Whichever QB gives us the best chance to win.

No clue. Nobody will know the answer to that except the team.

I don't know how you even form an opinion on it if you're not in practice

shoganai

At what point are we allowed to form an opinion? And why can't we base our opinion on what QB's have done in the past?

So because Retzlaff didn't win those games, you wouldn't want him to start, even

BYUtka

I'd like to win. But JR was historically bad and I think we have enough data to presume GB can do better because he was

byuTX

Jul 18, 3:18pm

Despite the prohibition on having an opinion. I don't think JR will ever have the requisite accuracy to be a good QB.

You can form an opinion whenever you want. I don't know how you would feel like

shoganai

So 4 games, in your opinion isn’t enough of a sample size. How many is enough for you to form an opinion?

byuTX

Jul 19, 7:45am

If you feel like you have enough info to have a firm opinion on who the starter

shoganai

Jul 19, 10:43am

How much info do you think is reasonably enough to form an opinion?

byuTX

Jul 19, 11:19am

Some Fall practices. Certainly something more recent than last season.

BYUtka

Jul 19, 11:56am

But since none of us see those (public practices don't really count), we can't form an opinion until how many '24 games?

byuTX

Jul 19, 12:14pm

13.

BYUtka

Jul 19, 12:24pm

Does that 13 include last year? So after game 9 this year is ok? Or just this season? Cause if it's JR we won't play 13

byuTX

Jul 19, 1:41pm

Nope..this season. And did Retzlaff do something personal to you? He wasn't

BYUtka

Jul 19, 2:00pm

No. I just want BYU to win and he was statistically the worst BYU QB in 50+ years and was a bottom tier P5 QB last year.

byuTX

Jul 19, 2:04pm

I just think it is a TBD situation. He might be a bust, he might not. I think

BYUtka

Jul 19, 2:10pm

I don't think there's a set number. Can be very circumstantial.

shoganai

Jul 19, 1:32pm

So in some circumstances it might be never ok to question a coach's decision? And you've never complained about a QB?

byuTX

Jul 19, 1:40pm

Poor coaching decisions were a large part of why Jake struggled...

BYUtka

Jul 19, 2:12pm

Why would he improve (but GB, who was already better not improve) under the same coaches?

byuTX

Jul 19, 2:23pm

You can question a coach's decision whenever you want. I don't think anybody

shoganai

Jul 19, 2:32pm

You care. But you did finally answer so thanks.

byuTX

Jul 19, 3:27pm

Nothing wrong with "opinions"...but what are you really asking here? Everyone

BYUtka

Jul 18, 2:00pm

Zach Wilson, but that's unlikely. so I'll take whoever John Beck endorses on our current squad.
