So if Slovis wasn't the problem why doesn't Retzlaff get the same benefit of

Retzlaff is gonna be our starter. We need to get on board with him.

Blueto

If that's the case, should we expect to see a lot of Bohanan at wildcat? I'm thinking: likely.

SinkingQuffa

Retzlaff is better runner than Bohanan

Is this your opinion?

Bullrider

Yes, that’s generally what posts on a fan message board are

I Agree with your board assessment, but if you can substantiate your post it is

Slovis was a problem, the O line run blocking was a bigger problem. Retzlaff

Limited in an unfixable way, though? Some of his throws were as great as his terrible ones were terrible.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 7:41am

I’m hoping a late year, first D1 experience insertion was not indicative of what

NOCAL_YFAN

I think Retzlaf will improve quite a bit this year vs last years “tough” intro

Yeah this is why I don’t like the Riley Nelson comp

puntersarepeople

Mar 28, 8:12am

Yeah, Jake can sling it. To Riley's credit, though --weak arm aside-- he saw the field very, very well.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 12:56pm

Probably because he made quite a few glaring mistakes.

I heard recently that he hasn't had a single turnover in the last couple weeks of spring ball

Great... Our defense sucks!!

Loyal2Royal

I’m still a little confused by the complaints about TOs

Yes but so did Slovis and many on CB sing Slovis' praises all day long

kaladin58

*sang. No one has really sung Slovis praises in many months.

NYC and Japan

That's going to happen with a kid new to D1 football. Slovis made some really dumb mistakes too and he was a 5th year

TheLoneCougar

Didn't Jake miss a bunch of practice in fall camp due to a tonsilectomy as well?

Captain Stubing

Mar 28, 7:59am

That was spring last year

Mar 28, 8:07am

ya, as I was typing it, I wasn't sure if it was spring or fall - thx

Retzlaff looked absolutely awful throwing the ball and was significantly worse

kimdaddy35

Mar 28, 8:01am

so your point being, slovis vs texas threw 2 picks, also fumbled 1...

kaladin58

Mar 28, 8:47am

No you said Retzlaff played against the top 4 teams in the Big 12 which was

kimdaddy35

Mar 28, 9:06am

ok Retlzaff didnt play texas, slovis still sucked and whose at fault? does crap

kaladin58

Mar 28, 9:08am

Do you need me to repeat myself? Slovis threw the ball much better than Retzlaff

kimdaddy35

Mar 28, 9:15am

Do you need me to repeat myself?

kaladin58

Mar 28, 9:46am

He didn't suck worse. Who did Retzlaff play as good as Texas? Answer? No one.

kimdaddy35

Mar 28, 12:36pm

I don’t think the OL gave him the breathing room to transition from the bench to starter that others in similar

hamaca

Mar 28, 8:04am

Well Retzlaff wasn’t really good during his stint

CougarCanuck76

Mar 28, 8:12am

So you go months without playing in a game, get the start at WV 4th in B12

kaladin58

Mar 28, 8:51am

I'm going into the season with no optimism nor concerns

thewaterboy

Mar 28, 8:13am

I may go down for saying this, but I really think Retzlaff will surprise many

Cougar TD

Mar 28, 8:28am

Agree with you 100%. Retzlaf will improve and surprise folks.

DawgHaus

Mar 28, 11:13am

Retzlaff is an enigma to me

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

Mar 28, 8:28am

Exactly. And two losses against the Oklahoma teams

airbug

Mar 28, 8:44am

It’s a fair argument. Doesn’t mean he’ll be good, but it’s still tbd imo.

ldssdl

Mar 28, 8:50am

I was more concerned about the poor offensive of line play to be honest.

TheWookie

Mar 28, 9:28am

Who says Slovis wasn’t the prob?Many CBers-incl me-never thought he would cut it

zerome4sooners

Mar 28, 9:47am

There are Jake haters on CB, but he played descent to start several tough games.

NYC and Japan

Mar 28, 9:56am

Bottom line, our coaches can’t get anyone better so get behind the QBs.

GilbertAZCougar

Mar 28, 10:40am

Because we need a QB who can cover for our problems and Retzlaff won’t, neither

Jake had the benefit of an improved OL at the end of the year. It seemed obvious that Funk had been relieved of his
