Don't forget that Hostetler was in his 8th or 9th year in the league before he actually got to start in Oakland. It was largely before free agency, so he was stuck on the bench. I'm not saying he was better than Simms, I just don't think that hindsight can show that he wasn't as good as Simms. I assume that when you say hindsight you're talking about 4 decent years starting for a mediocre to bad raider team plus some action as a Redskin when he was 36 years old. I don't think it's fair to compare those years to Phil Simms in his prime.
