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

he always played well.. he had one issue with drinking.. and it wasnt something that effected his game performance.. he came out during the offseason and stated that he felt he had a drinking problem and wanted to get it treated... then did.. it doesnt make him a bad person or unable to do a good job. my father was an alcoholic for many years.. while he was a police officer for 26 years.. he got help and is 8 years sober... it never made him a horrible father.. he never beat his kids or ignored us or let us down.. he just drank alot.

and i was talking about a guy like smoker late.. like van pelt.. either of those guys, to give them a shot in training camp, would be fine with me.. who is to say we cant get 2 qbs this draft.. for a team with a glaring need like us.. and with the probability of a qb being a bust.. hell get two of them and let them prove their worth.. and improve our odds of at least getting one decent player.

I think the alcohol issue is one that teams will have to evaluate by sitting down and having a heart to heart with the guy, talking to his college coach etc. I believe that if a guy shows he knows he was in trouble, and is highly motivated to change, he can beat his past. I wouldn't mind if Buffalo was the team to take a chance on him after doing due diligence. Appart from off field issues, I think he might be the fourth best QB in the draft, after Rivers.
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.

he was kicked off the michigan state team, but was such a hard worker and made such an effort to prove to his teammates and coaches that he was past his issues and wanted to be part of the team, they let him back.. then once he was back, he won the starting job back very quickly.

I like Smoker and would like to see him drafted in around the 5th rd if one of the other qb options does not work out. If they get a qb earlier I don't think they should waste a pick on another though. also stay away from Schaub, the guys a stiff.
Wasn't there a past Buffalo great qb who liked to pound'em ?
