Otherwise, this is f*cking dumb.
Chryst has has plenty of opportunities, and the results were average at best, and often bad. Hard to expect that will be any different tomorrow.
1) that Chryst is actually much better than we think. Maybe he really did throw amazingly all week before sd state and just had the worst day of his career
2) that Costello is much worse than I think, it's been all smoke and mirrors using only a fraction if the playbook, and with more starts, he would eventually get exposed
3) Costello really is the better choice, and Shaw should (will eventually someday) recalibrate how he weights ability to execute the full playbook vs x-factor ability to improvise
4) Shaw is just messing with people's heads and actually gave Costello almost all the reps this week
I am not assuming #3. I am just disappointed because if Shaw had announced Costello as the starter, it would mean he was really ready and had unmistakably pulled ahead.
