I think Collie is a great player and clearly the best WR ever to play at BYU. I think he is an ass but that is beside the point. Today on the radio PK was claiming he is one of the 5 best players to play in the rivalry game. I think this is crazy because I bet there are 5 better players from BYU alone.
I think the following are better without really any argument, in no particular order:
Jim McMahon
Luther Ellis
Steve Young
Steve Smith (yes he didn't have the stats to match Collie but that was more of a function of the QB he had throwing to him, plus you cannot discount his punt return ability)
Ty Detmer
Alex Smith
Players that are arguably better:
Jordan Gross
Kevin Dyson (again he didn't have as good of stats but he didn't have a QB, plus he single handedly beat BYU in Provo)
John Tait
These are just a few off the top of my head. Collie is the best player on either team on Saturday, but he isn't top 5 of all time.
