Hopefully Chryst or Costello will prove themselves so worthy in your eyes this season...!  I guess you think they're chopped liver (or at least unproven) right now ;)

Contrarian or controversial opinions don't have an exclusive hold on the truth.  Sometimes players and coaches share opinions because they're the right opinions.

CHRYST WAS MY GUY GOING INTO LAST YEAR, I ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WAS A GAMER, AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED MY OPINION ON THAT ASSUMING HE'S HEALTHY AND GIVEN THAT FRESHMEN QB'S WON'T EVER GET THE CHANCE UNDER SHAW.  BURNS BECAME WHAT I THOUGHT HE WAS AFTER A FEW GAMES, AND COSTELLO IS ALL HYPE.  CHRYST'S AND MAYBE BURNS' PROBLEM WAS A COACHING STAFF THAT OVERLOADS THE POSITION WITH PLAYBOOK INSTEAD OF TAILORING THE PLAYBOOK TO THE PLAYER.  THEY INHIBITED HOGAN THAT WAY TOO FOR QUITE A BIT OF HIS CAREER IMHO.  INDICATIVE OF THAT FACT IS HOW MANY TIMES WE GET A DELAY OF GAME PENALTY, FOLLOWED BY HAVING TO TAKE A SUBSEQUENT TIMEOUT.  I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN HOW THE QB POSITION IS RECRUITED AND DEVELOPED UNDER SHAVITAGREN.  REMEMBER, SHAW WASN'T THAT HIGH ON ANDREW LUCK, HE HAD OTHER RECRUITS RANKED HIGHER, AND OF COURSE STARTING NUNES AT ALL WAS ANOTHER EXAMPLE....  CHRYST MAY NEVER BE A GREAT THROWER, BUT HE COULD BE EFFECTIVE ENOUGH FOR US IF THE OTHER PIECES COME TOGETHER ON OFFENSE. MAYBE I'M WRONG (NO, THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE LOL) BUT THAT'S MY OUTLOOK.
