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?
