NFL Is Five Years Behind College?!
#37
College football experiments more because teams are not made up of the caliber of talent that NFL teams are. However, much of what is done in the collegiate game will not work at the NFL level because of the amount of talent there is on NFL teams.

Prime example if the high volume of running by the QB in college football. Not going to work in the NFL and has been proven time and time again. The athletes on the defensive side of the ball are all too big, strong, and fast to subject a player as valuable as the NFL QB to this form of constant abuse. These defensive players relish the idea of the QB turning runner so that they can hit him like the hit a RB. Look at a guy the size of Cam Newton. Even his running has become far more selective due to the abuse he was taking and the toll it was taking on a body as big and strong as his.

Yeah there is always going to be innovation and experimenting at the collegiate level and yeah there is going to be things that filter over to the NFL game and will be successful but I believe in large part a lot of the college game is not going to directly relate to the NFL game and that is because everyone at the NFL level is there because they have a high degree of talent relatively speaking in comparison to a collegiate roster.
