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!
This is only a test
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

Door #2. I don't think we're going for Ben but if we do it's better not to throw him right in anyway. He's physically gifted but not ready to start imo. He didn't play a bunch of quality competition and when he finally did against Iowa he looked terrible. I think he'll be fine but why not wait one year if you have that luxury.
Doubtful. I think TD IS looking toward the future, though; so he wouldn't risk that by asking a rookie to carry the load. TD still sees some promise in this team, in spite of the shambles GW and KG left last season with. If it looks like this next season is destined to turn out like last year's though, it's probable that the "QB of the Future" (whomever that may be) will get considerable playing time. Still, it's too early to make any predictions, since we've just entered the free agent signing period.
Someone said "What's he gonna turn out like?" Ha!
And someone else said "Never mind!"

A rookie is not ready to start for this team, Drew is still our man, lets have some faith in him. Last season when our line decided to block Drew had really good games, Hes not washed up just yet!
Rookie QB's fresh out of college that are thrust into a starting role, for the most part, fail miserably. Look at the most recent ones: Brees, Leaf, Cade McNown, all were highly touted and expected to make an imediate impact on their team. The only one who I can remember that started right out of college that didn't fail was Peyton Manning, there's no Peyton in this draft, an Eli, but no Petyon.
Peyton took his lumps also in his first year. Check out the interceptions. Thats just the nature of the position, it takes time to adapt and develop into the pro game at the qb postion.
Marino is the only one that I can recall that really lit it up in his first year, but he did not start from week one either. I remember him sitting for at least a good part of the start of the season.
2- if Big Benis still there for the taking at 13, Bledsoe wil be the starter for at east 1 if not more seasons
3- No one is going to trade for Bledsoe. Even if they wanted him, (let's say for argument's sake- Dallas) no team is going to trade for a QB making 6 Million with a 7 Million november bonus.
If the Bills rework the deal (as expected) whatever bonus he will get will be accelerated into the Bills' cap.
So, in a nutshell- even if a team wants him, for financial reasons it won't happen.
I don't want a rookie at the helm. This team has a legit playoff chance- and if you don't want DB- you have to find another experienced vet that won't chew up cap space
