This question based upon NFL scouts and others answers stating that they have a hard time with evaluations of players in the spread.
The Conundrum in this is held within the meaning of the word a confusing riddle, take a look at some of the response answers offered as to why the college game is not producing the type of players the NFL says it wants.
San Francisco 49'ers general manager Trent Baalke said- The college game is quite a bit different than the game we play, especially on the line of scrimmage.
Its harder and harder for professional scouts to evaluate how players will adjust to the more traditional offenses that are still dominate the NFL.
Oakland Raiders coach Jack Del Rio- There is a little bit of development once you get to the league.
You're still getting big,strong, talented young men with feet to move and ability to play.
But maybe their development isn't as far along as was when colleges were more closely aligned with what we're doing in the NFL.
Arizona Cardinal coach Bruce Arians- We're having to teach things we've never had to teach before.
The athletes are much, much better, but fundamentals are worse than they've ever been.
Tampa Bay general manager Jason Licht- Is there ever going to be a day a developmental league might rival college football.
As a scouting option for the NFL, I think it would be pretty beneficial for all of us.
All of us "obviously doesn't include the college game.
Conundrum almost sounds like a problem with the NFL not wanting to adapt to a changing game, while the NFL is saying it would like to cut down on some level of contact because of concussion concerns, coaches still want hard blocking on the line, with most of the action being confined to a small area, while the game of today at the college level is being played utilizing the entire field, this moves game away from weight into the magic word of athleticism.
Now this could be a good thing, think of it this way the best talent evaluator and teaching coaches will win games, simply because all of the work will not have been done already, and in a time when the game is moving into being able to teach future coaches who can't teach would be odd man out.
Dropping TV ratings even on Sunday's suggest the game will change one way or another,the marketplace will be the driver.
