The only conclusion is that something Chryst is doing in practice or whatever enamors the coaches and he will be at the very worst a rotational QB for the entirety of his career.

Given the evidence it seems fairly clear at this point that, in practice, you get Good Chryst. There's nothing on the line, he can play loose, etc. But when there are problems (at SDSU where the line was bad, at USC when we got down early, at Oregon State where we didn't have Love) he stops playing loose and we see Bad Chryst. As you've said the coaches mostly see Good Chryst. They know he can be good, better than Hogan even, and can't force themselves to see that he can also be the worst QB we've fielded since 2007.

I have to say that the handling of this QB situation is by far the most baffling thing this coaching staff has done.
