One of the dumbest things I've ever heard they just said during the Ohio State game

Idiotic.

The most inept NFL teams would beat them by 30+

Only if they let up halfway through the 2nd quarter.

Every year someone makes a comment about the best college team being able to compete with the worst NFL team.

An FCS team would never beat a top 5 Michigan team.

Not the same.

Name a closer comparison that actually happens.

A better example would be Corner Canyon vs Weber St. CC would get killed.

NIL might make the enormous the gap between college and the NFL a little smaller

It might get there someday. Today. It is not close.

NIL still won't give you a full team of NFL caliber players. And NIL will not

Good comparison.

It's a question I asked when I was 8. Seriously I did.

It's true. Too many ways to choose from to gash em.

I will die on this CB hill: the gap isn’t as wide as people think. How many NFL

That's 3 players, only 19 more to go.

Yep. NFL has 22 of “those” players starting, and another 31 waiting on the sideline

The Steelers wish they had one of Daniels, Nabers, and BTJ on their team

I dunno- I think the thing with the NFL is that they are really good

Totally disagree. NFL players are full time players, they are at the peak of strength(age)for men, and their teams spend

I’m not saying a college team would win, but I don’t think the quote in your OP

He said an NFL team would have trouble matching up against their lineup. College teams just don't

T/F: NFL teams would struggle to keep up with LSU’s 2023 skill position talent

Odysseus

Oct 5, 2:33pm

False. They wouldn't because the lines would get blown up and it wouldn't matter.

CSoul

Oct 5, 2:35pm

We’re talking past each other. Put the lines aside and answer the question

Odysseus

Oct 5, 2:37pm

Sure, but that's not what the announcer was referencing though. Of course there is NFL talent on teams

CSoul

I do think 20-30 years ago the difference was closer before the amount of money in the NFL went crazy.

That MAY be true…but the difference will be offensive and defensive lines and

Actually, the gap is wider than you think

It doesn't matter. Their offense would get shredded by any nfl defense. Speed,

Most nfl teams had better than that. Then add in the other 19 players that are

I’m just talking skill position players. Let’s look at where some rookies rank

Yeah there are guys that move to the next level and can mesh well. This

12 ohio state players drafted in 2016. Which is remarkably good for a college

"Talent" is developed with experience, coaching, conditioning, and age. So,

If your argument is the 2015 team has as much talent as an NFL team, then we are
