He’s wrong- he’s just being supportive as a former great. I doubt

he actually has that level of faith and confidence in Jake’s ability. Also what’s critical to this discussion is you can’t tell fans what to think and expect them to listen. Fans don’t think with the head but their emotions. Fans are fanatical.

Now that I’ve said that- I am rooting for Jake to just be amazing. Go BYU

He's watched all the games and that was his opinion. By his own words

I believe that. I also believe that’s not what he really thinks. He’s being

If he didn’t like JR he’d just keep his mouth shut. He wouldn’t endorse

Well, by his own mouth he declared opposite what you think

What do you want these guys to say when they're asked

You think he didn’t expect that question before going to a Y’s Guys interview?

CougarEat

Sep 18, 8:25am

You think Giff would dodge an interview because of one question

stansburycoug

All I’m saying is if he didn’t believe in JR he certainly could have chosen to

So you're saying there's a chance....Giff Nielsen is telling a lie?? I don't

Ironic take seeing as many on CB

Why is it ironic?

SBB

Sep 18, 10:14am

Because you are questioning his perspective and assuming

ALC

Not ironic or contrary to what was expected or intended

pff agrees with him. So do the coaches. What would convince people?

Socrates Johnson

Sep 18, 11:52am

I would be saying the same thing as the coaches

SBB

Sep 18, 12:07pm

Why is pff lying for him? what's the conspiracy?

Socrates Johnson

Sep 18, 1:22pm

PFF said Retzlaff wasn't a college QB last year. What was the conspiracy then?

stansburycoug

Sep 18, 1:56pm

What if they rated him properly for how he played then and properly for how he

Socrates Johnson

Sep 18, 6:37pm

He is much better against awful competition than he has been against good(gasp)

stansburycoug

Sep 18, 8:16pm

Competition is specifically factored in to PFF. That's why Rising was not rated

Socrates Johnson

Sep 18, 8:44pm

PFF is based on an analyst grading your performance on each play

stansburycoug

Sep 18, 9:20pm

I am aware. Are you aware that they adjust it based on how hard it was for you

Socrates Johnson

Sep 18, 9:47pm

Very aware actually but its not stat driven or weighted the way you are thinking

stansburycoug

Sep 18, 10:10pm

Cam didn't check anything down. You didn't watch the game and are now indulging

Socrates Johnson

I wouldn’t call it a lie. I’d call it what I did. Being a team player

SBB

Sep 18, 1:57pm

PFF is being a team player for BYU? PFF is protecting JR from BYU's fanbase now?

Socrates Johnson

You got it! The conspiracy runs very deep!

The hard part for many fans is that Retzlaff hasn't shown enough yet this year

Too late! True fans are already onboard since he arrived at BYU, as they are

I hope Kalani got the message. Because he's seemed pretty concerned

PFF seems far more positive about JR than most cb'ers, press and odds guys

PFF absoutely destroyed Jake last year. Before you rely too much on PFF

Come on.. Giff played as a backup before most of us were born. He played college before the forward pass was big.

AltTabbins

It's just fun to have a "big game." As Giff said, just win, baby, especially
