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

This is what we have spent on QB's over the last 5 years and we're still looking for a QB of the future. Bledsoe, Johnson, and Flutie have already sent this franchise back 5 years and even more to come.
Imagine what this team could've done with 2 first round picks and 40 million dollars over the last 5 years?
I hate to say it but 8 million for your QB's is the going rate these days.
So Mr hindsight- who was your QB of choice in 1998? Todd Collins again? AVP?
Flutie was a freebie- he cost us nothing in 1998 and turned the season around. He quite possibly saved the franchise from moving- those luxury box sales were going nowhere and the lease was close to being voided.
Unfortunately, he wasn't a long term solution.
Whatever money you think you would have saved would have gone toward retaining Willey, and a few aging vets like Smith and Washington. Those guys would be retiring soon anyway.
Starting QB's not making an average of 8 million dollars a year
Ramsey
Blake
Kitna
Brady
Green
Brooks
Bulger
Carter
Fiedler
Maddox
Brees
Pennington
Hasselback
B. Johnson
Plummer
Delohhme
McNair
Culpepper
I don't have actual numbers but them are just the ones off the top of my head.
Sure QB's can get up to 8+ million on the back end of a long term deal but only young, franchise, and productive QB's will average 8 million dollars a season.

Obviously, those playing on their first contracts like Bulger, Pennington & Ramsey aren't on that list.
But toss in salary and signing bonuses, and the buget for your QB's will be in he 6-8 Million range.
Bulger is cheap- but you are paying a huge stone for Warner. So the Rams' QB buget is up there as well.
Culpepper & Brooks will be in that range if not already- by next season. Brady resigned to a huge deal as well.

.
I also said QBs- your team's QB buget- (starter and backups) there are a number of players on your list who are playing in front of much more expensive players.
