performance against SMU was so disappointing to me. If he can’t play a clean, efficient game against Wyoming, I think Gerry needs to get a couple of series to show how he performs IN GAMES compared to Jake.

History is against Retzlaf spending much more time as a starting QB for BYU

I haven't looked at the numbers but John Beck struggled early in his career

I haven't checked, but John Beck comes to mind. So does Steve Sarkisian. And

John Beck. First start was 99.41. Averaged 104 in 2003. Was one of our most skilled QBs ever at the end of his career.

None of those also had 5 P4 opponents in their first 6 starts

I find it interesting how some CBers fall over themselves to demean past accomplishments by our poor SOS

Indy Coug

I agree it’s not fair to compare Jake’s stats to past BYU QBs given the SOS

None of those also will have to face 9 P5 opponeents to end the season

If he survives the season as a starter, that will be 14 P4 opponents in 16 starts

SMU was 9th in the nation in pass efficiency defense last year.

We'll see how SMU does this year, but I don't recall many pass breakups by SMU's

There seems to be a sizable contingent of fans that have given up on JR.

I haven’t completely given up on him, but I’m not bullish on a huge improvement either.
