Compare a current NHL player to a current NFL player

[MattMartin]

I think there might be some good comparisons to be made.

Couple of examples...

Crosby - Brady
Wilson - Burfict
Toews - Eli Manning

 

[Jumptheshark]

you are under the assumption that as hockey fans we care or know about this thing you call NFL

Eli, I said current players, come on man.

 

[DickSmehlik]

Crosby = Eli Manning.

Still a good player but his elite status is largely due to reputation now.

Eli, I said current players, come on man.

Either way its pretty far off

Yikes.

Why? Both players have won multiple championships and many feel they are overrated.

Martin St Louis = Shane Falco

 

[MattMartin]

Martin St Louis = Shane Falco

MSL would be closer to Flutie.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Doughty = Luke Kuechly (all-around defensive stalwarts)
Barzal = Alvin Kamara (breakout offensive rookie of the year)
Crosby = Tom Brady (model of consistency)
McDavid = Antonio Brown (most exciting player in the league)
Chara = Larry Fitzgerald (doesn't age)

Patrick Kane to pick your player

 

[Bounces R Way]

Steven Stamkos - Joe Flacco

[The Grim Reaper]

Because they both haven't shown up in the playoffs yet?

Crosby and Brady is obvious. Not sure of many others. I enjoy both sports but, to me, there's not many comparable players between the NHL and NFL.
