I'm not sure the Browns could score 40+ against anyone with Kizer at QB and that OL. I mean seriously.

Ridiculous...
If both teams are to played in a neutral field and both teams are told to perform to their maximum potential for 60 minutes, regardless of the score, I seriously think Brown would put 50-65 points.
They would beat Alabama 63-13 or something.
The pride of men (stronger and faster and more athletic men) vs college kids.
Dumb comparison.
Especially with Jalen Hurts and only one receiver. Jalen Hurts is adequate I guess for Alabama but he is not NFL caliber. DeShone Kizer is probably a better qb and that is saying something.
That said Jalen Hurts doens't throw INTs like Kizer does. I'd probably have to go with Hurts on that basis if I was an NFL coach. Browns have the worst turnover differential in the league by a big margin.
The bama defense could put up a showing against the Browns and keep them to say 27 points.
THe problem is the bama offense would get dominated beyond belief. Best to run the ball into the line 3 times or throw bubble screens and punt all game. Might get 3 first downs all game.
NFL corners would jam up the receivers, who would never get off the ball (even Ridley). Put 7/8 in the box and blow up every play in seconds.
Because of the speed and violence in the NFL, there is no sport with a more dramatic jump in talent from college.
IMO, I would comfortably lay 56, if I knew the Browns would keep the foot on the throat (figure 14-0 easily per quarter).
And, as someone mentioned above, I would feel for the safety of the Bama players
These threads are great. Mainly to see how little some folks know about the difference in talent college vs pro. If you lined Cleveland up today, after going 1-31 and then listening to idiots say "Bama has a chance", it would be a felony. Aside from obvious talent gap, don't dismiss grown man pride factor.
Cleveland could tell Alabama that they are only running the ball, and still score every possession. Crowell and Johnson Jr would run it down their throats all day.
There are pro amateur exhibitions often. And usually the pro teams don't win by insane margins.
They used to have hockey in the Olympics vs american amateurs. Remember the US team in 1980 beat a Russian team that could play against the NHL all stars?
The gap between the worst pro team and best college team is just not as much as people think. A lot of these Alabama players don't play in the pros simply because of their size, or beccause their speed isn't enough to get past pro players.
MOst of the Alabama players will have a shot at the NFL and some of them will make it. So who's fooling who. We're playing the CLEVELAND BROWNS not some good NFL team.
jmo of course. this debate will go on forever. Like I said from the same people who thought the US Olympic Team had 0 chance in 1980 and it was a formality.
If you want to talk about how great Deshone Kizer, Hue Jackson and the like will dominate Alabama though, be my guest 
THe issue with ALabama is not the defense, it's the offense. It couldnt' move the ball against Clemson, it has one wide receiver, and Hurts won't be able to run. They can't get a first down, and that would be the biggest problem.
THe over/under on Alabama total points would be -.5 +400, literally.
Looking at a mock draft they have 4 Alabama players to be selected in the FIRST ROUND. These guys are expected to contribute and fairly quickly.
According to this article the selection in the 1st round:
4: Fitzpatrick DB
14. Payne DT
30. Evans LB
32. Harrison S
Notice no offensive guys. THat's why I said their offense would get killed in the NFL, but their defense could at least compete.
If it was the other way around-the defense was as bad as their offense-the blowout would be extreme. But it isn't.
Jmo. Of course there will never be a right answer cause they'll never play.
