Anyone wanting to bring up Nottingham as an analog to Chryst has to realize Chryst's pedigree and physical attributes are far beyond what Nottingham brought to the position.

OK, I went back and looked.  Nottingham was the #14 QB in 2011, a 4* recruit ranked 253 overall.  That's good, but you are right, Chryst ranks higher: #5 QB, 4*, #95 overall.  What's interesting is that even though we all seemed enamored by Nottingham at the time, there was no reason to be, based on his recruiting profile.  Both Nunes: 4*, 19th ranked QB, #155 overall and Hogan, 4*, 13th ranked QB, #202 overall would have been considered better recruits, even though I don't remember thinking that at the time.

By the way, as a basis of comparison, Luck was 5*, 4th ranked QB, #47 overall, which makes Chryst our highest ranked QB recruit since Luck.

Costello is 4*, #91 overall, 6th ranked QB, so pretty comparable to Chryst in terms of rankings.
