I am not a Trevor Siemien guy but I agree with this.GregParks wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 4:26 pmThe XFL should be taking the best players willing to play in the league, period. If Trevor Siemien is better than a longshot QB from a small school, they should take Siemien. One of the lessons learned from the original XFL is that quality of play matters.Sounder wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 4:21 pm I really don't want to see journeyman veterans who make the NFL rounds and can't stick anywhere. Trevor Siemien has been rumored......but he's already shown to be underwhelming as an NFL starter.........so why should the XFL showcase him? I would rather see a guy......an undrafted or at least untested QB that just gets lost in the numbers game. A guy who'll likely see preseason reps but was a longshot to make the roster from the start. Not a Geno Smith,. not a Nathan Peterman. A guy, who when he suits up in an XFL uniform will be making his first true impression in the pro ranks. Not a hand-me-down Quarterback.....for obvious reasons,. are the most visible. So it's important. This is who you're building your team around more or less.
If it’s a former 1st or 2nd round pick in the NFL or an undrafted player. Whomever proves himself to be the best starting option should be on the field.
The XFL is not a developmental league. You can’t have a bunch of inexperienced or rookie quarterbacks on the field, unless they earn it. It will lead to ugly quarterback play. Just go see the AAF. The QB play in that league was shaky at best. In a league where the rules favored the QBs with limited or no blitzing allowed. The majority of first year starting quarterbacks struggle.
In a perfect world. XFL Teams will uncover an inexperienced or young quarterback that plays lights out and becomes a star. Hopefully that happens. The best players need to play period. Let the coaches decide that. This isn’t a developmental league.
