    I really think the partnership between the XFL and NFL should go further. Make XFL a de facto D-League. How many 1st and 2nf Round guys flop, for whatever reason, but could've simply needed further development. Just look at the QB position, for instance. Many QBs that were far more appealing than this years class ended up being busts. Then there's guys like a Willis that has tons of raw ability, that could use further grooming. I've seen people wanting to trade three picks to the Giants for him. I'd think the Steelers would have a hella lot more patience than the other clubs, but if I'm investing three picks for him, I want to develop his talent by any means necessary, which includes a season or two in the XFL, or USFL getting live reps until he's ready to be our starter.

    We just watched the Alliance of American Football league go bankrupt in 8 short weeks in 2019.

    Hopefully the 2nd versions of the USFL and XFL will learn something


    The AAFL spent money on bringing in name NFL and College coaches to coach these 8 teams.

    Not off to a good start as the Rock and the XFL are being threatened over new XFL Logo.

    I've been thinking about this , and they would have had 2 go through a trademark registration....so the fault would not be upon them but the place that licensed the trademark.....if I'm not mistaken. :shrug:

    The NFL has a D league, it's called the NCAA. Of all the past leagues there have been scant few players that make an impact in the NFL, let alone even get there. Im not against these leagues, but the reality is if a player gets cut and cannot make it after a few years on a practice squad they likely are not NFL quality. If a guy does break through great, but I just do not see the NFL owners desiring to fund a league for those very few that do succeed.

    I thought it was the Canadian Football league, where players wanting a second chance in the NFL went to play?

    I don't know what is considered to be the better league the IFL or the CFL?

    Admittedly there a few guys who rocked the NFL after CFL..notably Warren Moon. Kurt Warner came from arena ball, so.it does happen.
