In this thread, people are actually arguing that the difference between the top college teams and the worst NFL teams is negligible. It's hard to fathom that level of stupidity.

For a little while. Then when the Browns stopped laughing it'd be over.

The vast majority of Bama and OU’s players aren’t ready to play in the NFL right now.

What a silly question. The Browns would wipe the floor with any combination of college players.

In 1963 a college all-star team beat Vince Lombardi and the then-current NFL champion Green Bay Packers 20-17. Facty

The Browns 2nd team would beat the shite out of a college allstar team.

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.

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

So is the college game. The Overage OL in college probably averaged 250.

No, but they would be national champions every year.
Wait, Alabama already is. Never mind.

Not quite sure how people still don’t understand this concept. Nearly every player on the Browns roster was a star in college.. benchwarmers and starters for the Browns were stars in college. Most of the players for Oklahoma and Alabama won’t even be drafted. Not to mention the age gap between the two. It would be slaughter.
