He's not perfect, but the ball goes exactly where he wants it to go the vast majority of time with the right amount of speed for the occasion. . I think you've seen a drop off due to the receivers and him not yet being on the same page, except for Greene. Winston throws to a spot, he expects his receivers to be there, it hasn't happened yet this year. I think that will change with a former gator commit, Lane, and the rumored "big flip" to Florida, Rudolph becoming more in synch with Winston. Mariota gets excused for his poor offensive line, yet Winston hasn't had good protection going back to the National Championship game, but he still figures out a way to win. No, you're dreaming if you think that any receiver "bails" out the game's most accurate passer. His throws are dictated by who he's throwing to. For example, the same play, an inside slant, that as the winning TD in the National Championship game was run last week against Wake, but Winston didn't throw it high, he threw it where Greene could catch it, not Benjamin. If you don't realize that Winston is still the best player in college football, I don't think you are being objective. Mariota? He chokes at home against a 24 point underdog and hasn't even won a division title in his career. Gurley? He's a great player, he's not as dominant a player as Winston, or Georgia wouldn't have lost against South Carolina. No, with the game on the line, there is no one to compare with Winston, he never fails to rise to the occasion. He did 'driskel' against N.C. State late in the game, but made up for it on the next drive.
Winston is an outstanding QB, but he isn't in my top 3 right now for many reasons.
