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.

    • I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.
    • From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"
    • Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
