cddolphin Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Now the talent level is there, but this would be a schematic mish-mash of all kinds of players. Coaching is just as important as talent, does this team get a summer full of minicamp, OTAs, and some pre-season games? There will still be the rookie wall a lot of young guys hit when they transition to the next level. More games, harder hits, more complex schemes. I say they go 1-15. They grab a game somewhere in weeks 4-6 after some cohesion is established but before they get worn down. EDIT: Didn't read the OP clearly, I think this team would beat the Browns maybe 1 in 20 times. If this squad replaced an NFL team and played a 16 game schedule, they might get lucky and grab 1 win.

The Gnat Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Just now, tom cody said: They might make it close but I doubt it. Agreed. I think they would hang around for a little while, and I'm basing this on them having a full off season to workout together, learn the playbook, and have already played some college games so they are in game shape together. The first half would be somewhat close, but I think the Browns would end up winning still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 If you gave both teams the same amount of practice time, with a brand new scheme, brand new coaching, on a neutral site, in the first game of the season, without any tune up games... I'd give it about a 1 out of 5 shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET80 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I'd say no...but a few lucky bounces, a missed call or two, maybe some weather conditions... ...yeah, I'd still say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are three primary reasons that I would say the answer is still no, although they might be able to take 1/10 or 1/20 matchups. 1) As others have mentioned, these players wouldn't have the benefit of team cohesion. This is something that is actually lost vs. the "could Alabama beat the Browns?" questions. 2) The NFL team has the benefit of development. Players are still not at their peak level as rookies. 3) Survivorship favors the NFL team. By that I mean that the NFL team has culled those who were drafted, but couldn't cut it from their roster. Those that remain are ostensibly the best 53 guys that were available to the team through draft/FA over the past X number of years. There are reasons that may not be the case exactly (salary cap, rebuilding, etc.), but the concept remains in tact. The hypothetical team of draftees includes a bunch of guys who will assuredly be out of the league (and/or not be able to get on the field) in a relatively short time.

Hunter2_1 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Who's coaching them? Because if you stick someone like Meyer or Chryst against Hue, I'd have a hard time picking Hue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
