It was most definitely better than XFL v. 1.0. I could at least watch this version, even if it was just background noise. IMO, the area that stood out as the problem is at the QB position. I saw tons of throws that a middling NFL QB can make but these guys couldn't. The true skill position that you need for good football had at best the 65th best QB in America. Not a recipe for success.
QB play was the biggest thing that stuck out. We think most #2 NFL QBs and some starting NFL QBs are bums, but they are all better than what we saw in the XFL. Not sure how that would change. You can say a lot of negative things about the NFL, but they can evaluate talent. There were a few glimpses of decent QB play in the XFL, but only briefly. Cardale Jones was a good example.
Oh lordy.
my wish for spring football is that they'd let it grow organically in smaller cities and venues.
Seattle had either the best or second best attendance every week, so I can't totally agree with this. St. Louis attendance was fine too. With the Raiders gone, put a team in Oakland.my wish for spring football is that they'd let it grow organically in smaller cities and venues.
people in New York, Miami, LA, have better options than to watch a collection of NFL washouts and never were's playing football in 70k seat stadiums that are 20% full.
McMhahon putting hundreds of millions in to the league is insane.
if the XFL had a team in Green Bay, and they played at a stadium with capacity around 20k, that thing would be packed full every home game. put teams in other college towns where football is beloved & fill those stadiums.
There's good QB play in Canadian Football. Not sure why it's an impossibility to have decent QB play in the XFL. The kid for Houston out of Temple was solid.
