Just curious....for everyone fed up with the NFL hierarchy and the referee bullcrap, will you give this a chance to see what they got?

Unless watching the Patriots every year in the SB and bad refereeing floats your boat that is....you gonna watch????

It's fairly affiliated with the league in hopes of becoming essentially a minor league that competes with the XFL.  I think it can become a success and drive competition from the XFL 2.0.  Polian has been planning this for a while and there's some prominent investors.  Maybe the two products competing will make each other better.

I'll check it out to see how the talent stacks up and if it's watchable.  They have coaches who have run NFL teams and players who've been on the NFL field.  I can see the talent looking better than expected given recent small football league history a la Arena and XFL.

Yes,  i'm watching because it's professional football. Although, I'll have no affiliation to a team or players but I think it'll be interesting, especially after the NFL season has ended. 

I don't see it as competition for the NFL but i do think that where it will affect the NFL will be the group of undrafted players.

Watching a spring league that wants to basically be an NFL developmental league to trigger the NFL is a bad idea.

I am interested but I don't like some of the rule changes and there's not a nearby team.

    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
    • The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
