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

Bills invite pro lacrosse player Zed Williams to rookie minicamp
The Bills have a strong roster. They can have as many as 90 players in camp. The final 53 is easy to predict. At least half of the practice squad is fairly easy to predict to.
That means that about 30+ players have no chance of sticking. The Bills ABSOLUTELY have "the luxury" (in reality, it's not a "luxury" at all) of trying out some superior athletes that one may be good enough to develop on the practice squad.
Ridiculous and simplistic to even think at this stage of the program we have the luxury of years to teach people how to play football. You use those spots to try people who actually play the game.....so...they can actually play the game if needed. It's that simple to the other teams we can't get past and should be to you as well.

No, it's not. Not in the least. That's what the practice squad is about.
Uh, I suggest you explore the stats for the Chiefs back-up versus Chump Trubisky.
Either way both teams RIP if they lose their #1.

Nonsense. Besides the fact that the Bills would NOT necessarily be a "**** show" if Josh got injured, (because the TEAM is very good) the same can be said with any team with one of the best QB's in the league.
Here are some of the backups for the some of the better QB's....
Mahomes - Carson Wentz
Lamar Jackson - Josh Johnson
Aaron Rodgers - Tyrod Taylor
Joe Burrow - Jake Browning
C.J. Stroud - Davis Mills
Trevor Lawrence - Mac Jones
Justin Herbert - Easton Stick
Jalen Hurts - Kenny Pickett
And on and on and on. None of them are appreciably better than Trubisky.
In any event, the discussion of the roster depth was in context to the Bills trying out some superior athletes that do not have football experience.
Wouldn't you prefer experienced players at the sport ? Why not for high level competition with a championship goal ? If you figure you can waste three spots, why not Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Mike Tyson because it doesn't matter anyway. Do other contenders do this for the heck of it? I guess I don't see it.

Props to the posters here with two eyes and a functioning brain. You want actual football players in here. If in the future teams get 120 roster spots then it still doesn’t change the fact that you damn well better field 120 football players instead of trying to obtain the movie rights to a Hollywood story that will never materialize.
Christ almighty, people. This is a violent professional sport, not fantasy land

Easy boss. It's not like it's never happened that players have made the NFL without playing college football.

In reality, the "posters here with two eyes and a functioning brain" KNOW that "actual superior athletes" can be developed into solid NFL players.
41% of the 90 players in training camp will NOT make the 53 man roster. Even considering the 16 man practice squad, 23% of the players in camp will not stick with the team.
If there is ANY hope that a stellar athletes can, in fact, transition to football, it would be NFL personal malpractice not to try.
Of course any semblance of a clue for best practices for NFL personal management is NOT your...uhhh....strong suit., In fact, if any NFL team runs their team like you opine, they would almost assuredly be mired in crappiness for years and years.

1) Do other contenders do this for the heck of it?
2) I guess I don't see it.
1) My guess is absolutely.
2) You never will unless they become all world.
