Neither Walsh nor Retzlaff are playing defense and special teams. Retzlaff has

been mostly good enough but has never shown the throwing acumen that Walsh did.

And Retzlaff has been a good runner but not an elite runner.

I'd take Walsh's elite throwing and immobility over Retzlaff's average throwing and good but not great running.

How does he compare to Sarks junior year?

He was shaky and not good until he put it together in the final game for an

Oh man. He's not as good as Walsh. That's just nuts

When you factor his running ability vs Walsh's total inability to run he

I.e. that 5. whatever combine 40 that got him run from the NFL draft

oxcoug

I'll take a guy who is capable of throwing over 600 yards in a game

Belboz

2:43pm

Walsh went 2-6 vs current power programs. Got destroyed on most of those

oxcoug

2:48pm

Yeah, BYU had terrible defenses those years

Belboz

2:52pm

We scored 14 and he threw three INTs vs UCLA. Hard to write that off to our D.

Some of Retzlaff's big wins (SMU and Utah)

Sure. I wouldn't argue with that. Retz made a great play to get that SMU win tho

oxcoug

3:02pm

Because our defenses sucked.

Mmm hmm. See above.

oxcoug

They were bad. Full stop. Yes walsh had some clunkers but he was a good qb.

NYCougz

FYI I’m a Retz fan but Walsh had the unenviable task of coming after detmer.

Different eras… qb’s didn’t run back then unless you’re Randall Cunningham

2:42pm

How often does Retzlaff throw for 300, 400, 500, 619 yards in a game?

Belboz

As noted above. Walsh played UTEP twice, New Mexico, etc etc. And went 2-6 and

he played schedules similar to those of Wilson, McMahon, Steve Young, Bosco

Belboz

2:54pm

McMahon and Young were a combined 9-4 vs current P4 teams. Walsh was 2-6.

That includes wins over Wisky and Mizzou in addition to the obvious four wins

Walsh went 10-3 in 1994 with a win over Notre Dame in South Bend (when ND was

I was at the USU game but in general count me unimpressed with his leadership

Walsh is very underrated in byu lore

NYCougz

2:39pm

Walsh gets a bad rap because he didn’t beat Utah and BYU had horrid defenses

arizonacougarfan

2:45pm

Yep. And followed detmer.

NYCougz

2:52pm

Wash clears— (in the words of today’s kids)

2:47pm

He can't throw the ball to the inside on that fade. That is QB 101 and speaks to your good, but not great argument.....

Bonoman

2:37pm

He is a "gamer" though and leaves it all out there. We know that, we also know the other stuff will happen too

Bonoman

2:38pm

Walsh was way better than Retzy

arizonacougarfan

2:44pm

Neither of those guys are a 10th the leader Jake is and didn’t face the competition or scrutiny. I’ll take retzlaff

Feterik seems like a really good comparison.

shoganai

2:56pm

That's pretty accurate I think. He's a pretty good QB, but not elite.

Maybe a better leader than pure QB skill, but so much improved YoY

yes, I'm glad to have him and am excited for his senior year!

He's got another year too. He improved a lot year 1 to year 2. I'd expect
