Beat the best CFL (Canadian Football League) team?

3-4 touchdowns?

Chad Johnson said this after his first CFL game..."the level of competition is really not that far off from the NFL and the speed of the game is equivalent.”

What about the worst CFL team vs the best NCAA team?

Thoughts?

A CFL team could probably pull off a 4-12, 3-13 season in the NFL.

CFL team would win nearly every time.

Seeing as he's been demoted to the CFL from the NFL, of course he would say that to save face.

There's a reason those guys are playing in Canada.

What a joke. No elite player chooses the CFL over the NFL, and it's very rare that a CFL player becomes even a serviceable NFL player. Cam Wake is the only player I can think of in the last 10 years that came from the CFL and made a huge impact in the NFL.

The best CFL team would usually beat the worst NFL team, if playing by CFL rules, I'd guess.

He probably actually believes that because he's comparing his experience as a young and Spry WR in the NFL vs being an old (very old) WR with zero explosion playing in the CFL

No way, 0-16 with a huge average margin of defeat.

I cant see a CFL team beating a NFL team, I just cant. Most CFL players were NFL rejects.

I do wonder how a CFL team would fair against say Bama, FSU, LSU, Stanford, etc.

The CFL team would win regardless of the rules. You have to remember that only a small percentage of players from 2014 Alabama or LSU team makes it to pro football at all levels NFL, CFL, arena. It's not like 10 guys a year from Alabama or LSU go to the NFL.

A CFL team will have more talent and be older and more experienced that a college team. Most likely have more speed and run more sophisticated offenses and defenses.

I don't know anything about the CFL but anything better than 0-16 would shock me.

Any team that can go 3-13 in the NFL would be up 4 touchdowns on the best NCAA team at halftime.

Every. Single. Time.

Uh, not sure where you've been lately, but it's almost exactly like that.

A CFL team would get curbstomped by any NFL team. It is extremely rare for a CFL player to really make it in the NFL. It does happen, but there aren't a lot of them.

Okay, I knew LSU had a lot of guys drafted this year. LOL. I hope everyone makes a team, but I still say that a CFL would beat Alabama.

I think an All-Star NCAA team like all first rounders would beat the worst CFL team, but would the best NCAA team beat the worst CFL team? I think the CFL team would win.
