From Tom FitzGerald sfgate.com article today, quoting Shaw:

He said he anticipates that Chryst might be tempted to turn pro after this season “if he continues on the path that he’s on.” On the other hand, Shaw said, “he may want to come back and put more film out there, which is great.

Hmm, that's an interesting comment to put out.  I'm one of Chryst's biggest cheerleaders (if only by comparison to others here; I too want to see more of Costello), and yet it is hard for me to take the comment seriously.  Perhaps to be filed under the "Shaw sometimes says things for very specific reasons, and we are not the audience" file.  I'm guessing he thinks Chryst could do with a dose of confidence?

Yeah, it's hard to take the sum of Shaw's remarks seriously. I'm sure there's a possible universe in which:
1) Keller Chryst might turn pro; and,
2) is one of the better QBs in the conference; and,
3) will yield at least some snaps to Costello, his backup; who,
4) played about equivalently as well as Chryst.

You can figure out an elaborate scenario in which all of these things are true, but it's very odd.
