The larger field must surely make it harder to cover too.
If it is a talent issue, wouldn't the incredibly talented NFL receivers break down coverages?

This is such a logically flawed argument, yet I see it from CFL fans all the time. So Brandon Browner got the 3rd or 4th CB spot on a team with one of the weakest secondaries in the league and it's indicative of the CFL talent being on par with the NFL? Of the dozens of CFL players that get tryouts with NFL teams every year, how many of them actually become impact players in the NFL? In the last 10 years I can really only think of Cameron Wake. I guess you could argue Stefan Logan but I wouldn't really call him an impact player.
