WFL vs USFL
My apologies if this has already been a thread in the past, but between both leagues collectively - players and coaching combined - which of these two was the stronger league? I'm sure most will say USFL and if so, by how much?

Re: WFL vs USFL
The USFL, since they were able to get actual good college talent to play for them, and helped develop some that needed a little seasoning--Sam Mills springs to mind. Plus, they didn't have to go head-to-head in playing their games.74_75_78_79_ wrote:My apologies if this has already been a thread in the past, but between both leagues collectively - players and coaching combined - which of these two was the stronger league?

The time frames of their starts couldn't have been more different: the WFL was begun in the midst of a bad recession, while the USFL began when the economic recovery started to pick up.

The USFL had some interesting coaches. George Allen, Dick Coury, Mouse Davis, Chuck Fairbanks, Marv Levy, Jim Mora, Steve Spurrier...even Lee Corso and Pepper Rodgers.

USFL, IMO. They had more money, got good college players and some of their NFL raids were better than the WFL raids in NFL players.74_75_78_79_ wrote:My apologies if this has already been a thread in the past, but between both leagues collectively - players and coaching combined - which of these two was the stronger league?

I like seeing Mouse, Pepper, and co. in those USFL "bloopers" style VHS's. Still pop those in every couple years.Bryan wrote:The USFL had some interesting coaches. George Allen, Dick Coury, Mouse Davis, Chuck Fairbanks, Marv Levy, Jim Mora, Steve Spurrier...even Lee Corso and Pepper Rodgers.
