Unfortunately Burns played in a 1930s offense in Virginia, which makes him an unsuitable candidate -- you'd think.

Hey, would you elaborate on this? I mean, presumably the coaches saw potential for him to develop in a pro-style system...

Yes.  He has the athletic tools of Andrew Luck (perhaps even a better arm).  What he lacks is the experience playing a pro-style offense.  The coaches believe he can develop it, but we will see.  It is very hard to predict whether a QB will learn to go through his progression, read the defensive alignment, and all those other things that Luck was so good at (Chryst, for what it is worth, is the son of a QB coach, and has been learning that since diapers).
