Somedude Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 It was fun but expected. I at least hoped they would finish the season. Next year we get to watch the XFL fold as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude ran for almost 1800 yards his last year at Washington & had a monster combine. He had the perfect build for a back & had good upside as a receiver. Word was Wiz loved him as well & the RB was a big part of his passing game. Unfortunately Sankey just didn't have the vision, he didn't hit the hole quick enough. But not every pick that doesn't work out is a "bad" pick. I actually remember being concerned about him after 1-2 preseason games. I know that sounds ridiculous but when he got the ball you could clearly see him hesitating, he just couldn't find the space to run quickly enough & that's a pretty fatal flaw for a back. I remember @oldschoolsaying the same thing early on in his 1st preseason. I do blame Webster. As much as I tried to be optimistic watching his college tape, he looked ... average. No plays that made you say wow. I'm no scout but it was striking that I was not impressed by anything he did. I thought it was Chris Johnson sydrome as his college reel was insane ... but it wasn't. The guy was master of none. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanskick8851 Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Definitely some players worth looking at in the league. I would hope the team is kicking the tires on a couple of players: QB Garrett Gilbert QB John Wolford WR Charles Johnson WR Rashad Ross tgo, and Mythos27 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChemEngr79 Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 I was enjoying the AAF. Looks like the streams for past games are already gone from their website... Mythos27, and DrFlamehead 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos27 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Too bad. I really hoped this league would work out. I really think the NFL could benefit from a developmental league. Oh well. TitanDuckFan, and CreepingDeath 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreepingDeath Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I don't understand how these leagues get off the ground knowing the struggles they'll experience in the early years and then act surprised when they don't make money and have to fold. Do they not account for some major expenses or something? smokeater 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they not account for some major expenses or something? From what I gather the investor (Dundon?) that came on board pledged something like $250 million which would've been more than enough to complete the season but has only actually invested $70 million to this date. Making that huge pledge also came with some strings attached as it gave him way too much decision-making power. It seems that he's unilaterally closing the league against the founders' (Ebersol/Polian) wishes as to not sink more money into it.
