This could be the final public tryout for starting quarterback. If Chryst is recovered and Shaw does, in fact, play both in similar and significant spots, there can finally be a true comparison. Also, as easy as it is for us to make a decision, it's important to remember that we don't have all the information. And here's another factor -- while Shaw freely admits that he has a responsibility to play the best player, he can't arbitrarily bench Chryst. He appears to be well-respected by his teammates, as evidenced by their selection of him as one of the team captains. This is a tricky situation right now, but I'm guessing it will less tricky 36 hours from now, one way or the other. There won't be two quarterbacks playing next weekend.

You and Shaw know more than me about this, but how it be that there's no "true comparison" right now? How much more info is needed?

If what you're saying is this affords Shaw the opportunity to see both QBs in action against the same defense, well, I submit we don't have that luxury with the defense we have. A few 3 and outs and we're going to be down 21 before Shaw can get that brobdingnagian play card out of his face to see what's happening on the field.
