That isn't a compliment.

I'd take a healthy Riley Nelson easily, but not worse version of hurt Riley Nelson

I see a lot of potential in Retzlaff, similar to the potential I saw in T Hill

He might be comparable to Riley Nelson

I think Riley threw a prettier ball.

IMO Retzlaff has much better arm strength than Riley Nelson

Captain Stubing

Maybe a bit stronger than when Riley was healthy. But FAR less accurate.

And 40 points lower passer rating. He is significantly worse than RN

I don’t see it. But I hope I’m wrong.

He is just not very good. BYU won’t win 4 games if he is the starter

Is that Tina Hill? Or Theresa Hill? Surely you can’t mean the greatest athlete ever to play at BYU

Thumbs up because I didn't want you left hanging by yourself

Hahahaha. He is not even in the same universe as Tays. Get a grip.

True. Taysom has proven to be a Supreme athlete at the NFL level.

Except poor Retzlaff can't throw a football.

Could Taysom in the beginning?

Yes. First pass ever at BYU was a TD pass (to a teammate, not a defender)

Over his first two years Taysom only completed 55%, before improving to 62% in his last 3 at BYU. Retzlaff was 50%

It's absolutely OK to have belief in Retzlaff...but this is a weird comparison

krindorr

Feb 19, 8:14pm

They are both run first QBs whose OCs put in a lot of RPO situations. If Taysom

Captain Stubing

Feb 19, 8:32pm

Kind of like Zach Wilson and Lamar Jackson are both running QBs

krindorr

Also have two legs, two arms and hair

byuTX

Feb 19, 10:01pm

If he is the starter my highest hope is him being a comp to healthy Riley Nelson

Trent

Next time we see JR take over a game with his legs let us know

So he will be a great slot player?
