Oh, another Temple player who played for Rhule.
I am all too afraid that Matt Rhule is going to find out with a quickness that (1) he isn't in Kansas anymore, and (2) this ain't college football.

Well dang, he might actually be better than Teddy Bridgewater.

And trade Kyle Allen for a 5th round pick. This organization is ran by complete idiots...

Boy has an arm.....quick release. Accurate. Not afraid.....
I like his ability to throw from different arm positions.3/4, sidearm, whatever it takes.

I was impressed with his scrambling ability, not as mobile as a healthy Cam, but the dude can move and throw accurately at the same time.

Yep...He looks quick in and out of the pocket. Evasive too. Will never run with power, but shouldn't have to. He quits pretty early on the runs, but discretion can be a worthy attitude to demonstrate. Especially in this league.!!

Its hard to discount the value of these smaller leagues such as the NFL Europe (Jake Delhomme), CFA (Greg Van Roten), etc. Playing time after college is something rare for rookies in the NFL, so any opportunity to play and showcase their talent is time well spent.

A lot of NFL players who were cut ended up playing in the CFL..or in one of the European leagues.. The XFL is just another one of those.....
Sort of like a 3A farm team for football. All experience is valuable.
