FWIW, West was actually quite serviceable against Oregon. Night and day from the game-that-shall-not-be-mentioned.

(Not that it really matters because McKee will be the starter.)

However McKee isn't superman, so he can get hurt. The old adage that the backup QB is the least important player until he becomes the most important player always applies. We should be very happy that West has developed well enough that we aren't totally doomed if he has to have a spot start. We always hope nobody gets hurt, we have seen enough in the last few years to know not to expect that.

That said, if West should actually beat out McKee as the starter it undoubtedly would mean West had taken a quantum leap forward.
