UFL Starts this weekend


Recommended Posts

An 8 team league combined from the USFL and XFL.  I was surprised to see that there were only 8 teams.  I assume that they took the best teams based on attendance to create this new league. 

This is pretty much the minor leagues of football.  Minor league is better than nothing.  It will be interesting to see what players shine and get a chance to hook-up with an NFL team after the season is complete.

Always thought he wasn't given a real chance.  I hope he performs well.  Wouldn't be the first time an unknown QB comes from nowhere to have a career in the NFL. 

Yeah could be a PJ Walker style move. Crazy how many people on here acted like he got a fair shot, yet Bryce should get like 3 years minimum even though he has a lower ceiling

Maybe we are waiting to see what any of these UFL QBs have to offer.  Remember we only have 2 QBs on the roster.  Maybe one of these QBs would be good for a 3rd QB.

I wish Corral nothing but the best. I just don't think he's an NFL QB talent. It was pretty obvious pretty quickly.

They gave him like 2 snaps at the end of each practice and then threw him into preseason games raw, I think he should get a little more benefit of the doubt after the poo he put up with here

It's a traits thing for me. He just didn't look like he belonged.

I'd say more about that specific issue but some folks would get triggered. I'll just say that I'm not sure if all the focus on OL and WRs in the world is gonna make a lot of difference for us.

Yeah, just curious to see him play in a non poo show situation. He won a 3 qb camp battle for this situation so maybe he's getting it together mentally. He's got the physical tools

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • 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.
