Yeah, I agree. There are so many college teams but the talent only goes to the really prominent schools. Steve Spurrier used to really on merely the talent of the players he got. Now in Washington, it's much harder when there's more parity and more talent on all teams (however hard that is to believe). Defense especially is tougher in the NFL, which gives him troubles and keeps him from scoring 50 points like he did.

But I prefer NFL. The sloppy play in college is unimpressive. The slow tackles that are too high and to slow are one example. But that's okay, they're still teenagers, and they have homework to worry about. (some of them) I still watch on Saturday, despite the poorer play, because I support the local team.

The college game allows for truly different offenses and styles of play based on the talent at hand. Football fans prefer the college game because there is more to study and watch, where as the pro-game is so complex its hard to make sense of it with Ron Jaworski breaking down the film.

When you ask average talent to play complex schemes that their athletic ability does not call for, you are going to get boring play.
