The most promising guy is always the backup QB, right? That is until he turns...

But if he never gets the opportunity to prove himself, how will we know? Gerry

Where did OP say that Retzlaff is the only problem? One problem at a time. Stay on subject.

At his best, he's an average or slightly above average QB. Factor in turnovers

I think that is incredibly generous TBH

He is not accurate enough to be average.

Jake might have played the best in camp, but we all know Jake’s problems start

Jake’s don’t like getting hit in games a guess… First a Heaps, now a Retzlaff..

That’s the thing. Gerry has started lots of D1/P4 games. He isn’t the best but

Jake is ranked in top half of The Big 12 in most categories in an article

Last yr only 1 D1 player threw as many passes as JR with a lower pass efficiency

It was a deflection because you never even commented even though the ranking is

He is not an average P4 QB, not even close. Outside of SIU, he has barely been

A 50% thrower is a bad qb, imo.

The coaches are fools if they don't play both QB's this Saturday. It's the last non conference game..

Didn’t they say it on one of our games that coaches asked JR if he was

Not a single personal attack there. All data driven and hard to argue. Good post

Not so fast with the fumbles, buddy.

Taysom Hill had 9 fumbles in 2016. 4 fumbles in 4 games in 2014.

Hill threw 4 interceptions and lost that game against Dallas in that GIF

Also, running/ option QBs are intentionally in more situations likely to fumble

NYC and Japan

Sep 8, 7:22am

But so many qbs are running qbs and Jake doesn’t even run much

BYU '80

Sep 8, 8:56am

About a dozen times a game. Positive net yards every game. Not running focus,

We have a large sample size now. How many lost games are we willing to accept…

We were double digit underdogs and won on the field. What loss are we accepting

Does anyone know if the broken play he fumbled on was his fault or RB's?

It was supposed to be a jet sweep. The snap was mistimed.

Jake Y/A = 5.2 last year. Jake Y/A = 9.5 right now. I think the worst thing they could do right now is bottle

Part of the problem is that Across reaction to the TO problem is to throw really

How do you know it’s on ARod? We’ve seen multiple examples on replay

BYU '80

Sep 8, 8:57am

We can agree that not every underneath throw is called as the primary target.

There is no such thing as overemphasized controlling TOs

So how did he get one TO if not a pick and wearing green/yellow/red jerseys?

He’s also late on every throw. Even big yardage throws receivers have to come

Longseason

And he also doesn’t see the field well at all!

kahuna

Yes, he’s clearly not seeing downfield. He’s often just biding time to throw the

Fixable. Needs to fix it fast. The picks need to stop - might be harder to fix!

QBs can evolve. Young and Detmer had a lot of TOs. He's not them (yet) we'll see

Young's 5 TOs cost BYU a win against a top 10 Georgia on the road.
