Matt, it seems does likely that most college QBs would improve steadily and significantly throughout their careers.
But statistically, it doesn't happen.
A remarkably high percentage of college QBs decline in their second year, and a remarkably low percentage improve significantly. A notable nearby example of decline--or at least utter lack of progress--is Jake Browning.
I may have a large compilation of stats on this. I've watched it carefully.
Costello has a talent but some very rough edges. He's posting terrific numbers, likely helped by the most underrated coaches on our staff. Exactly why some Stanford fans think Pritchard is not a good coach, must less the very good he is, baffles me.
Mike Sanford is at substantial risk of losing his job.
