Every team started from scratch. Nobody went back to their teams from 2020. Plus, I think he even signed back with the league well after the draft (I could me mistaken on that). So could St. Louis have had Ta'amu if they had wanted him? And did absolutely no player return to his former team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Stoops may be the only guy who returned in the same situation from 2020. 1 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Stoops may be the only guy who returned in the same situation from 2020. I see now that Ta'amu is not in the list of players who were taken in the league draft in November; I am reading that he signed with the league in January, and was assigned to D.C. McCarron is obviously doing a great job at St. Louis (who drafted him in November). But Ta'amu seemed to be the standout player on the most popular team in 2020, so it would have been neat from the fans' perspective to keep that going. Hypothetical question: if St. Louis had been unhappy with McCarron in practices, would they have been able to get Ta'amu assigned to them? Anyway, I am glad to see that Ta'amu landed with another well-supported team, where he can continue to be the face of the league. But I still think that it's a bit surprising that the league didn't have some kind of continuity preference for returning players (however few they might be). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Finally was able to catch some of the action yesterday. Watched StL-DC. My lord, Ta’amu looks fantastic. The Defenders lucked out. Much better QB situation than hapless Cardale Jones in 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish he would've gone back to STL to keep seeing continuity between 2.0 and 3.0 -- but him jumping to DC just adds to this budding rivalry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a brilliant idea. Leagues like this need a touch of whimsy, especially when fans develop these things organically. It shows people are showing up to their event and genuinely having a good time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I think we might as well just rename this league the Roughnecks Football League starting 2024 (assuming the league survives). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
