Speight is the type of perfectly competent QB who won't elevate an offense but also won't doom it either. Had Speight been QB in 2016-17 the team would have:
a) probably won a couple more games as he wouldn't've had the same lows as Chryst/Burns
b) also kept us from learning about Costello (in all likelihood)

So a bit of a tradeoff there. Since Costello -- by statistics and eye-test -- seems like a highly promising, potential NFL QB, that's a real one.
