He was before his tenure at Tennessee. He didn't live up to the hype in college but showed alot here in limited action. He was a good prospect not elite by any means in the NFL.

Meant jeffcoat not Jefferson. If we get wj back great. If not I wouldn't jump to spend that money on another de. Up here he is crazy valuable as a him down south he is one of a huge group of young athletic de hybrids. He has the talent and athleticism but they could just as well have wj and 10 similar guys in camp.

Vince McMahon considers move to bring back the XFL
wbbfan replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Walker for Houston is easily the best qb so far. This game is much better then the first but still pretty meh football -
Gotta keep money for if Kongbo gets cut. If we ended up with Kongbo Jefferson McAllister and ROH as our ends we'd be in great shape. I don't think we need to jump and over pay another end to replace wj if he leaves. We have the guys internally to replace at a huge savings.

Vince McMahon considers move to bring back the XFL
wbbfan replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The refs are brutal holy cow. Completely inept in even the basics of football. Idk how any one can be watching this. The execution and refing makes the AFL 2 look like the best the NFL has to offer. -
Vince McMahon considers move to bring back the XFL
wbbfan replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The worst tackling I've ever seen in my life. Is horse collar not a penalty in the xfl either? Screens qb roll outs piss poor attempts at read option. The quality of football is worse then o thought it'd be. -

"The none player/coach operations expenses involved in that many teams is whats gonna eat it up." They dont own any stadiums. How much do you think its gonna cost to occupy for TC, practices, and games for every team. They also need to upgrade to nation quality TV set up with cameras etc. They have no infrastructure for play tracking, film study, sleds to hit, equipment rooms, etc. The AAFL was only the most recent pro football attempt in the last 20 years. Many have tried and failed (AFL shut down for 2 years, AF2, Fall experimental, indoor football league, IPFL, UFL, NFLE, AAF, and the original XFL) The contractors and locals are going to jump at the cash from the XFL2, they arent gonna give freebies for another one year wonder. -
I suspect he is wanting a contract with decent guaranteed money. And is probably getting futures contracts with little to none or camp invites.

Agree. But plenty of time is left in the off season. Ideally we'd get Franklin (or some one similar) on a cheap deal, and either bring back knight or find another athletic run threat qb to go into camp with mcguire and collaros.

I very much doubt that is where the money will go. The none player/coach operations expenses involved in that many teams is whats gonna eat it up. But talent re-circulation for fringe players is great. -

Im guessing its hubris. -
I dont see him as that guy at all. Maybe at his best, but not any more. To be a game / system changer at Lber you gotta either be lock down in pass cover, or pass rusher / lanes. Like Bighill in his first year here his deep middle zone under the S and in place of loffler at times was incredible and allowed us to do a lot. Or WJ and his pressure / PKDs. I dont see Elimimian as that guy. 2016 he was all over the field making plays in the back field, back in the middle etc. Since then I think hes been a scrape to the ball and up the middle stuffer. Now I think hes replacement level tbh.
-
Agree. He will be 34 this year, his best year was 2016 and 2017 was his last good year. It isnt hard to find a tackle box MLBer. The chances he regains peak form now is extremely low. If I was them Id go with a young cheap Imp or even try a good sts NIer.

An out right liability. I want to see a db core of gainey, heath, and fogg one some team. ideally the riders.
-
Personally I think its a none issue for balance. Some players will pick money/night life other players will pick the best team I dont think the big cities are at a disadvantage, just stating that it was all one way earlier now being thrown back the other. I think the ability for players in the big cities to earn side income dwarfs the minimal gap easily. No position player any time soon imo. Or even the next Mike reilly deal. Or to be the als having to cut players you want to keep because you simply can not afford them.

Not in the toronto market imo. A championship didnt put a good number of butts in the seats, I dont see willie doing it. A ricky williams esq nfl QB would make some what of an improvement.

a week ago people on here talked about how living in TO/bc was a none factor in the end. Now its cmoooooon cost of living! I cant see WJ choosing to play for a none competitive team with 8 fans. Imo, if he signs in the CFL hes coming on down to winnipeg.

I no longer hold hope that we sign so and so premier pass catcher in FA. If we get one ill be surprised and cautiously optimistic. If we go into the year with lawler, darvin and bailey plus the NIs its still a really good wr core. A good vet with some questions like tasker to push that core would be great. Willy is priority no1 imo if he isnt nfl bound. And keeping money available for nfl guys is important too.

Vince McMahon considers move to bring back the XFL
wbbfan replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Unless its indoor football and not arena style on 1/2 a field. I think the idea of bringing football early is a solid one, IF they played during the NFL season I think their best shot would be on none nfl days. But yeah they dont stand a chance. So if they last 3 years, hes hoping the tv deal 3-4 years after that would pay back his initial investment. What then covers his losses from the first 3 years after the initial, and the next 3-4 while 90% of the income is paying back his investment? Its a 0 percent chance to be flush after 7 years he is banking on. Just insane. How many pro football leagues other then the CFL and NFL have operated for 7 consecutive years? Just the arena league? With no tv money and 10k fans a game? Seems like financial suicide to me. -

He was with MTL, I think on the PR or IR dont think he played. Think he was trying to get an nfl shot too.
