This year's All-SEC team would beat..

the Detroit Lions, and give Cleveland or STL all they could handle

ima use the Lions, they were the first team I thought of;

Lions starting QB-Matt Stafford
SEC QB-Tim Tebow(UF)
adv-SEC

Lions starting RB-Kevin Smith
SEC RB-Charles Scott (LSU) ((could be 5 different guys))*
adv-SEC

DET starting WR#1-Calvin Johnson**
SEC WR 1-AJ Green(UGA)***
adv-DET

DET WR2-Bryant Johnson
SEC WR2-Julio Jones(BAMA)
adv-SEC

DET TE-Brandon Pettigrew
SEC TE-Richard ****son(LSU)
adv-DET

DET OT's-Cherlius, Backus****
SEC OT's-Ciron Black(LSU), John Jerry(MISS)
adv-PUSH

DET G's-Loper, Peterman
SEC G's-Ma. Pouncey(UF), Mike Johnson(BAMA)
adv.-DET

DET C-Raiola
SEC C-Josh McNeil(UT)
adv-SEC

DET DE's-Jason Hunter, Dewayne White
SEC DE's-Carlos Dunlap(UF), Antonio Coleman(AUB)*****
adv-SEC

DET DT's-Grady Jackson, Sammie Hill
SEC DT's-Terrence Cody(BAMA), Geno Atkins(UGA)******
adv-SEC

DET LB's-Ernie Sims, Larry Foote, Julian Peterson*******
SEC LB's-Brandon Spikes(UF), Rolando McClain, Eric Norwood
adv-SEC

DET CB's-Anthony Henry, Phillip Buchanon
SEC CB's-Trevard Linley, Janoris Jenkis********
adv-SEC

DET S's-Louis Delmas, Kalvin Pearson
SEC S's-Eric Berry, Ahmad Black
adv-SEC

okay, now lets add them all up;
DET position wins-3
SEC-8

Therefore, I predict that the postseason All-SEC team would beat the Lions, by a TD at least.

if anyone is interested, i like doin **** like this, so if you want to suggest a team that could beat another team, i.e. All Big XII v. All Pac10, or All-SEC vs. All-rest of nation.

ima add some notes;
*Bryce Brown or Mark Ingram were VERY close to being my pick for RB.

**Calvin Johnson is the best WR in the NFL, and if he ever gets a good QB and a good running game to help, he will be the best EVER.

***If it was any WR in the NFL aside from Fitz, Calvin, Boldin, Moss,Andre Johnson, I would have probably put AJ Green ahead. He will be a top 10 pick, and a NFL superstar. He is Randy Moss Jr., just like Julio is TO-lite. Julio is a bigger, faster, tougher, better hands Terrell Owens, and Green is a Moss clone.

****The SEC OT's are great, really good players, but Cherlius is a great player as well, he is at least as good as Black.

*****Carlos Dunlap by himself is better than the Detroit DE's. Not really, but he will be a top 10 draft pick, and he will average 10+ sacks in the NFL.

******Terrence Cody is like a super-Grady Jackson. I didnt do that intentionally, but Jackson is a lot like Cody. But Cody is bigger, stronger, faster.

*******Here is the most controversial pick. Detroit's LB's are their best position on the team, they have three good, very capable starters, with one being a former All-NFL player in Peterson. But, the SEC has three great LB's, three that all will be as good as Peterson, or better. McClain, Spikes and Norwood will all be 1st round picks, Rolando and Spikes will be top 15 picks, talent wise.

********Jenkins is great, he will be a 1st round pick, but I could have put anyone. Truth be told, Patrick Peterson at LSU could be the best CB, just not yet. He could potentially be a top 5 pick. I thought about Haden too, but his size is not as good as Jenkins.

*********Eric Berry makes the S's better by a mile. There is only 3-4 S's in the NFL that are better than Berry right now. Ed Reed, Polomalu, Otougwe, that might be all that I would say are better than EB right now.

Well, I was talking just in terms of pure talent. Brown's talent is evident every time he touches the ball, he will be a great one.
Hardesty has looked GREAT today, he is a beast, but I feel like in three years, Brown will be better than Hardesty ever was.

not a chance. you put any college team against the worst of the worst of the NFL and the NFL team will win. the all SEC team would still be all rookies against (mostly) proven NFL talent. Stafford would school Tebow if they squared off with the team's you suggest. Tebow will have a big learning curve when he gets to the NFL. don't get me wrong, as a UT fan it hurts me to say but I LOVE to watch TEBOW play, think he is a great player but right now his style doesn't translate great to the NFL. I do think he will play on Sundays, or at least hold a clipboard.
sorry, I disagree that the All SEC team could beat the Lions

Agreed on long term. I'm talking about a team right now.

