That was the most impressive debut I've seen since Hogan's against Colorado, and Pitt ain't Colorado.  The comparison shouldn't be Hogan v Winston as they are different classes.  It should be Lloyd v Winston, and given what I saw in the Stanford Spring Game compared to last night's game, my initial thought is that I'd rather have Winston.

I'll go ahead and make the Hogan comparison anyway.  With the caveat of a limited sample and different teammates, here are my initial impressions:  Winston has a much stronger arm and a little bit more accurate.  Hogan is more agile.  The most important difference is temperament.  Hogan is famously calm and cool.  Winston's bad temper and fiery personality has already been documented, and he displayed it last night.  A run of the mill miscue from the coaches led to a delay of game penalty and Winston went bonkers.  Doesn't seem to affect his play, but we'll see how it goes in bigger and closer games.  I don't think his combustible personality and criticism of teammates would go over well in a Stanford locker room.  He probably wouldn't have played as true frosh and given what I've read about him, I don't think he would sit quietly and wait his turn.  As amazing as he looks, I don't think the fit was there.

A couple asides.  Our very own Rod Gilmore tweeted out that Winston wanted to go to Texas, but Mack Brown didn't recruit him.  RG3, Manziel, and now Winston.  That's quite the hat trick there.  IIRC correctly Gunner Kiel was more highly rated than Winston.  Boy did they get that one wrong.

EDIT: I forgot about Luck.  What's the hockey term for scoring 4 times in a game?
