I voted normatively. But Shaw will stick with Burns, citing improvement in practice. Hope is a dangerous thing.

Actually, hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul. But you're probably right about the other stuff.
Please clear the field! The game is not over!

Things with feathers that perch in the soul can be dangerous too...! ;)
Harvard's now-deceased legendary coach of the last few decades was fond of saying "You can't row and hope!"Â The implication is that training establishes capabilities and performance guarantees, and that winners must train to not lose rather than train for the hope of maybe winning.

That's Hoffpaiur. If you think back, you'll realize that they've been featuring kids from the home states of the opponents. McCaffrey last week, Rector for one of the Washington schools... I can't remember much beyond that, but Hoffpaiur would fit the pattern. (And if it were Chryst, that would mean someone in the athletic department is trolling Shaw.)

Burns, because Chryst isn't better and it's not worth burning KJ's shirt.

I think there's a good argument to burn it. Shaw doesn't like to start newcomers, especially at QB. You can argue the merits of that all day, but that's his way. As it stands, neither Burns nor Chryst seem to have what it takes, so shouldn't Shaw start preparing for next year at QB? If KJ (or others) is an NFL quality QB (and we have no idea until we see him in action in a real game) it's unlikely he'll play 4 full years anyway. So why not help him hit the ground running next year and/or learn now whether Shaw needs to come up with other options fast. I've been watching Stanford football a long time, and it's often/usually pretty clear --even as Freshman-- when someone "has it" and someone doesn't. Personally I'd rather know now than wait till next year and roll the dice. How much worse could he be? That said, Chryst probably deserves a shot starting a game or two. It just can't be the same coming in for a series or down here and there. Who knows, maybe he'd look better if he didn't just come in the game when all 45k people in the stadium can predict exactly what he's about to do....

as reported in other threads Chryst to start, no doubt to the overwhelming support of this poll :)
