It is good that after decades of making being sick that field is going to be used to help Will Dan Snyder charge everyone who comes to the lot $100 or so bucks like they do for games? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Indianapolis waived Brian Hoyer last night. He was not out of work long. If Stidham is their starter for Week 1, I will eat my hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I keep hearing they're real high on Stidham, but I find it somewhat hard to believe they are going to bring that roster back with an unproven guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 This is the ultimate problem the XFL has. All the good players are going to the NFL every year. While the players see this as a developmental or a 2nd chance, not sure the league was hoping for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can get some NFL funding to be their minor league/place to test new rules, it has staying power. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The difference was the AAF was actively trying to get the NFL to accept them as a feeder system because they needed the NFL to survive. The final straw for that league was when the NFLPA voted to not having an affiliation with them. That was their Hail Mary to get the financing. The XFL isn't courting the NFL but they aren't actively being hostile towards them. Everyone knows with these leagues that all the players are really using it as a shot to get back into the NFL. What helps the XFL is that if guys get signed by the NFL - that is a selling point for the league. Before this season started - a lot of guys were leery of joining the XFL because they thought it would hurt their NFL chances or they thought they were "too good" for the XFL. Also - even if dudes get signed now and play the season, there will be plenty of guys dumped again who will be more than willing to go back to the XFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I just don't see the NFL funding something they don't outright own. The feeder system is the college level, not a bunch of dudes who likely will get bounced back into the XFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Kurt Warner's big breakout wound up being, temporarily, a huge boon for the Arena League. The XFL could use a guy jumping to the NFL and becoming a star, makes the league more interesting and worth watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremebve Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 17 hours ago, RIPPA said: Cam has officially been released The Panthers also signed Robby Anderson I'm really interested how Cam Newton's career plays out. He was drafted in 2011 and is either the best or second best quarterback drafted until Patrick Mahomes was drafted in 2018. He's the only one who's won an MVP, and his 2015 season is by far the best season that any quarterback from that era has had. Russell Wilson is the only competition, but at his best he wasn't as unstoppable as Cam seemed that season, on a team where he was the only above average offensive weapon. Not only that, he's a completely and totally unique talent. If his career is just never the same, what is his legacy? Opinions about him seem to vary greatly, and most of them have nothing to do with his play. I hope it's not over, but he carried that team on his back for his entire career and his body might be permanently broken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 If anyone needs a year off it's Cam. Healed properly and motivated, he could be a beast in 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
