It is so ridiculous.
Couple points that I'd like to make that people always seem to forget in these stupid scenarios.
The Chicago College All-Star games were College all-star teams. That's all the best players in all of college football and they still only won a few games and that was all in the era before the forward pass was invented.
Think about the seniors on your favorite college football team. Now think about where they were when they were freshmen on that team, assuming they were even starting or getting any playing time at all. Now imagine the best players in all of college football with another 3 4 5 6 or 7 years of pro experience with the best coaches, trainers, facilities and equipment in all of football.
Also, how many players on Alabama's team make it to the pros? Cuz last time I checked every player on the Browns roster is an NFL player.
It would be a fricking Slaughter. The best college football team ever could play the worst pro team ever and the Pro team would curb stomp them 98 times out of a hundred and merely beat the frick out of them the other two times

You ever hear of the steel curtain?
The Steeler beat the All Star team by 7 points one year.
All Start teams had only a couple of weeks together to prepare, under coaches they didn’t even know. The teams they played were world championship teams that had played together for years.
As for the NFL players being “part time”, by the seventies, that was long past.
A top college team can have NFL Calibre talent at every starting position. In an avg year, certain teams have ten or more future FIRST ROUND draft picks their roster. You can’t find and NFL team where that is the case.
Point being this whole attitude that the shitiest NFL team could pick the score even the greatest college teams is crap. It’s just not reality.
On a given day, the browns could lose against a quality college team. There is no doubt.
Some of you younger people scoff at anything that happened prior to the year 2000 and idealize current NFL players as God’s.
Hell, I still haven’t seen a better guard than Hannah and he hung it up almost 40 years ago. Same goes for Butkus.
In fact, historically speaking, due to rules changes, players today are pussies in comparison. I’d like to see today’s recievers cope with being mugged all the way down the field.
