Hiashi said Neji learned techniques that only the heirs were able to learn and goes on to say he surpassed the main branch. So technique wise yes Neji >>>>>>99% of the Hyuuga. Strength & experience wise is unknown, but we can ultimately conclude that chunin Neji was indeed stronger than then majority of the clan easily.
Compared to Uchiha and Senju the other clans were weak af, that's how the story goes.
In terms of overall clan strength, Part 1 Neji being like 2nd strongest in the strongest clan on the leaf means Hiashi himself is carrying the bulk of the clan.
You cannot tell me that the strongest clan in the leaf has Part 1 Neji as it's No.2, That makes zero sense.
So either Neji in part 1 is an actual power house compared to most singular shinobi in the leaf, or Hiashi is so strong most of the strength of the strongest clan is on his back alone, Again would make him one of the strongest leaf shinobi since he alone is enough to carry a clan with part 1 Neji as the clans No.2
Don't hate on Sauce man. Hebi Sasuke is better than any Hyuuga and EMS Sasuke still wrecks the entire clan.
It's not hate, It's the truth. Sasuke's current strength isn't solely down to his Genes/Genius. Same goes for Naruto too
Also Yes Hebi does have better feats but that's because he was actually developed and skills were shown in the first place, Neither Neji's jutsu strength was explored nor developed much and Hiashi was outright ignored until the war arc where again he got minimal screen time.
I honestly don't see the point he's trying to make except an excuse. We can't exclude Sasuke and Madara from the clan just because they are Indras reincarnate.
If your trying gauge a clans strength, adding factors such as Hagoromo's gifts to sasuke which have nothing to do with the uchiha clan, It's like trying to gauge an average uzumaki strength by Naruto's strength while using the kyuubi or the Sages chakra.
