him up and overemphasized controlling TOs. He does need to cut them down, but the main problems with his picks and fumbles are that they are happening near the line of scrimmage. A-ROD needs to push those routes downfield a bit.

The most promising guy is always the backup QB, right? That is until he turns...

Where did OP say that Retzlaff is the only problem? One problem at a time. Stay on subject.

At his best, he's an average or slightly above average QB. Factor in turnovers

I think that is incredibly generous TBH

He is not accurate enough to be average.

Not so fast with the fumbles, buddy.

Also, running/ option QBs are intentionally in more situations likely to fumble

But so many qbs are running qbs and Jake doesn’t even run much

About a dozen times a game. Positive net yards every game. Not running focus,

Does anyone know if the broken play he fumbled on was his fault or RB's?

How do you know it’s on ARod? We’ve seen multiple examples on replay

We can agree that not every underneath throw is called as the primary target.

There is no such thing as overemphasized controlling TOs

So how did he get one TO if not a pick and wearing green/yellow/red jerseys?

He’s also late on every throw. Even big yardage throws receivers have to come

QBs can evolve. Young and Detmer had a lot of TOs. He's not them (yet) we'll see

Young's 5 TOs cost BYU a win against a top 10 Georgia on the road.
