Daniels and Quinton Flowers may have accomplished enough to make their mark in the league, according to this writer: Quote The game is evolving and it was shown in the XFL. Quarterbacks with fast legs were more successful in invading fast, athletic pass rushers than ones that stay in the pocket. That’s why the XFL has to consider building the league around mobile quarterbacks who are playmakers. PJ Walker and Jordan Ta’amu are off the board as they signed with NFL teams, but we saw the emergence of mobile quarterbacks like BJ Daniels, Quinton Flowers, and Tyree Jackson so flashes of big play potential. Those are the young quarterbacks the league needs to build around for 2021. I'm not sure B.J. qualifies for "young" anymore, however....

Sucks for our guys that are still in it but nice to see it at least got Nicholls a second shot at the NFL. Much like the AAF and DJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume this is related more to corona virus and the economy taking a dump than the league actually "failing". I wouldn't mind watching it in the NFL off-season if it comes back.

If a kid wants to (or needs to) start making money early, this is another avenue. It would siphon off some of the college talent, but it is entirely fair and doesn't close the door on a kid who can play football but academics, either through ability or motivation, is standing in the way.
