Criddle compares Jake Retzlaff's "elite" throw to a similar one from Zach Wilson

This was a cover 2 hole shot from Zach Wilson in 2020.

This was a play that set Zach apart during the pre draft process.

Rarely if ever do you see this thrown vs. Cover 2.

You need great arm strength and big ballocks.

Jake did it against a great defense in Kansas State. https://t.co/H1Pd50RvK2 pic.twitter.com/pcJF1yjQ9T

ARod basically made the same comparison yesterday too

“Ballocks”

The hard part in evaluating Jake is his inconsistency. You'd rarely see Zach miss easy throws- Jake has 2-3 every

9:22am

I mean Zach’s draft year he played like 12 G5 teams..

JohnnyComeLately

9:24am

Lots of Jake's bad throws come with zero pressure and open guys- has zero to do with P4/G5

9:45am

Ok in the last game where did he have 2-3 wide open passes that he threw into the dirt?

JohnnyComeLately

9:55am

Haunga had his guy beat by 4-5 yards in the EZ and Jake threw it out of bounds

Oh my gosh, get him out of there!! #TeamBohannon

I’ve never said put in Bohannon but consistency is an issue with Retzlaff

palangi

10:54am

The statement was that Jake throws 2-3 wide open receivers passes in the dirt every game. I did not see that last game.

Yeah, but he had some bad games last season. Don't forget those!

Jake was 15 of 21. The first 2 misses were drops. Pretty consistent against

I agree. He still has some really bad misses. We're talking about off by a mile.

bythenumbers

11:22am

Yeah, I think he has room for improvement in both his accuracy and especially his consistency. He's played really well

He has been one of the highest PFF-rated QBs in the conference this year.

Might be me but why was a freshman RB running a fade route anyway?

You can’t be serious! Did you ask that?

I think the purpose was to give us a good chance of scoring a TD

I saw worse throws than that from Jayden Daniels last night

Belboz

1:51pm

Really? I think that's exactly what we saw from Zach outside of the 2020 season

Schultz is back

9:26am

And we're calling out NFL Zach as not good enough/strong enough mentally

9:46am

Pretty sure the knock on Zach was that he missed easy throws

LakeshowCougs

9:35am

The main criticism I remember is throwing darts so hard the receivers had a tough time making the catch

He's not trying to say bollocks

I cheered like everyone else, but I turned to my wife and said,

Belboz

Jake Heaps made that throw too.

BGRTHNUMEGO

Seems like the safety took a bad angle, which gave him no chance to make a play

It's the play design. ARod purposely put the safety in a bind where he has

^^^THIS^^^ Good summary. perfectly timed more than a physically impressive throw

fulano

9:43am

And yet it's the physically impressive throw that made the timing possible.

9:45am

But... but... FIRE AROD!!!! Bad OC!!!

11:17am

Retzlaff zipped it short into the window in front where safety would be headed

Belboz

9:36am

The safety didn't take a bad angle. It's ok man, you can pay Jake a compliment.

9:37am

I have no problem paying Jake compliments. Before the season, I thought it was

We never doubted him for a second.

He has the physical tools and seems to be getting smarter with more experience

Each week he's learning and improving, thankfully. Still has a ways to go, but

This is a common Air Raid pass concept, drilled every day by high school kids across the country.

Just because a high schooler can’t do it doesn’t make it an elite throw

2:00pm

I can't believe no one attended those games with Zach. We had such a good team.
