CFL Versus NFL Game

not to rip the cfl but.......no way they stand a chance.on a regulation field,i think they would lose to alot of top 25 teams also.about the cfl players getting a fair shot in the nfl,the players who try out definitly get a fair go because the nfl is all about winning and putting the best product on the field

We do get some CFL games here, and like college, you can tell that the talent level is MUCH lower. You keep insisting that no one here knows about the CFL or else they'd agree with you, but if that's the best response you've got, this thread is pointless (no facts, just agree with me statements means there's not much point in debate).

4.8 linebackers just don't have much of a shot in the NFL, but can easily make it in college or the CFL. The difference in speed at every position is what tilts it so heavily in favor of the NFL. There are NFL running backs that could outrun most (if not all) CFL DBs. Most people in the CFL that get a chance jump to the NFL for the money or to play at the highest level etc, so that means the CFL is mainly 2nd tier talent (and i mean the guys that leave are generally competing for 3rd and 4th string jobs, not to be starters). If you don't recognize that then i'm not sure why its worth my time to reply :/

Combine all of the players from the CFL, NFLE, Australian Rules FB, and all other Foreign teams.

Now have an NFL FA Draft.

You might see 20-25 players become either 3-4th stringers in the NFL or become NFL training camp fodder.

Only a very small percentage are NFL ready. That's why you will not see such a FA draft.

That is why the College All-Star game vs. the NFL Champs was discontinued years ago. No contest.

I like the CFL and find the games fun to watch but as has been previously stated, there is no way the CFL could compete with the NFL. The CFL vs NFL Europe would be a more interesting and competitive game.

i think the cfl is a waste of time and money arena football is the best :towel:

First off, welcome to the board armchair.

I used to watch the CFL when I was a kid in the Warren Moon days but haven't really followed it since. However I don't think your suggestion is so crazy.

The first thing to realize is - IT'S A DIFFERENT GAME. The field is huge, there's only 3 downs, etc.

Because of this I DO think a CFL all-star team could beat an NFL team, under the following conditions:

- the game would be played on a CFL field with CFL rules
- the CFL all-stars would have ample time to practice with each other before the game
- the NFL team would have to be bad, and have had little time to prepare

So if the game was arranged where a team like the Texans would play on a CFL field, on their bye week for example, then I think the CFL team would win.

And yes, if the scenario above ever unfolds, I will take all your action. You don't even have to give me any points.

Now if it was a game between the CFL all-stars and the NFL all-stars, and the NFL guys had some time to prepare, then yes I think it would be very ugly.

What I'd like to see is the ProBowl using CFL rules. I mean the ProBowl is useless anyways. No one cares and no one wants to get hurt. So why not shake up the rules and turn it into a track meet? I mean could you imagine Santana or Steve Smith running wild all over that huge field?

Here's one way to look at this. Joe Theismann played three years in Canada and won three championships. When he came to the Resdkins he was third string behind Billy and Sonny for one season and then second string behind Billy for another two and a half. Now some of that was because George Allen was a Billy homer, but Kilmer's record as a starter was like 51-26, so its not like there was a groundswell to put Joe in.

The reason for the disparity is simple. Nobody that is good enough to play in the NFL would choose to play in the CFL. It is a second tier league. Not that upsets don't happen. The "replacement" Redskins led by parolee quarterback Tony Robinson defeated a Cowboys team with at least a dozen regular players including Tony Dorsett. So, I suppose anything is possible.

Update: I do think the CFL is a great place for QBs to gain playing experience or to put off the field problems behind them. (Mike Sellers)

Sean Salisbury was a Grey Cup-winning beast in the CFL.
