The latter have been vastly inferior to the former since the beginning of Dragon Ball. The absolute best warriors humanity had to offer were able to feign relevancy for a while because the only Saiyan they had to compete with was a small child with garbage genes.
Goku impaled the Devil on his fist before he was legally old enough to drive. It really should come as no surprise that "Adult Gokus with lots of battle experience" are an insurmountable threat for the planet Earth!

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I mean. Yeah. The only person in the group that's never tried to kill Goku is Krillin.
I doubt Vegeta would be like that in Super, but it'd be funny if he was.
I won't! I'm an American. Our beer has the word "ROOT" poorly edited into the scene and kind of hovering around from frame to frame above it.

What part of I'm invincible do you not understand.
As Long as There Is Evil, I can never be vanquished.
One Strip! One Strip!How much stronger was Nappa than Piccolo?
I think it was, IIRC, a 500 point difference? Certainly far less than the difference there was between Piccolo and Raditz (which was ~1100 and change, IIRC).
Saiga has the numbers memorized, I'm sure.
Anyway, the point is, the difference between Nappa and the Z fighters in terms of power was not super gigantic. The fact remains that Nappa was basically a villain with all of the same traits that made Goku an excellent fighter.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariI remember Nappa saying Piccolo was at 1500 with his power suppressed.
In contrast, suppressed Krillin was 1100.
That being said, full power Piccolo was likely much more powerful.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Its pretty absurd how Nappa was twice as strong as everyone but Piccolo, and then Goku twice as strong as him, and then Vegeta is over twice as strong as Goku.
Power Levels yo.
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.No, what's absurd is that Goku had to use the Kaioken to drop Nappa as quickly and efficiently as he did despite being twice as strong as him.

himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariNappa was awesome.
But he has to be dead forever while Vegeta kicks back at the Briefs household because sometimes life just isn't fair.

Think people are once again, just tired of the supporting characters being reduced to punching bags that need to be saved.
But we've been down this road: Saiyans>Humans, the latter have been vastly inferior to the former since near the end of Dragon Ball, Nappa killing them really shouldn't be much of a surprise.
