I sure hope Chryst does make it back by game 2, but it seems like it's way too soon to tell. One concern that I have for Chryst is that he can potentially return to being able to play QB after just 8 months, while not being inclined (or advised) to pick up first downs and touchdowns with his legs. This was an essential part of Hogan's game and seemed to be an important asset for Chryst, too. Let's also remember that Shaw (like most coaches) is notorious for implying earlier returns than players can realistically medically achieve.Â
On that note, I'm all in favor of a look at Costello against Rice and possibly beyond, if he earns it in camp. As many noted, he looked really sharp against the backups in the open scrimmages last summer. Seems like a great kid, too - super nice to my 8 year-old!
In the end, whoever plays QB for us will look solid if Power is working consistently, opening up play action and keeping us out of obvious passing downs. This is true for any football team but *especially* us. The tenure of our O-line bodes well for our offense, too. And the odd year...(2011,2013,2015,2017?)