Starbuck, I think that's the point. Any college team wouldn't because you've got weak points on your team. An SEC all conference team could be a very different story.

I don't think so, even an All SEC team would be lost with the speed of the pro game. Look at how many top picks in the draft are lost.

im sorry, you are wrong.

the All-SEC team will have at least 10 first round picks, if they all go Pro.

the SEC players are proven, they play in the toughest conference, against other nfl-caliber players. Stafford sucks, he has a cannon but he is very inaccurate and throws tons of picks.

If you disagree, what positions would the Lions have over the all-SEC team?
How would the Lions beat them? They would not be able to run the ball,the SEC team would kill the Lions running game. I would bet the Lions would have less than 75 yards rushing. There is no way the Lions could run the ball on that front seven.
the All-SEC front seven would be almost as good as any front seven in the NFL.
They are gonna pass on them? How? bracket coverage on Calvin, the Lions are shut down.
Could the Lions stop the SEC team? Doubtful.
The all-SEC WR's are better than the Detroit CB's by a mile.

There is no way the Lions could beat the All-SEC team.
Detroit would beat Florida, but everyone off the All-SEC team will be drafted, probably in the first 4 rounds.

But since you dont think so, play it out.
Show me how the Lions could possibly beat the All-SEC team

I think what Biggin' is saying though, is that the players are better than what the Lions have. If the Lions were able to draft all of those players, they'd be starting over who they have.

rookies against proven vets, not even close IMO. Rookies, no matter where they are from ,are still rookies. Individual's may me more talented but if that is all it would take the Cowboys or Redskins would have "bought" them a ring by now. the long term potential of these players is huge, no doubt but as rookies, sorry but a few will also be bust.

but the few that you say will be a 'bust' are STILL better than the Lions players.

you seem like you wont change your mind at all, im sorry that you cant fathom that a team with better players would beat a team with lesser players.

how many of the Lions are proven vets? 2. that right, they have 2!!! proven players.
Calvin and Julian Peterson

you obviously dont realize how good the All-SEC team will be. i think when more people start posting, you will realize you are wrong

I know the Lions went 0-16 last year. I think we will agree they will be better this year. Last year they had chances to win. here are a few that were close

Vikings - lost by 2. score 12-10
Texans - lost by 7. score 28-21
Skins - lost by 8. score 25-17
Bears - lost by 4. score 27-23
Panthers by 9. score 22-31
Vikings - lost by 4. score 20-16
Colts by 10 & Packers by 10. score in both games 31-21.
http://www.pro-football-reference.co...s/det/2008.htm

Just like the Fins the year before at 1-15, they were in a lot of games. not only that but in games against some playoff teams.

I guess we will disagree.

The Lions would kill an all SEC Team. I really can't believe this is even being discussed.

You're crazy.

Let's look at this;
How many players on that team, do you think will be potential NFL Pro Bowlers from the All-SEC team? now the Lions?

How many starters will come from the All-SEC team? Now, how many of Detroit's starters would be starters on any other NFL team?

Now, how many players from the All-SEC team will be washouts from the NFL in five years. How many current starters from the Lions will be out of the NFL in five years?

IMO, Any NFL team would dominate the NCAA All-America team, much less the All Sec team.

If they were to play 2 series a piece then maybe the college teams would have a chance, but you gotta realize the starters aren't the only ones that play. NFL players would just beat down the smaller college players.

Every player in the NFL was somewhat of a star at their college, you might have better talent starting but an NFL team is going to bring in people just as good behind the starters.

This is as absurd as these folks who say that a good high school team could beat a bad college team:confused:. Seriously folks

do you guys just not want to even consider it, or are you considering it fully, and dismissing it?

an All-American team almost always has the first 30 picks in the next years NFL draft.

lets look at it this way;

would a team with only the most highly rated rookies beat the Lions?

your smokeing crack rocks if you think the all american team could play with the lions back ups.

its just a step above.

OK, pull up a draft class. take the 2000 class. That will give 8 full years of playing in the NFL. excluding injury reasons take a look and the top 30 draft picks and see how "GREAT" these top 30 picks have panned out.

