Could you imagine, say, Brandon Jacobs running against CFL linebackers/defensive linemen? Not to mention the massive size difference in offensive and defensive lines. You rarely see missed tackles in the NFL. I love the CFL as much as the next guy, but it'd be a slaughterfest if you stacked 2 teams from their respective leagues against each other.....in the NFL's favor.

well, i think its closer than you think, but thats just my opinion. i mean, as far as talent goes nfl>cfl>ncaaf>cis etc. but they are different leagues requiring different players.
if the two leagues were to have a game, under cfl rules it would be close but the nfl team would probably pull it out as they get used to the rules. under hte nfl rules, yea it wouldnt be pretty.
there are many talented guys in the cfl who never got a chance in the nfl (or havent tried). i agree that the tackling would likely be the biggest difference. an nfl guy like brandon jacobs would be pretty good in the cfl, but an average qb would be lost for the first few games in the cfl.
but as i said before, we shouldnt really compare the two, they are both entertaining but different brands of football, with the nfl holding an advantage in talent obviously.
