"A standout" and "the best player in the XFL" only means that he was almost, but not quite good enough to make the NFL. On a talent scale, he's not even as good as the average NFL backup QB, otherwise he'd still be on a roster somewhere.

or he fell through the cracks and deserves a 2nd chance.  you miss all the shots you don't take. it does no harm to bring him in and see him work with the team and see how he does with Joe Brady.

Best player in the XFL essentially means they got the fastest guy in the special Olympics. I’d be surprised if he is on the opening day roster.

The Panthers are signing former XFL quarterback PJ Walker, who played for new coach Matt Rhule at Temple, a league source told ESPN.com. Was expected since Walker has experience with Rhule and was excelling for Houston in the XFL. Nice addition for competition and implementing the Rhule process that is so important.

New Panthers quarterback PJ Walker told me earlier this year that new coach Matt Rhule, who coached him at Temple, will adjust his offense to the quarterback. "His coaching style is up-tempo but aggressive. Coach Rhule wants to be aggressive. He relates to the players really well. The guy I played with at Temple, they would run through a wall for him. That's the way he coaches. He believes in his players and he's always going to be there for you."

Dameyune Craig set ridiculous records in NFL Europe. Garrett Gilbert was amazing in the AAF, etc.

I know everybody loves this kind of signing but getting your hopes up for something like this is usually a mistake.

Soooooo

H2.0's last draft.

 

1st rounder- looks promising

2nd rounder-  traded up for, trades for another LT after 1 season 

3rd rounder- QB who is likely going to be cut.

 

 

Looking a lot like the Drafts that tanked this team to a #1 pick during his 1st time here.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      If we divide the league up into quarters you need to be able to make 8 worse starting QBs for him not to be bottom tier. Who are they?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      It just doesn't add up to what we're watching. It feels like you're trying to convince yourself that Bryce can just make a few adjustments and pan out. You say he turns the ball over because he's over aggressive and I just don't see that. A lot of his turnovers are just bad throws oftentimes because the balls sails in him. The fumble issues? I mean, you have the smallest QB in the NFL getting hit by extremely large powerful kej who knows based on film study that this guy is prone to coughing up the ball. If you're being hit by a much larger, much more powerful man intent on removing the ball from your possession you're gonna lose that battle a decent amount of the time. I think some of it is due to bad footwork but some of it is also that when there's traffic in front of him he has to try to get the ball up and over that pressure due to his lack of height. His release point it just several inches lower than most NFL QBs, no way around it. You saying it's more difficult than simply looking at outcomes while completely leaning on situational stats to try to convince people their eyes are lying to them and Bryce's arm isn't a significantly limiting factor in his game. Some people are hyperbolic about his lack of arm strength but honestly he has one of the weakest arms in the league. That's just reality if you objectively watch him play versus other NFL QBs. If he had time in a clean pocket and can step up into and through his throw he can make most throws but that's the problem, for him to make the tougher throws everything has to go perfect. If there's pressure pushing him off his spot or pressure in front of him where he can't step up or has to try to loft the pass over the scrum it's probably ending in a poor result. The problem is that's a commonplace scenario in the NFL. It wasn't at Alabama. Trust your own QB analytical system. Bryce being very the bottom of the league matches up perfectly with the eye test of just watching him olay

      If he wanted to be as irrelevant as possible in his final year he's achieving it.
