gridironmike Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I have said time and again I'd like the Warriors Arena team to get started and be affiliated with the Redskins. If the NFLE folds and the NFL aligns with the AFL, would it generate more interest for you? http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/sports/6257213.htm :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashback Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 It (the NFL) might (align itself with the AFL), but that would be a mistake, IMO. The AFL is never going to develop anything but QBs and WRs. I like Profootballtalk's idea for an NFL Minor League. You need a regular size field. DL need to be able to stunt. You need LBs that don't play FB, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 agreed. Arena Football is as different from the NFL as college baseball is to the major leagues. Canadian football would be a better partnering option if Arena is the only alternative. The Redskins signed Mike Nelms from the CFL and of course JT spent 3 years in Toronto after being drafted by Miami. Course he missed out on 2 Super Bowls with the Dolphins so maybe that wasn't such a great decision for him personally although it was good in the long run for the Skins.

skinsanity56 Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 i'm with the dog here.buy the damn cfl & make it the minor leagues.do away with practice squads & let them get gametime experience.all we need to do is go to 4downs & shorten/narrow the field so you guys don't get lost out there.

gridironmike Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 The NFL Minor League is a nice concept. The CFL is too. I think Arena is too. Each would have its own benefit. The AFL would certainly help with QB/WR/DB development. I think it would have an advantage for a special teams type player as well. The Canadian game would be nice for lineman, running backs, kickers (the AFL would too), and the "athletic" quarterback. The NFL Minor league would benefit from team affiliation. Two four team conferences could consist of the NFC East team, NFC North, NFC South, and NFC West. Same for the AFC. Would that make for some interesting Sundays when these former teammates lined up as Redskins vs Eagles, or etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
