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

Sounds like Parcells is trying to let DB know that he believes in his ability as a player & leader.. Maybe he feels like the Bills staff tried to baby-sit him too much.
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.
You have to admit the staff was holding his hand a little too much, especially with the "Alarm Clock" experiment.. Instead of getting DB a lineman or two, TD got DB a Clock.

Holding his hand alittle too much? Try way too f'in much.
The first thing that comes to my mind is that stupid parade we threw for the guy. Goodness.
We brought in one of the top QBs in the league over the past decade to replace a lineup of losers ever since Kelly retired....you had to know it would be a big deal

But one of the top QB's based on what? Surely not his record. Dont get me wrong I have been a Bledsoe fan since I was nine years old but its time for the guy to hang em up. Ever since he signed that huge contract and got injured he just hasnt seemed like the same player to me.

Based on how well he and the Patriots performed before the injury. Here in Buffalo, we only saw flashes. As far as his record, that's a team stat,...there isn't a QB in the history of the league that can perform without talent surrounding him...Drew's down years in NE seemed to be the years the pats roster was the weakest. As far as Drew's future, had he gone anywhere but to Dallas and Parcells, I think he'd fail. In Dallas with the Tuna, he has a chance for a few more good years.
Parcells is smart enough to know that you have to Max Protect an immobile pocket passer, give him a line that isn't made up of Practice Squad and Depth Chart player, and not have the bright idea to "Run the QB more" as Sam Weis suggested before last season about Bledsoe.
The Question for Bledsoe and the Cowboys is Can DB still be accurate when given the protection, It's obvious he still has the arm strength to go deep but does he have the Touch?
