Edit: That should have been "must" see tv, but consider the "muse see TV" as kind of a Freudian slip,

 

At first blush, this could be a valuable avenue for players who were discarded quickly or toiled in training camp at a deep position. No matter how well-stocked a team's personnel department is, it's impossible to keep an eye on every eligible player cycling through the system.
 
On second thought, with the existence of plenty high-profile big name free agents out there looking for re-entry, or simply a re-introduction into the public eye, the league will need to be careful it doesn't turn into a reality show.

 

 

 

 

Push the draft back and enter a vet combine.  I don't know whether to be happy or shake my head.  I guess it's a good idea for the guys falling through the cracks.  Come March, I'll be so stir crazy and tired of rehashing the same old potential draft picks, like the NFL addict that I am, I will probably watch.

This is a repackaging of what has been tried with NFL Europe.  I think there is a market for it but it is a lot smaller than what they were going for with NFLE and must be timely placed.  If you have some training camp stuff, scrimmages and some summer football games/combines you might be able to draw some dollars.  Not much from a gate but maybe tv contracts.

      Do You Agree With These Excuses?

      We’re past the talk and hypotheticals with Bryce. If he needs a perfect game from his receivers to not put up a stinker he’s not franchise starter material.

      Extrapolate that with every QB for that matter. I guarantee you there's quite a bit of missed opportunities and yards left on the field for everyone. Many NFL QBs deal with WRs not putting in A+ effort, subpar o-line play and other deficiencies. The great ones are able to rise above these issues and create opportunities for plays. Guys like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes can both play in and out of structure, as well as find ways to get yards when things break down and mask mistakes by throwing guys open, creating opportunities from nothing, etc. Bryce Young has only shown he's able to make things happen when the rest of the team picks up his slack. Very rarely does he create those opportunities himself. When this is a consistent pattern year after year with Bryce where he shows up lackluster, it's a concern. This is year three and he should be elevating the team as a first overall pick this franchise traded up for.  He was far from elevating anyone against JAX. In fact, he needed others to elevate and create for him. Excuses may be fine for a rookie, but this is year three for the first overall pick. Not looking good so far.
