Outside of universal coach speak, I don't think that Shaw has led us to believe that West is particularly good; but that does depend upon how you interpret coach speak.
His comment just before officially announcing West to start was,
Quote: He knows what to do and how to do it. He's got a strong arm, throws the ball accurately and threw to our guys all summer. Because of our quarterback situation, he's gotten more reps than most 'third' quarterbacks have this entire year. He's just jumped in and operated the offense.To me that sounds like a fairly unenthusiastic "I love all my children equally" sort of comment.
On the other hand, I wouldn't believe any gushing, so that comment doesn't cause me worry above and beyond simply starting a third string QB.
