The fact that some people in this thread are seriously arguing a college all-star team would have a chance is mind blowing.


The thread has been silly from the start but it really went to the Twilight Zone when the old NFL vs college all stars was brought up. Back when the all stars had a chance (and even occasionally won), the NFL players had off season jobs! Now all they do is train with the best equipment, learn from the best coaches and use the best performing enhancing drugs year round.

That game was played up until 1976. The Super Bowl Champion Steelers won by only 7 in 1975 with Terry Bradshaw at QB. If people think it would be that lopsided, then they probably need to rethink how good some of the legends like Bradshaw, Swann, Harris, Green, Ham, etc are.

Link to Bradshaw having a terrible game against college kids

NFL players have gotten better but so have college players. If the gap in 1975 wasn't that big between the Super Bowl champs and an all star team, then why do people think an all-American team that could have underclassmen as well wouldn't be able to compete with the worst NFL teams now?
