On this front, look at the turnover in quarterbacks in this off-season:
The UFL has seen its biggest turnover of Quarterback play even dating back between the merger in 2024. With 12 new quarterbacks on UFL rosters, the UFL saw three quarterbacks retire (Danny Etling, Alex McGough, and Holton Ahlers), while the league opted to move on from 17 different quarterbacks that were rostered on UFL teams last season.
As the NFL Godfather puts its big butt on the scale some more to make this league go via its proxies and perhaps become are more consistent feeder of players, it will be a challenge to manage quarterback play for the league after all this turnover.
The NFL learned back in the 1970s that the NFL thrives and can grow based on more offense, which it has spectacularly since the dawn of the “Live Ball Era” in 1978.
Now it’s up to Fox and UFL ownership to figure it out, but of course mere gimmicks are not going to work.
