some former panthers were at tryouts....this league at least on the outside seems to be ran a lil diff than the other failed football leagues..but you never know would love some football now

first-round pick Travis Taylor and former Arizona Cardinals first-round selection David Boston were a few of the players in attendance, UFL spokeswoman Rachel Gary told us in a telephone interview today.

Besides Taylor, other ex-NFL players on hand included: tight end Jermaine Wiggins, quarterback Quinn Gray, wide receiver Reche Caldwell and running back LaBrandon Toefield and wide receiver/defensive back Bobby Sippio

Sure they could make it. When they understand that they need to play in the Spring when the NFL is not playing. As long as they are trying to compete directly to the NFL it doesn't matter, they lose. Playing a different season, they've got a chance...

I'll watch, just because it's football.

Same here.

While the talent level of the players will undoubtedly be lower than in the NFL, it will be interesting to see former NFL or college players playing. Take Toefield, for instance. Running back is the last position we need depth at right now, but when we picked him up a lot of us were really hoping Toefield would have been a complimentary back to Williams (before Stewart, of course).

So while I can't say I'm sorry he's not a Panther right now, I can say I really wanted to see if he'd work out. I think it would be great to follow the many other players who, for one reason or another, never really got their shot in the NFL (or did, and blew it entirely).

And yes, it is football.

I guess if I were to design a product I would not choose to go up against one of the most successful franchises in existence.

A rival baseball league has more of a chance

This is true..but the NFL needs a minor league..something most other sport leagues have..if done right it could be very good..

Absolutely, I've got no problem with that. The problem is that they are going to try to compete directly with the NFL and that's just not gonna happen. If they played their season in the Spring, then they'd have a chance. Buit there's no way they have a chance in September...

It's interesting, there's minor talent but I think we'll see a different form of the game. There's a lot of tremendous athletes out there who couldn't make it in the NFL due to the system they played in or because of position changes, we'll probably see a lot of different styles in the UFL and it will be better than Arena in any event.

      I am high, but that’s besides the point! The blue line is not good right now. I’ve said it all year. I don’t think this group meshes well. Slaven has been just OK Niki up and down Miller up and down ghost and Walker have been your most consistent guys. Maybe it comes together more towards the playoffs

      I was expecting to see more cap room moves by now, which may be to suggest that we are not going to be that aggressive.  I have mixed emotions about that (because I think we have 3 needs on D and 3 needs on O--starters).  If you look to the draft for 3 starters, that is ambitious.  We need 6

      Yeah we shouldn’t be competing with teams, bidding wise, to sign a WR. There will be one for us and our budget.  I keep saying, how many balls will there be to go around anyway? One thing good I will say for this offense is the ball has been spread around at times. Seems like I remember seeing a large number of guys have caught passes in a game. Or been targeted at least. 3 RBs 4 or 5 WRs 2-3 TEs type of stat lines. 10-11 guys.  Not every week but that happens.    As far as WR in general, we need the smaller agile and quicker component to compliment what is there. After that it should be about depth, having good backups for the starters so we can run things consistently still, if a guy is out for a week or two. That is especially important in game where you have to finish the game with who you made active.
