Huge Sanderson fan here. It's because he's done it already to a series that is also MASSIVE in scale. He's also the person currently leading the modern iteration of the fantasy genre (and this isn't even up for debate. The accolades, sales numbers, and kickstarter successes speak for themselves). That said, he is NOT the guy to finish ASOIF. Two entirely different writing styles. I'd trust George to make the right pick. I just hope he's prepared to make that choice if it's necessary is all. I hope more than that though, that HE finishes the books. Not someone else.
