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

Normally I would post this in the Scouting Zone and let it die a slow death but with the Hackett and Marrone moves I figured I could have some relevance here.
If they like the guy and think he can translate his game to the pros, and Marrone should know this better than anyone, they should take him before anyone does.
If the Bills think that Nassib is the guy they better grab him at #8. They have waited on QBs in the past and have lost them. This is no time to gamble on him falling. There will probably be higher rated players on board at 8 but so be it.
Let the scouting dept. do their jobs and find some gems in later rounds. It aggravated me to hear of the the lower drafted players contributing so well for the playoff teams. It's about time that our resident genious, Buddy Nix, did the same.
I've said it previously and people laughed, if the Bills like him and think he's their guy, grab him at 8, do not take the gamble of him being there in a later round. His stock has been rising as it is, if he has a good showing in the Senior Bowl, who knows how high he can go. Myself I don't put a lot into performances in Bowl games, the layoff the players go through is too long to expect top performances. What I like about Nassib is he has good size, a strong arm with a quick release and seems to be a leader and of course having already worked with Marrone and Hackette. What I don't care for, is him not knowing his limitations, as far as trying to force things, but he'll learn with experience. QB should be the Bills #1 concern and while I still like Tyler Wilson, I'd be totally onboard with taking Nassib with the 8th pick.
Watching him in several games, he needs to set his feet a bit more when delivering some balls but that's easily correctable. Was clearly comfortable in that K gun Offense and delivered the ball quickly. Some games, his receivers dropped a lot of balls that were right on the money. He's accurate.
I also liked the fact that Offense ran the ball with so much success, like in the bowl game against West Virginia when the bad weather basically eliminated the pass.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
I think it is a good sign that he seems to have developed rapidly over the past few years. It appears as if he came to Syracuse as a really raw athletic kid. Marrone and Hackett turned him into a QB. He's still not the most finished product ever to come out of college at the QB spot (Andrew Luck might hold that title), but his rapid development leads one to think he's got a pretty good chance to keep improving in areas like his reads and touch passes. I wouldn't mind him ending up as the Bills draft pick.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
Thanks for the writeup Draftboy. I don't know that much about him, but all signs pointing towards us interested in him.
One thing that bothers me in your writeup is how he only throws the fast ball. Has he displayed any touch balls or over the shoulder lob balls in any games? I'd think we need more than a rocket in every pass.
When was the last time a Coach choose to reunite with a college QB. The last time I remember this being a topic was with Cho (OC of Tenn) having a chance at Leinhart and he passed and took Young.
I can't remember any other instances though.

If there's a better, more talented candidate available, I'm pretty sure they'll take him.
did the gailey staff in its entirety get let go? is david lee still available to provide QB guidance, or is it safe to say someone else will fill that role?
not that lee worked magic with fitz, but i can see working with a 30 yr old who was successful last year before an injury much harder than a 23 yr old who trusts his coaches because they made him better.
reading that review, the negatives are fixable. i think a rocket arm guy can learn touch. i dont think weak arm guys can learn to win in december at the ralph.
