Here is what Ted Miller from ESPN said about the Burns vs Chryst debate today. I haven't heard an audio or seen a transcript of an interview or a press conference with Shaw about this, but I usually find Miller credible and knowledgable, and have no reason to doubt him.

Quote:"[color=rgb(108, 109, 111)]Ryan Burns surprised many when he beat out Keller Chryst for the starting QB job at Stanford. Coach David Shaw pointed to two mental areas Tuesday where Burns eclipsed Chryst: pre-snap reads and post-snap decision-making. While both 6-foot-5, 230 pounders look the part and Chryst was the 2015 backup it shouldn't be surprising that the QB decision at Stanford comes down to brains rather than big arms or mobility."[/color]
