[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 712053, member: 7261"] You probably know more of the history behind the WLAF, but even with its affiliation to the NFL, it lacked the elements that I think are the key to success.....direct affiliation with a current NFL team as well as playing within their market. I kind of remember the league and teams held the rights to certain players, but watching a game just to see that one possible Packer recruit wasn't enough for me. Maybe if they created a 16 team league, with each team being comprised of 2 NFL teams recruits, it wouldn't have to be as big or compete in as many markets. Imagine the "Packbears" taking on the "Vikelions". :coffee: There definitely have been some good players that game out development leagues and without those leagues, I doubt many would recognize their names: Kurt Warner, Brad Johnson, John Kitna, Adam Vinatieri, William Refrigerator Perry, James Harrison, Jake Delhomme....
