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!
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

Better than Thigpen, but that's not saying much... at all.
McNabb is way past his prime, there's nothing left in the tank, and if there is then wow, where has it been the past 2 years...
If (since this is a BILLS board) we decide to bring him in, I'd gladly cut ways with Thigpen, but otherwise this is Fitzy's team and we won't see him in a Bills uni.
Great that he's in the media and being from 'Cuse, but this isn't Bills related... NEXT!
He is washed up without any doubt. The only way he will be a starter again is on a team who suffered an injury(kind of like Chicago) in need of a stopgap QB immediately to try and save their playoff hopes or on a losing team looking for a high profile QB past his prime to try and build up some attention and possible ticket sales. It would make sense for the Bears to give him a look for the rest of the season with Cutler injured.
Unless he can somehow get lucky enough to end up with a starting job next year or at least a good opportunity for one I see him retiring. I don't see him sitting around and being satisfied as a backup after being a decent starter all these years. His only chance of landing a starting job without much or any competition at all will be on a terrible team without any other options for the season.
The only way he would stick around without being the starter is if he just can't let go of the game and/or he wants to earn several million more dollars before he retires riding the pine for a year or two on a team who is looking for a veteran backup with his experience in case they lose their established starter.
My guess is he will probably try for a starting job next year and will either find one on a bad team looking for somebody for one year while they groom a young guy or on a team without an established QB where he could have a chance of winning the starting job by default.
After them scenarios above he will definitely be more then washed up and won't have any chance of being a starter again and will probably retire after that.

mcnabb has rumors that he really isn't a great locker room presense. the same kind of things said about flutie are said about mcnabb. he puts on a good show, but he is all about getting people to side with him.
If that's true, i don't see him taking any backup job lightly. heck, even the vikings cutting him mid-season hints that he might be trying to wrestle the locker room to side with him and leave ponder.
I wouldn't touch him. he was pretty good at his best. he led the bills lite in philly by getting to the NFC Championship 4 times in a row. and he eventually got them to the superbowl with TO in his prime, but never finished the deal.
Seems like a nice guy and probably will transition to tv well.
