Nothing corrodes an inherently competitive system more than favoritism. It's OK to state at the end of Spring practice which players seemed to be the best at their positions at that moment in time. The players have an interest in honest feedback, although most would have to be incredibly thick if they couldn't deduce that from practice reps and minutes played in the scrimmage. But that was Spring. This is for the starting positions. If we carry five QBs, than five QBs should get their shot.  I hope I don't actually see this, but if Skov is still hobbled coming back from his injury, I also hope the Stanford coaches have the good sense to start a better performing LB if he's earned it.
