Retzlaff is the presumptive starter and has the belief and backing of the guys who have been around him on and off the field, games and practices, for the last 18 months.

Let's get a QB from the Portal---PLEASE

Let’s bring in a new guy who doesn’t know the system…

Guessing we could attract a QUALITY--ready-now type

ZubbyCoug

System knowledge is more important than skill. No one will come in and

Dillon Gabriel says hello, learned a new system pretty easily.

A well-known QB easy system…also DG was a top-10 qb at OU…

Dillon Gabriel "ain't walkin through that door." So tell us who you think BYU should get and tell us how much interest

I don’t wanna pay up for an unknown that Jake might still beat out

We had a competition. He won.

I don’t have a problem with that but it needs to be a young guy that won’t take

fattycoug

12/29/24 7:07pm

I feel like I recall our QB winning a few games down the stretch

Rexy Coug

12/29/24 5:46pm

More accurately he threw game losing interceptions down the stretch.

shakarocks

12/29/24 6:21pm

How about the OK St and Utah games?

RGGeemer

12/29/24 6:27pm

I consider those games middle of the season.

shakarocks

12/29/24 6:52pm

I meant down the stretch as nearing the end of a game…not last games of season

Rexy Coug

12/29/24 7:00pm

Right. Thought that was obvious

RGGeemer

12/29/24 7:21pm

It could go either way.

Guy leads us to an 11-2 record against arguably the toughest schedule in BYU

FYI not his Senior Year- JC doesn’t count per new rules

wildwilderness

12/29/24 5:57pm

These "fans" have no idea which QBs are in the portal and available to us. It's almost like they think that there is

This is a bit too glass is half full with Retzlaff

BYU '80

12/29/24 6:06pm

So what should we do? We aren't getting a better qb in the portal. We should just keep posting that Jake isn't good

HarlemCoug

12/29/24 6:19pm

Well in my post I clearly said we aren’t getting a better portal qb

BYU '80

12/29/24 7:17pm

Somewhere in between. He threw nearly as many ints as the worst qbs in the

BYU '80

12/29/24 6:04pm

Carson Beck, Jalon Daniels, and Noah Fifita all threw as many or more.

SoCalCoug

12/29/24 6:22pm

2/3 of those guys weren’t good. Raiola was a true frosh

BYU '80

12/29/24 7:16pm

Retzlaff 2024: 7.2 yards per play; Sark 1995: 7.0 yards per play.

SoCalCoug

12/29/24 6:16pm

How many TDs and Ints did Sark have? Completion percentage?

BYU '80

12/29/24 6:18pm

Both had 20 passing TD's; Retzlaff had 6 rushing TD's to Sark's 6.

SoCalCoug

12/29/24 6:28pm

Well Retzlaff will also have to improve dramatically to get there

BYU '80

12/29/24 7:18pm

You clearly are off the Retzlaff bandwagon and are interpreting

SoCalCoug

12/29/24 8:15pm

Not even arguable

macdizzle

He did. And I'm good with him starting next year. But more than any other year that I can recall, our QB...

I want them to bring someone in to compete and challenge Jake, but I would

Duke Silver

12/29/24 5:55pm

We might be the worst fanbase in America. So ungrateful. Jake is our QB next year, but go ahead and keep throwing shade

HarlemCoug

12/29/24 5:56pm

Most fanbases would see how mediocre at best he is. Look at the numbers

BYU '80

12/29/24 6:19pm

But not all the numbers; only the negative ones.

SoCalCoug

12/29/24 6:30pm

So tell us who should replace him.

HarlemCoug

12/29/24 7:13pm

I bet the majority of fan bases would have taken him and his production this season. Just stop

Nuke

I feel like CB has a highly inflated idea of what a good college QB looks like

RGGeemer

12/29/24 8:27pm

You will not get a better QB than Retzlaff in the portal. Sure he has a few flaws but he’s a leader & a playmaker.

RdF3

12/29/24 5:59pm

Sure BYU will reward the guy that got them to 11-2 in Big XII by dumping him for

Why do you hate him?

That's your best option, because we just went 11-2 with him at the helm. The

90% of the QB's in the protal are not as good as what we have.

This needs to be stickied and put in neon type for everyone in the back.

I'm curious as to why ARod sends in pass plays in the red zone when he knows that's a weakness for Jake.

Cougar Junkie

I’d rather Jake make a John Beck-esque leap. Senior year Beck was light years better than his Sophomore and Junior self.
