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

I wonder how Marino and Kelly handle this time of year. Everyone always asking them how it feels to make it and not win. Marino got there so early in his career thinking he would be back. Kelly making it to 4 and not to get one win.
You have to be proud of the accomplishments they made, they both had great careers. Should they be thought less of cause they didn't win it all?
Eh, it sucks that neither won the big one...both were great QBs...I actually edge Marino because he carried their offense with no running game. Kelly had Thomas around to share the offensive burden.
However, it doesn't detract what either one did on the field over the course of their careers just because they didn't win the big one. Fran Tarkenton was great too and he never won the big one. I don't think anyone, except Viking fans, care that he never won the big game anymore.
Meanwhile guys like Doug Williams, Jeff Hostetler, Trent Dilfer, Jim Plunkett have rings.
It's a nice cherry on the sundae for guys like Brees, Brady, Montana, Young and Manning but all would be thought of as a great QBs even if they didn't win one or more.

I agree, but it seems every year those two get singled out as not winning the big one.

It doesn't bother me as much, but there's no doubt that that's the one thing in my life and in sports, just feeling what that would be like. There's no doubt that there's sometimes I think about that, even today. When I'm watching the Super Bowl, that's going to be coming into my mind for sure. That's just part of life, man. I never had that feeling, and that's the feeling you want to have as a player as you've worked your whole life.
Heh - a lot of folks think that RJ was just a clip board carrier on the 'Bucs SB team - but he played ok as a back-up for them:
He did? Look at his numbers.
High completion percentage (64.8%). Only 6.1 Yds/Att.
19 sacks compared to 88 attempts, an astounding number and the story of his career. The guy took a sack once every 4 times he dropped back, or about once every series.
For comparison, Brad Johnson took 21 sacks against 451 attempts that year with the same team.
RJ sucked donkey balls. The only thing he cared about was his completion percentage.

And BUF traded for him. We all know his proclivities, assets, faults. Old news. Coming to a team to share time with the backbiter Flutie, and dysfunctional top management. I'm not championing him; what makes you think that I did?
I don't think you read the link to where it spoke of his championship season with the Bucs. Which was what I was talking about. Like it or not, he helped getting that team into the playoffs.
