I would argue that the athletes are tailored to a different game in the CFL. If you want to compare QB's, then obviously the NFL has a much higher caliber. But many other positions a tailored differently.

Would anyone here says Pinball Clemons isn't as good an athlete as anyone in the NFL? There's no way he'd ever get a shot down there because he's just wayyy too small. But to say he isn't as good of an athlete is wrong in my opinion. And that would go for many players up here. There is no way Nik Lewis could play in the NFL due to size. He'd get crushed. But does size make an athlete better than another? You can't have 300lb guys in the CFL because there is a lot more gournd to cover. Agility and speed are key. Defensive players have a lot more room to cover, as do linebackers, and if you put an NFL size guy up there, he won't work. Just like if you put a CFL size guy in the NFL he won't work.
