You took the time to identify how much better the opponents Winston faced were in contrast to the opponents that Hill faced.

This is a team sport Guido, neither of those QBs faced an opponent alone and if you know college football as well as I assume you do, then you know what Hills supporting cast looked like compared to Winston's. A very quick look at how many players were drafted from BYU in to the NFL during Hills time vs how many players were drafted from Florida State tells a story. Winston had multiple offensive players drafted while he was at Florida and in his draft class from Florida... Hill himself wasn't even drafted just as a handful of NFL great QBs weren't drafted.

Once again, Oak, I agree with you that the college stats are irrelevant. I was only replying in kind to Thirty3 who had tried to use Hill's college play (erroneously claiming that Taysom had broken all of Steve Youngs records) as support for Hill being better than Winston.

Oh, and I don't really follow college football. I of course know the conferences and their relative strengths, but I can seldom name more than a couple of players and that's only after Heisman hype begins.
