You and I must have seen different spring games, or you must have a much better eye for talent than I do.  Nothing I saw in the spring game made me think we were going to be fine If Chryst’s Recovery was delayed.

I just checked, and I did not misremember the spring game...

Freshman quarterback K.J. Costello handled the first three series but was unable to get the Cardinal on the board, finishing 5 of 13 through the air.

Burns connected on 10 of 15 attempts.

What I recall about the spring game was thinking our running backs looked good.

It's not just about Costello's Spring stats.  It's how he looked as a QB.  It's the enthusiasm for the game.  He was way overthinking things in Spring, trying to be perfect.  I figured with another off season things would slow down for him.  Plus, Costello had a better completion percentage in high school than Burns or Chryst, against better competition.  Factor in how unimpressive Burns and Chryst were in 2016, and it just seemed to me Costello would be the better QB.
