The Stallions are going to be a spring football dynasty, aren’t they?

Not just the Stallions, but Birmingham in general for non-NFL, non-collegiate football:

 

1974 WFL - Birmingham Americans 22, Florida Blazers 21

1975 WFL - Birmingham Vulcans (9-3, declared champs when league folded)

1983 USFL - Birmingham Stallions (9-9)

1984 USFL - Birmingham Stallions (14-4, Conference Championship Runner-Up)

1985 USFL - Birmingham Stallions (13-5, Semifinalist)

1995 CFL - Birmingham Barracudas (10-8, lost in Division Semifinal)

2000 AF2 - Birmingham Steeldogs (7-9)

2001 XFL - Birmingham Thunderbolts (2-8)

2001 AF2 - Birmingham Steeldogs (12-4, lost in first round)

2002 AF2 - Birmingham Steeldogs (11-5, lost in conference final)

2003 AF2 - Birmingham Steeldogs (7-9)

2004 AF2 - Birmingham Steeldogs (10-6, lost in first round)

2005 AF2 - Birmingham Steeldogs (2-14)

2006 AF2 - Birmingham Steeldogs (7-9)

2007 AF2 - Alabama Steeldogs (7-9, lost in first round)

2019 AAF - Birmingham Iron (5-3)

2022 USFL - Birmingham Stallions (Stallions 33, Philadelphia Stars 30)

2023 USFL - Birmingham Stallions (Stallions 28, Pittsburgh Maulers 12)

2024 USFL - Birmingham Stallions (6-0 currently)

 

Even if you want to discount the indoor/arena game, that's 4 titles in 10 outdoor seasons. And  3 on-field titles in eight full seasons.

If you ditch the USFL/XFL conferences, I'd keep Memphis and St. Louis together. I think that short distance would help their rivalry much better. New Orleans is further west than St. Louis as well. 

I'd go with Rhythm instead of either of these. It just flows better too. 

I see what you did there...

So instead of waiting for the UFL season to end to sign Jake Bates, the Rams, Vikings and Jags wasted draft picks on kickers.  

How is he on PATs?

 

Yes. I know they don't kick them. It's a question worth asking.

We have no idea since they don't kick them.

You're missing the Birmingham Fire (WLAF):

1991   (5-6) L playoffs semifinal vs Barcelona Dragons 

1992   (7-2-1) L playoffs semifinal @ Orlando Thunder

OK. Let me spell it out for you.

 

He has a strong leg, so he was used on kickoffs in college because of unlimited rosters. He couldn't kick for accuracy, so he didn't get a chance to kick PATs. He made some long field goals, but he still may not have the accuracy required to make 95+% of PATs.

 

I'm betting NFL scouts know this about him.

that's what the NFL Training Camp is going to be for when he signs with an NFL team that needs a kicker.
