You're right in that Chryst looked substantively better than Burns vs. UNC in the Sun Bowl.  But when dabigv says that he's not left with a whole lot of confidence in Chryst, I'm with him there...yeah, I was spoiled by Luck and Hogan, but that's where Chryst needs to be to win a slate of hard conference games.  I think his throwing ability is closer to Luck's, but his decision-making is not yet at the level of Luck/Hogan...and that was no good behind a moderately cohesive OL last season.

Chryst is better than Burns for sure.  Will Chryst lead Stanford to the promised land?  Jury's out on that one though the defense will make it easier on him (just manage the game...).
