After seeing a thread comment about Florida struggling against the NFL's worst team, got me thinking. Reading the linked article, the Old College All Star game was played in pre-season between top college seniors from previous season and the NFL champ from previous year. The all stars actually won 9 of the 44 games before the game was discontinued.

Idea: revise the game with the all stars playing the NFL's worst team the week after the Super Bowl and IF the NFL's worst team can beat the Allstate, then they get to pick their 7 draft picks from the all star group before the rest of the league gets to pick their first! Instant recovery from being the worst in the league.**

Hurts struggles vs good college defenses (lsu and Florida). The browns would beat bama by 35 points or more.

I would like to see a college Allstars team play the worst NFL team. They wouldn't win, but I'd like to see how they do.

Me thinks you give the Cleveland Browns too much credit.

Wouldn't even be close.

Do do you think a team of high school all stars could beat a college team?

Me thinks you give the Cleveland Browns too much credit.

OM scored 43 on bama. Bama scored 10 on lsu. Are you seriously thinking bama could play with a professional team?

I'm old enough to remember watching those NFL-college games. To say the NFL team took the game lightly would be an understatement. Look at NFL preseason now....starters play a couple series or a qtr the first game or two....same here. Some times the starting QB didn't play at all. They sure as heck didn't want to chance getting a starter hurt against a college team made up of individuals wanting to make a name for themselves.

Depends on the college. There are certainly college teams that could lose to high schoolers.

You do realize what all of you are wanting is basically an NFL All Rookie team vs the Browns?

All star teams have to run such basic schemes, it would be difficult to out-play a team that is already more physical. Alabama would probably stand a better chance than an all star team, but they'd still get murdalized.
