2004, 2007, and 2015 PCC could be argued from strictly a talent standpoint.

Who do you think is better: 2020 or 2023 SJP

Apples and oranges. Mainly because of Covid, the 2020 team never faced a strong opponent and played only six games. Certainly the combination of McCord throwing and Harrison, Hagans, and Cooper catching was very, very special. Re the 2023 team: I was disappointed by the offense against IMG. Yes, IMG had a very strong defense with great player on the line and yes it was SJP's first game--it was IMG's second--but SJP's offense had great trouble moving the ball and never came close to scoring. (SJP's two TDs came from a returned blocked punt and a returned fumble/strip.) SJP played some good teams after that--especially Lakeland and Spalding--but the schedule wasn't quite as difficult as it was expected to be.

So there's really no yardstick to apply when comparing the two teams. You could also throw the 2016 team (with Swift as a senior) into the mix.
