re: Risher or Hodson...who was better?

I'd take the season Ro had over Russell's any day.

Well - if I'm picking any of these guys at "their" best year, I take Davey, precisely because of intangibles. Guys like Russell - not sure if I can depend on him in a dogfight. He had so many physical tools, but Davey is an old school warrior - for that matter, Tyler, Mauck and Flynn - not nearly the QB that Russell is on paper - but all three (four counting Davey) left it all out on the field.

I would rather go to war with guys like that. But, that doesn't change the fact that Russell is, on paper, the best QB in LSU history - whatever value you place on that. If you're going to be subjective, well that's just everyone's individual opinion at that point.

Same reason Hodson is better than Risher - it's just math.
