Rd 1 for Ponder
RUMOR: Denver looking to trade back into Rd 1 for Ponder
Via Twitter;

RT @ChrisSteuber Just a clarification, #Broncos interested in trading back into R1 to get Ponder. DEN has two 2nd RD picks, could trade 1 of them + others.
RT @ChrisSteuber#HeardThis: #Broncos targeting Christian Ponder; Elway loves his ability/makeup. Ironically, @cponder7 favorite QB alltime is Elway
COMING SOON...

Freakin Elway man... I'm telling you right now, Ponder is the steal of this draft among QBs. He doesn't have the best arm, but there is something about this guy that just wreaks of something great about to unfold. He reminds me a lot of Jim Plunkett. JMO

Bills will be targeting Locker if he lasts until pick #34.
In all honesty what has Locker shown you to make you even want him? I understand half the argument is his lack of production is due to lack of surrounding talent (which I still don't buy) but there has to be something else he has shown to you at least.

I am with you. They say working with O'Brien has helped his release but it remains to be seen.

Who I want is meaningless, it's who Ralph, Buddy , and Chan.
He has the mental characteristics,leadership and makeup to play qb in Buffalo, and
his physical characteristics are exactly what Chan likes in a qb.
Same with Ponder. They will go with Fitz and Chan will groom either for 2012.
{and whatever you think his o-line and wr's sucked at Wash.}
I don't beleive they really want Cam. Just because they haven't shut up about him for the last two months doesn't mean they will draft him. I don't think Newton will fit well in Buffalo as the face of the franchise.
I think they want Newton to get drafted by Carolina or have someone trade up in front of them to push another player down to them.
They will go defense and look qb at #34.

I tend to agree with you because guys who have accuracy issues don't tend to resolve them when they turn pro. Brian Billick's comment that what he is hearing makes him think teams making the same mistake evaluating Ponder that Baltimore did with Kyle Boller when he was there. He said Locker reminds him a lot of Boller.
That said, there is something to be said for system fit. I have read speculation that Shanahan might be interested in Locker because he likes his athleticism and how well he throws on the run. Locker might fit because Shanahan moves his QB out of the pocket a lot (where Locker struggles) on boots and designed roll-outs. Shanahan did this with Jake Plummer, another guy who wasn't good in the pocket but was real good on the move.
Given Gailey's success with athletic, scatter-arm QBs in the past like Kordell Stewart and Tyler Thigpen, maybe he thinks Locker can fit his offense. If that means he can address another need (like pass rush) with the high pick and still get Locker in the 2nd, would be make that move? Locker is a talented guy and fits if he is allowed to move around a lot and use his athleticism.
