re: Would Oklahoma's O with Bama's D beat the Cleveland browns?

So much wrongness in this post. NFL athletic training was in it infancy at this time. The money wasn't there to invest in staff and equipment. athletic science has become a multi billion dollar industry since then.

Fast forward to now. Any one NFL team makes more money by far than any college team out there. Hell the salary cap for the players is nearly three times what any college team makes in a season.

The point is the pro players jobs are to live, eat, and breath football. To the point where even great college players will wash out if they don't adopt this mentality. That is why the draft is a crapshoot.

That wasn't the case in 75. They didn't have to money or the knowledge to invest in increasing athletic performance oh but boy they do now.

College on the other hand are still STUDENT athletes. They still have to go to class and live the college lifestyle for a scholarship while working out when they can. On Wednesday at 10:00 am when say Baker Mayfield is in his 3rd history class. Drew brees has already gotten in his first workout with performance doctors imput. Watched a couple hours of game film, and is suiting up for practice.

NFL is a completely different animal than it was in 75
