I’m on team GBo but I’m not in favor of starting him against Wyoming.

He needed to earn that in fall camp and he didn’t. Retzlaff won the starting job and until he costs us a win he will probably keep it. If coaches were to pull his starting job while the team is 2-0 they would lose the locker room and that would have far greater negative impact than the turnovers which every QB is vulnerable to.

Give Gerry Bohanon the start vs Wyoming

Green eggs n Hammy Gerry Bohanny

Haysom Till

? you breaking some news here?

inertiaman

Sep 13, 6:43am

Not at all.

DCCougFan

Sep 13, 6:47am

Moons over my?

Jimo Dashen

Sep 13, 6:43am

All of fall camp was his audition for the starting job

Indy Coug

Sep 13, 6:46am

But that is not a real game situation and Wyoming is low stakes.

DCCougFan

Sep 13, 6:47am

Listen, if I’m really that set on Retzlaff not playing, then I’d really be concerned about playing a guy

Indy Coug

Sep 13, 6:49am

So instead we just trust ARod is the perfect QB evaluator and none of the dozen

tacallaway

Sep 13, 7:27am

So you’re trusting ARod will get more out of a player he wasn’t able to develop sufficiently?

Indy Coug

Sep 13, 7:28am

I'd argue that Bohannon is better equipped to make things happen off schedule

tacallaway

Sep 13, 7:44am

And you base that conclusion on what?

StantonMac

Sep 13, 8:39am

I base that on his play at Baylor, don't need to be in practice to see that

tacallaway

Sep 13, 8:54am

In fairness, Charlie Brewer was also really good at Baylor

krindorr

Sep 13, 9:03am

I'm not saying Gerry will be good, I'm saying it's hard for him to be worse

tacallaway

Sep 13, 9:22am

He had one good season 3 years ago, after which he was demoted and transferred

StantonMac

Sep 13, 9:09am

Sure, but we're not comparing Bohannon with a good QB here

tacallaway

Sep 13, 9:21am

You would also be comparing every other QBs final career statistics with

StantonMac

Sep 13, 10:08am

That's an extremely generous comparison. A bad game in his sixth start?

tacallaway

Sep 13, 10:21am

He has not had 5 bad games

StantonMac

Sep 13, 10:43am

Bad QBs sometimes make good plays, but in the aggregate he's been terrible

tacallaway

Sep 13, 10:59am

There's a whole world between "played well" and "was awful"

StantonMac

Sep 13, 12:19pm

Once again, you're putting too much emphasis on the game result

tacallaway

Sep 13, 2:00pm

Shrill criticism of Retzlaff makes me want to root for him for next 1.5 years

MarylandFan

Sep 13, 2:28pm

So when he loses us a game, then you'll consider criticism valid?

tacallaway

Sep 13, 4:34pm

I think more patience is in order

MarylandFan

Sep 13, 5:30pm

Oh, I definitely put the entire blame on ARod/Sitake. Jake is trying his best.

tacallaway

Sep 13, 5:38pm

Ahhh, film from the same year as Zach’s rookie year with the Jets…

arcawley

Sep 13, 10:22am

Still better than the guy who's proven he's terrible in all his FBS games

tacallaway

Sep 13, 10:29am

Bohanon since 2021 has a passer rating of 117.9…

arcawley

Sep 13, 10:34am

Oh, so stats from the same year as Zach's sophomore year with the Jets are fine?

tacallaway

Sep 13, 10:51am

RE: I'd argue that Bohannon is better equipped to make things happen off

OldFogey

Sep 13, 8:57am

Your trust or lack of trust won't change the starters on Saturday

2FarGone

Sep 13, 7:29am

Fair enough. But if we're all screaming into the void anyway, then everyone

tacallaway

Sep 13, 8:00am

“Baghdad Bob”

MarylandFan

Sep 13, 10:31am

Yup, and I'd like that to continue

tacallaway

Sep 13, 11:02am

I trust Arod more than 100% of cougarboard

kaladin58

Sep 13, 7:34am

And I'm sure you trusted Tuiaki more than 100% of CB. Coaches aren't infallible

stansburycoug

Sep 13, 9:20am

Oh sure, support one coach support em all. Great straw man there.

kaladin58

Sep 13, 9:45am

This is such a common fallacy on CB. You don't need to be better at something

tacallaway

Sep 13, 10:15am

Thanks, except I never said there was nothing wrong happening with play calling

kaladin58

Sep 13, 11:27am

Green jersey changes a lot of things in camp just ask Jake Heaps

stansburycoug

Sep 13, 7:55am

BYU isn't good enough to take any opponent for granted

RockyBalboa

Sep 13, 7:10am

We should absolutely destroy Wyoming but given Kalani's track

gopman

Sep 13, 7:44am

I don't know what KS did to hurt you, but you gotta let it go.

kaladin58

Sep 13, 8:49am

Low stakes? It's absolutely a game we need to and should win. That's not the

basman

Sep 13, 7:51am

It was. And from multiple comments made by a-rod, the two were very close as far as competition goes.

unctoothman

Sep 13, 7:47am

Reports are that Retzlaff pulled far head a week & a half before

gopman

Sep 13, 7:51am

And Retzlaff had 4 games last year and 2 games this year for his audition.

elderyoda

Sep 13, 8:02am

And he’s still terrible vs FBS

byuTX

Sep 13, 10:20am

He had an audition during fall camp.

Zombre

Sep 13, 6:48am

You don’t bench your starter who won on the road against one of the toughest returning defenses we face all year

2FarGone

Sep 13, 7:13am

starting two QB's worked well for SMU

kaladin58

Sep 13, 7:13am

Cliché but true: the most popular player on most football teams is the backup QB

Japan Coug

Sep 13, 7:36am

When your team doesn't have a good QB, yes it is true.

Duke Silver

Sep 13, 7:46am

I would replace the word “good” with the word “superstar”, based on what I’ve

Japan Coug

Sep 13, 7:52am

Valid point - compare Utah fans respective opinions of Cam Rising and Isaac Wilson

krindorr

Sep 13, 8:33am

Rising barely plays, so he can't be blamed for losses. He's been romanticized by

Japan Coug

Sep 13, 10:24am

Retzlaff still has the job although his leash is getting shorter.

gopman

Sep 13, 7:40am

Audition was held. Gerry came up short.

PhilPete

Sep 13, 8:05am

Nah. Just have a quick hook.

boctabulous

Sep 13, 12:08pm

Are you saying that SMU and WYO are comparable teams?.

travelcoug

Sep 13, 10:40am

Disagree. If anything, they should each get a half

MaximusMeridius

Sep 13, 10:40am

Gerry maybe the best fit if RBs are broken.

ParentingNotForSissy

Sep 13, 10:44am

Start Jake but give Gerry some quality playing time. We don’t need to

texaskevin

Sep 13, 10:56am

Yep. If we are up 28-6 or something going into the 4th quarter then put in

boctabulous

I’m on team GBo but I’m not in favor of starting him against Wyoming.
