So he's kind of an average QB who plays above average at times.

He's certainly capable of playing better than he has the last few games. If he can step it up we should be in good shape for ASU and the CCG.

Retzlaff QBR is #64 out of 131 total

Are you seriously comparing him to Dart - who is in his FOURTH season starting

No he is not…he is saying if we had Dart with this team we are probably ranked

Yeah OK fair enough. Would be great to have Jaxson right now.

As a Kaysville native it always kills me when good Ktown kids go elsewhere.

The reason Dart didn't come to BYU was because Jaren Hall had the position

The ceiling for this team is the offense. We'll find out this weekend.

I think we're all aware that Retzlaff is not an elite QB this year. Don't know if he'll take a step up next year either.

I think he will take a step up. Not sure what the marginal gail will be

And I’m sure many CB’ers will bemoan the ones that haven’t happened yet as well

Could have had a legendary season with just a good, above average QB

Can he fix his mechanics this off-season is the biggest question?

So what is causing his accuracy issues? The fade wasn't even close.

I'd say he tracks pretty close to sophomore / 2013 Taysom Hill in the sense that

oxcoug

And how many deflected/batted balls has he had this season?

acadian8

Beck also addressed that - said it was clear that Utah had schemed to do that

oxcoug

Unlikely. I think he will improve a lot over the next offseason

He can’t throw the long ball to save his life.

Huh wut? That's fundamentally not the case. He's thrown dimes on several long

His long ball is above average...his misses are medium throws.

This is right. His deep strikes have occasionally been spectacular though you'd

His throws to Lassiter at Baylor and JoJo vs SUI were touch dimes that

Too bad he used up his dimes for the year

Retzlaff is better at quarterbacking than I am at fanning.

And as far as I can tell you're about a 6.0 at fanning so Jake is like 6.5

The grass isn't always greener. Live in the now and appreciate it.

So, he's among the best QBs in college football!

Point. So so play. Imagine our team with a high end QB. ARod has done a good job
