This has nothing to do with West's prior starts.
Shaw's prior bad decisions on QB cost us multiple games.
I read "The other two times it cost multiple games" to be "the other two times that Shaw started West".
You might be right about 2012 (we lost 20-13 at Notre Dame and 17-13 at Washington, both games where QB play sucked). Then again, right before the Notre Dame game, Nunes posted this line against Arizona: 21/34 (62%), 360 yards (10.6 ypa), 2 TD, 0 INT PER of 170 in a game we won 54-48. Would Hogan have won that game for us?
Similar situation in the Burns to Chryst transition. We lost 10-5 against Colorado in a miserable game for Burns, but would Chryst have beaten K State?

Sorry for the confusion.
I meant the other two times Shaw stupidly picked the veteran over the better player. Or was it three other times?
So, you know for a fact that Hogan was ready week one in ‘12. Wow. Amazing. How? I’ll answer that. You have no clue. But of course, they ran the table once he started. So certainly they would have been undefeated had he only started week one. Right? Sure. I mean, how can one prove otherwise. It’s great to be able to have such clarity…..
Didn't say I did. But what I do know is the guy he picked stunk up the joint, and the guy who replaced him didn't. And the gap was so substantial that it's good enough for me to conclude that Shaw made a stupid decision. And he's now done it three times.
