I think we should refrain from deeming Burns the next great QB. He hasn't played a college snap and his team last year was very run-centric. One of the lessons we should have learned from Nunes v Nottingham is that recruiting information doesn't mean much.

I would basically agree with you on this, Yvonne.  Recruiting info seems to focus on the measurables of a QB, while successful QBs all seem to have a handle on the intangibles, as well.  All the more reason to have a stable situation at the position so Burns can come in and the coaches can work with him and  he can, essentially, understudy whoever holds the spot (hopefully, if he builds on this performance, Hogan, who still has three years of eligibility left).  All those examples of highly rated Cal QBs reinforce that point.
