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!

QB Rattay traded from 49ers to Bucs
NFL.com wire reports
TAMPA, Fla. (Oct. 18, 2005) -- Tim Rattay was acquired by Tampa Bay as the Buccaneers addressed their shortage at quarterback after Brian Griese injured his knee.
The Bucs sent an undisclosed draft choice to the San Francisco 49ers for the six-year veteran, who lost his job in San Francisco after four weeks to top overall draft pick Alex Smith. The transaction beat the NFL trading deadline of 4 p.m. Tuesday.
To make room for Rattay on the active roster, the Bucs released rookie fullback Rick Razzano.
Griese tore knee ligaments in the victory over Miami and will be out for a lengthy time. Chris Simms took over for Griese as the Buccaneers beat the Dolphins 27-13.
Considering he only started one game and played in another in TB before he was injured and replaced by Griese....I would expect Simms is going to play and he just might perform quite well. The time he had he didn't do poorly at all...he just lost his job because Griese was playing well. Simms is probably going to start showing up now that he's needed IMO.
I think it's hillarious that people think ANYONE can be successful as long as they get a year of crap behind them based on Eli, Peyton, yada yada yada....it's hillarious because those guys needed to have some bad seasons because most of them were on horrible teams that were building up around a QB...and there are zillions of guys who have had their starts and NEVER seen any success whatsover. If the only requirement was to have a crappy season I'd be glad to go out there and make a few million having a crappy season in my first season just to come back the next year and be the next Peyton Manning.

It IS a requirement however to see if he will be any good. Otherwise you are prolonging finding out and then we will be looking for another QB in two or three years instead of one. Just puts the future even more into the future.
I guess that San Fran has not only given up on the season, but is certain that Alex Smith is their guy. I'm not so sure that was such a good idea.
I think it was a great move by the 49ers. This season is gone for them. They do not have the talent level and need to go through a rebuilding phase. What a better time than to let Alex Smith gain some experience and get extra draft picks to rebuild a new and stronger team.

I don't know if I would say great move. It might not hurt them, but it's most likely far from great.
Well, he's better than Simms kid, thats for sure...
imms isn't bad I love that kid he needs time to develop they say that system is tough thats why he has wylie vets running it simms will be a good QB somewhere
