I agree that if Costello were the second coming of Andrew Luck there is a good chance we would know it by now. However, there is a big gap between the "second coming" and "all hype" (depending of course on your definition of the latter term).
I would like to see more of Costello before I decide where in that gap he belongs.

IF THE #1 RANKED QB WE HAVE COMING IN IS ALL THAT, WILL COSTELLO BE ANOTHER NUNES UNTIL SHAWVITAGREN FIGURES IT OUT?  IF YOU RECRUIT THE #1 GUY AND DON'T DEVELOP/PROMOTE/USE HIM QUICKLY, GOOD "LUCK" GETTING ANOTHER ONE...

Well, I expect Chryst to play one more year after this and Costello and Mills to battle it out to see who is his backup (in 2018) and ultimate replacement (2019). If Shaw is true to form we may not know that answer fully until a couple of weeks before the opener in 2019. As far as not getting another #1 is concerned, it's possible we lost JT Daniels to U$C because he thought he would get earlier playing time there. As far as using Mills early is concerned, I think the fact he is coming off a knee injury pretty much guarantees we won't do that.
