The thing that shows Quinn has been better than Makar are people like you and several Avs fans who go out of their way to insert themselves in Quinn and nucks threads pumping Cales tires or when Cale went on his brief run that got him back in the race or when he broke a record they flooded thread related to Quinn.
Look...I know this isn't directed at me as I haven't said much in this thread at all, but it's a curious comment. I will be blunt....I have zero bias for either of these guys....I tend to think Makar is the better player, but I don't feel super strongly either way, that's simply my opinion.
The strange thing though.... you seem to suggest the thing that shows Quinn has been better is people coming into a Quinn thread and saying Makar is better? What does that mean? I guess you are trying to suggest Makar's fans have Quinn on the brain...they know he's better so they need to infiltrate Quinn threads to try and knock him down to pump up Makar to try and secure the spot for him.....that's pretty far fetched. I'm sure there are loads of fans on both sides here that will argue why their guy is better and be blind to things that make the other better (simple bias)....that's fine and people can argue or disagree on those things....but I don't see how this in one of those things that makes Quinn better. I'll give an example. In the 80's, most years I would have thought Gretzky was the best (no bias, not my favourite, simple opinion, he as the best). If there was a thread about Paul Statsny and how he was the best....I'd certainly come in and disagree and pump Gretzky's tires and argue how he's better....that's not a good argument as to why Statsny is better.
The fact that this discussion is happening sounds like a good thing for fans of both guys because it wouldn't be happening if both guys weren't great players. Sort of the thing with Crosby and Ovechkin....hard to talk about one without turning it into something about the other.....which kind of shows how great both have been.
The other thing.....I think Makar is better right now.....doesn't mean if Quinn goes on to get better and better every year and turns out to be the obvious better player over their careers I was wrong. Firstly, it's opinion anyway, but it's also at a point in time....I might think Quinn is better by the end of the year, by next year, or I might think Makar is WAY BETTER by end of the year, by next year, etc....or, I might just think the same thing....it's close.
