but i do agree that he certainly would go, as he is a competitor and wants to be the best.
Sure, entertainment value might be something that can't be measured very well as each fan likes different things, but from a talent and skill level it's no contest between the NFL and CFL.

Sure the CFL has it's quirks in which sometimes an oversized linebacker in the NFL wouldn't be able to play in the CFL because the field is too wide and passing too prevalent for him to make the same impact as a smaller, faster player. However outside of a few exceptions like that, if you replaced the Stamps roster entirely with the roster of the 0-11 Detroit Lions, the Stamps would be better at each and every position. With the exception of maybe the Kicker. Even if Browner makes it with an NFL team, it's going to be as the 4th or 5th corner only really getting on the turf for special teams and the dime package (And he's pretty much the dominant corner in the CFL). I am a Stamps season ticket holder and a NFL Sunday Ticket subscriber and hands down the NFL is more quality football. There's something to be said for watching the absolute best in the world play.