I think you under estimate how big of a jump it is from college star to NFL player, and a bigger leap from college star to NFL starter

There are FIVE players off that list that I didnt immediately recognize as a capable NFL starter.

that proves my point.

Jamal Reynolds-never had an impact
Rod Gardner isnt on a team.
Willie Middlebrook is in the CFL
Jamar Fletcher isnt on a team
Derrick Gibson is out of the league

Now, lets look at the rest;Here are the pro bowlers from that list;
Mike Vick
LT
Reggie Wayne
Todd Heap
Deuce McCallister
Richard Seymour
Leonard Davis
Casey Hampton
Nate Clements
Marcus Stroud
Santana Moss
Steve Huchinson

thats 12 TWELVE former pro-bowlers from that team, more than any single team in the NFL had last year.

Thanks for proving my point.
The top 22 players on both sides of the ball from the 2001 draft would beat the Detroit Lions.

Players that never panned out;
Courtney Brown
Travis Taylor
Stockar McDougle
Sylvester Morris (injuries, so you said not to count that)
Chris McIntosh (neck injury)
Reshard Anderson
Erik Flowers
r jay soward
Trung Candidate

That means out of 31 players, only 7 SEVEN were not capable NFL starters

Pro-Bowlers;
LaVar Arrington
Chris Samuels
Jamal Lewis
Thomas Jones
Brian Urlacher
Plax Burress (all Pro, actually better than pro bowl)
Shaun Ellis
John Abraham
Bubba Franks
Julian Peterson
Deltha O'Neil
Shaun Alexander
Chad Pennington (alternate)
Chris Hovan
Keith Bullock

that is 15!!! FIFTEEN players out of 31 that have made a pro-bowl
you are just making my point for me.

What you don't realize is that it takes more than 22 to play! Come on biggin, this is insane. Special teams, depth, third down backs, nickel backs, etc.

the big mistake you are making is you are looking at what these guys have become. you are saying take the top draft picks, put them on a team and they would beat the Lions. How many of these guys made an impact their rookie season? how many made the pro-bowl their rookie season. you are wanting to take rookies from the top of the dradft or the All SEC team and put them on a team against a team of pro's and the Lions win that game. Sure, if you keep that "all star" team together for 2 or 3 years and let them mature but as rookies, not a chance.

and the Steelers had how many pro-bowlers on their CHAMPIONSHIP team? 3 or 4? having 12 pro-bowlers don't make you a championship team. Ask the Jets or the Cowboys. Plus you will have Mike Vick leading your team. If I recall, almost everyone was putting him down as a starting qb for the Falcons.

We will disagree on this one.

Are you serious?
Do you not realize the talent level on that team alone would make them a touchdown favorite over any team in the NFL.

Now you guys are just getting picky, you cant expect to take this as literal as you are taking it, most kickers arent selected in the first round, only 32 players isnt a team, yeah i know, but thats not the point nor the concept.
I am saying, the talent level on these teams when it gets to the NFL makes it a very powerful team. Yeah, everybody needs depth and kickers and special teams, but when talking about the 22 major starting positions, if they were the starters on any NFL team, as rookies, they would beat the Detroit Lions.

the 2000 NFL draft team, the one he brought up, would destory most NFL teams, with the 32 players in the first round as starters on a team.

There are a couple of RBs down on the plains makin a lil noise as well...by season's end they'll prolly be as good a RB tandem as there is in the SEC.

I dunno about that;

By the end of the year, every team will have two great rushers.

I like Alabama's personally hah, with Ingram running all over VT and Trent Richardson rushing for 100 yards and 2 TD's against FIU, with Upchurch and Grant coming in to throw teams off, itll be tough for anyone to stop Alabama from running the ball.

I'd take Tate and McCalebb over any tandem in the SEC..AU has quite an arsenal at their disposal this year. Their best WR is yet to play at this point as well. And still, there's Fannin and Smith...and IMO Burns does a pretty good job of runnin the wildcat. Auburn is very likely to go into the UT game 4-0...and as the confidence builds they may have a legitimate say in who represents the west in the SEC title game.

dude, take off the awwbarn glasses

AU doesnt have the best tandem, they dont have the 3rd best tandem in the West.

LSU's is better (Scott, Holliday, Williams)
Alabama's is better, by a lot (Ingram,Richardson, Upchurch, Grant)
Arkansas is better (Smith, Broderick Green ((USC transfer)
In the East;
UF's are better(Demps, Rainey)
UT are better(Brown, Hardesty, Oku)
UGA is better (King and Samuel and Thomas)
