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

I liked Bart Starr, he was true grit blue-collar get-r-done football. But Starr studied Unitas. It wasn't just the the stats, Johnny was the inventor/perfecter of the three-step drop, the five-step drop, he called his own plays, and perfected the concept of the timing route.
Unitas is top five for sure, and any qb who followed him would have been an idiot not to study him.
But the question isn't who was the most prolific innovator, it's who ultimately PLAYED the position the best, and as a qb Starr was a stone cold killer who broke my heart too many times.
Was he flashy? No. Nothing he did would ever stand out as proclaiming him a generational player with a rocket arm and 4.4 speed.
He just did things as simply and efficiently as possible. He just wanted to beat you, not look like Superman.
And IMO, he beat people better than anyone who's ever played the position.
