I can see why the NFL is preferable to some people, but basing that preference on essentially understanding nothing about the difference between the games is annoying.

I do understand the difference in feild side and how it makes things harder for the defense and easier for the offense. Offense will pick apart defense easier, but when I look at the two games and the average defense between teams, CFL DBs look worst then their counterparts in the NFL. If you stick NFL DBs to cover CFL, I wouldn't hesitate to say that defense would imrpove on the CFL side.
Besides, only the best DBs play in the NFL. If a CFL DB was good enough and can fit on someone team with a good enough role, they would be down there rather then up here.
