No one ever said it had to be a permanent benching, take him out for a series

BYUFootballisBack Intervention Needed

Let him cool his head and see if the other guy would do any better

If not go back, it's not that deep/crazy

And if it breaks your starter to do that... Yikes

You guys remember when Alabama was down 13-0 at halftime in the National Championship and Nick Saban benched his starter

Spoiler, he is.

That's not a spoiler everyone know Kalani would never do it. Not his nature.

Took saban 13.5 games to make a change... So we should wait? 😝

Remember, when Lavell Edwards benched his starters for throwing multiple interceptions?

He also gave the backups meaningful minutes.

If Retzlaff had the same career TD/int ratio those others did, then I would side with you.

Detmer had 41TDs and 28INTs in 1990. What ratio is that? Not very good.

Six or seven of those came his first freshman game against Wyoming

No, he had 28 INT in just 1990. None of those came his freshman year vs Wyoming

TFD threw for enough TDs that it didn't matter what he did the rest of the time.

Ok but he also threw for 5188 yards that season

Steve Young. 1982. Junior year, after McMahon graduated.

Can you show any stats that point to ret being a good qb ? Trying to compare Steve Young to him now is hilarious

No. It’s too early to tell. Young’s stats in his first full season starting

Lavell pulled Covey from every game but 1 in 1988 to put in Detmer. Lavell

This is the lamest argument. Retzlaff has shown zero indication of being a guy

I didn’t realize we had a 5 star, future NFL #5 overall pick as a back up

canuckchuck

It’s all relative. The benched starter was also a 5 star future nfl star qb.

I could argue having no nfl qb’s on roster is all the more reason to try others.
