McKee was the easy call now that the short-term (2021) is clearly going to be bad. 
West may have been better if avoiding mistakes to win high profile games in 2021 was a major concern.
Now that it is clear 2021 will have lots of losses no matter how many mistakes the QB makes, it is logical to start the QB that could do more in 2022 if those first year mistakes are out of the way in 2021.

Maybe late in this season McKee's experience gets Stanford a win or two against the weakest November opponents, but it might be a long night in LA on Saturday.

"West may have been better if avoiding mistakes to win high profile games in 2021 was a major concern." West threw two picks and has shown a propensity to make a ton of mistakes. McKee hasn't. McKee is the obvious choice not only for the long-term but also to improve our chances of winning today.

I think for our system mistakes are not limited to INTs, but also missing keys that should have the QB audible to a different play.    Ultimately West wasn't the safe, established option for the program  that perhaps the staff hoped he could be this year.  If we are going to lose, better to lose with the QB that has more eligibility.
