Will you watch the UFL?

No team in N.C so far. What fo you think about the new spring league?. Will you give it a shot if the quality of play is good? Between our shittyy NFL team and all the referee bonehead calls and the constant swiffty BS (along with the streaming crap), are you getting tired of the NFL as it stands today?

Going by my history, I'll probably tune in early.

Whether or not I continue watching depends on the product.

Seems to be my story with this for a long time. I always start watching it, try to pick a team and then just get bored with it. The play level is usually pretty bad.

I've enjoyed watching the XFL the last couple years. Every once in a while a former NFL name pops up, someone trying to make it back. I remember watching Taylor Heineke and PJ Walker a few years back.

If there's nothing else to watch on a crappy weather day, it's fun to watch these guys fighting to make a name for themselves and maybe get some decent game film. There are plenty of scouts at these games too.

Pretty much. The skill level in the original XFL was just awful. 

What I remember more than any of the actual plays or players are things like their bragging about having guys dive for the ball instead of tossing a coin to decide opening possession, only to see one of the first guys to take part in that bit wind up getting injured in the process.

That and listening to Jerry Lawler drool over the cheerleaders 😣

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
