Assuming that we all get to see a UFL game sometime, here is a really important thing to keep in mind:


Do NOT judge the games by the standard of an NFL game between two of the top NFL teams.


The quality of play will NOT be there. Think about it; if the players in the UFL were comparable with the players on a top level NFL team, they would be somewhere in the NFL on a roster somewhere - - - and they are not. By definition, this is a "minor league" with players competing against other "minor leaguers"


Look at the UFL games analytically - - as if you were a scout. Don't root for or against anyone. Just focus on individual players and see how they perform. Whan there is a replay - - if you see a game on TV - - don't even look at the ball; watch the OL and DL to see who stands out and/or who sucks.


This is the value of the UFL. Don't worry about Archuletta; just about everyone knows he can't play in the NFL anymore. Look for other players who seem to have the ability to move up to become guys on an NFL roster who may or may not dress for any given game on a random weekend. That's what most of the UFL players ought to aspire to. That's what viewing the UFL is all about...
