Is the best move to give experience to Costello now or to hope for a peaking 5th year Chryst next year? Would putting Costello in now give him needed experience, or is it risky and dangerous to put in a less experienced qb now given our current issues? Would we be sending Costello into a Luck-Colts type of situation?

At Indianapolis Luck has been out there scrambling for his life. His situation actually makes me wonder why he and his family did not refuse to play for the Colts.
Coming out of Stanford refused to play for the Colts. And Ely Manning (father an NFL vet  QB just like Luck's father was) refused to play for the Chargers.
Anyway, I think Stanford's current team is capable of protecting a QB much better than the Colts have protected Luck.
