I was there. It was loud. Good atmosphere, I thought.TV announcers saying "The fans are going nuts here!
Good to hear wish I was there. Unfortunately I was in Houston on Friday and Saturday left Sunday. We, the kids, grandkids went to see magnificent NASA. We loved it.I was there. It was loud. Good atmosphere, I thought.
Does that lol respresent you not thinking that the XFL is not good football? I find it to be decent and worth watching. We all have our opinions and I am not condemning those of you who think the XFL is not very good. Just stating that I think by week three the football is solid. Not anywhere near the NFL but imo it is good enough for most football junkies.lol..
In several aspects, sure, it isn't too bad.lol it is good football. lol
I don't find it lol but whatever. I do agree that the Qb play for the most part has been quite bad. I expect that to improve.In several aspects, sure, it isn't too bad.
In terms of the most important position in the sport, and the one that dictates the vast majority of the flow of the game, it's essentially terrible.
So ya, as we were, lol..
Here’s the thing, statistically the XFL has better QB play than the NFL if you factor in the level of talent in both leagues. Roughly 3 of the 8 teams have good QB play so about 38%, while in the NFL say 10 teams out of 32 have good QB play so 31%.In several aspects, sure, it isn't too bad.

Wow. Excellent gymnastics, bud..Here’s the thing, statistically the XFL has better QB play than the NFL if you factor in the level of talent in both leagues. Roughly 3 of the 8 teams have good QB play so about 38%, while in the NFL say 10 teams out of 32 have good QB play so 31%.
Thing is the NFL there are a lot more teams and the big name QBs do get a lot of attention so it gives the illusion that the QB play across the board is so much better. Walker, for example, is no worse than what we’ve seen from the Bengals, Dolphins, Cardinals, Bears, Jets, Giants, Jags, etc. but again you have the Watson’s, Mahomes, Rogers and Brees to cover it up. Doesn’t hurt also that the cap for the XFL teams, 4 million, many players make that in a year in the NFL.
Several people seem to be expecting a product that will continue to be televised.It's a minor league, what does everyone expect?
If it generates some ratings it might survive, if not it'll die like all the rest of them. I keep hoping one day a minor league spring football league will survive, preferably one with a Houston team. If it doesn't, give it a while and another will come along. Historically people keep throwing money at this sort of thing and they all lose their money. We don't know yet if this one will make it, but the odds are it won't.Several people seem to be expecting a product that will continue to be televised.
Ok fine you clearly have no actual interest in discussing anything so go back to just making sarcastic remarks that only you think are funny and adding nothing to the discussion. You know pretty much what you always do.Wow. Excellent gymnastics, bud..
Except I discussed how you did amazing gymnastics to justify terrible qb play..Ok fine you clearly have no actual interest in discussing anything so go back to just making sarcastic remarks that only you think are funny and adding nothing to the discussion. You know pretty much what you always do.
It’s not justifying, XFL has a QB problem. Everyone knows it and everyone has commented on it. Except the NFL has a QB problem as well. It’s just not as noticeable because there are a lot more teams. NFL also has a much bigger pool to draw from and built in ways to get around it not the least of which is the huge salary cap every team has.Except I discussed how you did amazing gymnastics to justify terrible qb play..
I've never compared the xfl to the nfl.. that was your argument..It’s not justifying, XFL has a QB problem. Everyone knows it and everyone has commented on it.

If you are comparing he XFL to the NFL then you are making an unfair comparison. If the XFL was trying o compete with the NFL then it would be fair but it’s not. The closest it’s competing with is college and in that regard it’s a much better product than most college teams.
If you say something is terrible then yeah you are comparing it to something else even if you don’t state what you are comparing it to. Compared to college, high school and pony league the QB play is good. Compared to previous spring leagues the QB play is good. It’s only bad compared to the NFL so don’t try to pull the “I never compared it” card.I've never compared the xfl to the nfl.. that was your argument..
Nah, I just watch and think it stinks..If you say something is terrible then yeah you are comparing it to something else even if you don’t state what you are comparing it to.

https://www.xfl.com/articles/midseason-review-what-we-ve-learnedHouston has been the gem of the XFL. Head coach June Jones’ offense has been the most exciting thing in the league.
Quarterback P.J. Walker is running away with the Most Valuable Player award. NFL scouts are keeping a close eye on Walker, who has thrown for a league-high 1,338 yards and 15 touchdowns. Walker has the luxury of throwing to the league’s best wide receiver in Cam Phillips, who has 31 catches and nine touchdowns.
The defense has been shaky at times. But the offense has been so good that nobody has been able to stay with the Roughnecks.
Bummer....for a new league. Really hope they can ride out the storm.
