The plethora of offensive talent on the field should make it easy for Stanford's new QB to succeed
Ryan Burns was tabbed by David Shaw last Wednesday as the heir apparent to fellow Northern Virginian Kevin Hogan. Depending on who you wanted to win the QB competition, there can be two alternate groups of thinking.
Thought Group #1 (Pro Keller Chryst): Burns, a senior, is only going to start one year, and the Pac-12 might be on the outside looking in, in terms of securing a playoff spot this season. McCaffrey might stay for his senior year if he does what he did last year, and it would be nice to have a consistent signal-caller for his last two years to develop the same rapport with Chryst which he had with Kevin Hogan.
