No clue how West will  do. But I do think he’s been wrongly labeled as below average based primarily if not exclusively on one start he made two years ago.  At a time he was not ready.

Not just one game. West was an unimpressive 13/19 for 154 with 0 TD/0 INT against Oregon last year. You can argue all you want about how he was thrown into that situation last minute. As the backup QB you need to be prepared to be the guy at a moment's notice.

I think it's hard to argue that based on his two starts, West is anything better than mediocre, and that's not good enough. So let's hope he's significantly improved.

not sure why winflop thinks 13/19 for 154 w/ 0 TD/0 INT = "unimpressive" given the circumstances.  easy to argue otherwise.

The game that West started last year, vs Oregon, in some ways was the most productive game of the year for the offense between the 20s. Stanford averaged 7.25 yds per play, tops on the year. That was also, by far, the most yds/play that Oregon gave up on the year.
Of course there was the red zone. This was the game where four times Stanford drives stalled deep, leading to four missed field goals.

Overall, West was pretty decent in that game, though the red zone failures were on him as much as anyone.
