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

Not looking like a great year to be looking for a QB but it's early still. The good news is that we won't likely be picking in the top 10 anyways so we may get one of the best of this bunch later.
Not flashy stats, but both guys looked decent. Coker short-armed a couple of long balls that could have been TD's, and Stave looked shaky a few times but he was under immense pressure all night.
I think these guys are worth watching and will climb the boards as the season progresses.

Stats only tell half the story. I am more concerned with ball placement pro throws and throwing guys open. Also a guy may be playing with bad receivers.
Also with Tyrod starting I have a feeling qb will not be drafted in round 1 or 2 anymore
There is absolutely no qb talent out there anymore. I think it's because all of these high school and college teams are running the spread and read option, and therefore are not developing the skills for QB's that NFL teams covet. Luck and Russel Wilson might be the last of a dieing breed for a while...
Never said they were, though I can see where you could make that assumption. They are the last of the breed of young quarterbacks that can come right into the league with the skillset to be successful right away. The read option has taken the passing skills right out of the college game.
The media likes to point out that the league has transitioned over to a pass happy league, where the "running game has become devalued ", but how long can this possibly be the case without any quality prospects that can pull the trigger for a passing offense? What does this mean for the road that the league is headed down?
How about the Bills wait until after the season starts and see if Cassel would come back with a greatly reduced salary, with no guarantees for the season.
He may suck, and be the king of checkdown heaven, but, if Tyrod and EJ either stink up the place or get hurt, Cassel would be a good alternative to salvage the season...especially if the other two get hurt for just a few games.
The Bills ARE developing two young QB's....they don't need another on the squad. What they need is an insurance policy. A cheaper one.

My bad, I interpreted the bolded as lumping them together.
I agree with the other points. that's why I'm keeping an eye on guys like Stave and Coker.

I've enrolled in the 'jimmifli School for Drafting a QB every year, even if you have one'.
