Sure it overlooks the fact that a lot of the best NFLers would clean up in the CFL and never play here because of the salary disparities but that doesn't change the fact that a lot of NFLers would get eaten alive in the CFL.

Maybe I'm looking at it from the wrong point of view, but I see it this way. Most star NFLers are miles away from star CFLers. You can't tell me that the top QBs in the NFL (let's say Brees, Manning, Brady, and Rivers) wouldn't light up the CFL. However, I know for a fact that Burris, Calvillo, and Ray would flame out in the NFL.
There may be less talent disparity between the bottom and mid-tier and NFL players, and the star players of the CFL but then that's not a fair comparisson. At that point you need to be comparing them with the bottom and mid-tier players of the CFL and, at that point, I think the gap widens again.
