Its a challenge for CFL teams to convince young QBs to come north when they have to sit and learn a new game behind a veteran ( at very low pay) when they get a chance to play immediately (not ready to in most cases) because these XFL /USFL leagues provide quick film and hopefully a quick opportunity for an NFL tryout.
Scrap the Global Initiative and focus on this issue Mr. Commissioner.
I am just curious about how many XFL/USFL QBs do we think could succeed in the CFL and who are these QBs? I see a number of QBs in both leagues who tried making it up here and couldn't, including Troy Williams, who just quarterbacked his Pittsburgh Maulers to the USFL championship game.
