If I were on an NFL PS, I would much rather take my chances in the XFL than waste my career waiting for a myriad of injuries to occur before I got an opportunity to get playing experience.I don't think that they can develop any of these bums. I mean, Matt McGloin? It is going to take an NFL team to really screw up to let even a practice squad type fall to them. The salaries are just not worth it.
That's the thing. It's not easy to develop a third string QB in the NFL. They get no reps. In the XFL they have a chance to get reps and if they shine get a legit chance in the NFL. It's not a bad option although the XFL may have to pay more to lure those guys away.If I were on an NFL PS, I would much rather take my chances in the XFL than waste my career waiting for a myriad of injuries to occur before I got an opportunity to get playing experience.
Winston Moss says hold my beer:So, just tuned in to the Renegades game.
The game is 3-3 with 10 minutes left in the third quarter.
They have turned the ball over three times, Landry Jones is a fat ass bum and Hal Mumme still has a bathroom towel around his neck.
This is quite simply a bad product right now. The scoring in this weekend's games has been nonexistent.
Guys like Cooper Rush should be playing in this league, but the XFL is a rival league, not NFL Europe.From what I've seen so far, the QB play has been the biggest problem.
This tanks his credibility... WATCH MORE of the games. The Roughneck's Williams is giving the Texans' Wilson a run for the best QB in Houston, Landry Jones started to come on in the second half, LA's QB played well too, as did St. Louis' (his second int shouldn't have stood, but for a missed "off-side" penalty by the refs.).As for your other points, I agree all around. This was a terrible weekend for the XFL. From what I've seen so far, the QB play has been the biggest problem.The only one who looks halfway decent, at least from the games that I've seen, is Cardale Jones.
Landry Jones is horrid. I don't care if he threw for 300. As for Walker, I watched him in one of Indy's exhibitions and he clearly didn't belong.This tanks his credibility... WATCH MORE of the games.

You're not going to get NFL level QB play but lets face it we all watch college football which some less than stellar QB play.I watched a good amount of the Tampa/Seattle game and the DC/NY game and aside from Cardale Jones, all the QB were pretty sub par.
That's 2 out of the 4 games. I think watching 50% of the games is a pretty good sample size.
Houston's qb is the best out of the bunch so far. He's thrown 7tds/1 int in 2 games and has had some pretty playsI watched a good amount of the Tampa/Seattle game and the DC/NY game and aside from Cardale Jones, all the QB were pretty sub par.

Yeah that's an impressive throw.Houston's qb is the best out of the bunch so far. He's thrown 7tds/1 int in 2 games and has had some pretty plays
This is where it could get fun. I mean you're an 18 year old with talent but maybe not the scores and academics to go to a big college. You can either go the JUCO route or you can get $60,000 + a year, be on TV and still have a great shot at the NFL if you're good. There are a lot of kids who play football in college who don't care about the degree and are just their to play football. The XFL could be a great alternative for them.Their best bet may be kids coming out of high school that would rather make money than play for a college or college kids stuck on the bench or coming off of injury.
I haven't watched a Houston game yet. I'll make it a point to watch some of that one next weekend.Houston's qb is the best out of the bunch so far. He's thrown 7tds/1 int in 2 games and has had some pretty plays
Yeah he has been the best player I've seen in the XFL. I'm sure he will get another shot in the NFL to at least compete for a backup spot.I haven't watched a Houston game yet. I'll make it a point to watch some of that one next weekend.
Yep, I only caught the 2nd half but from what I saw he had another good game todayYeah he has been the best player I've seen in the XFL. I'm sure he will get another shot in the NFL to at least compete for a backup spot.
