Since Riley is allegedly so “hated,” surely he is sympathetic to the current

Riley is hated?

I don’t hate Riley, but I sure hated his recklessness.

Ham

Maybe not hated, but many CB posters were very very critical of him.

During his playing time?

And aside from SIU, Jake has had much more difficult opponents. Not any sort

That’s not how the game is played though. You only use SOS to diminish good performances against bad teams

Jake's biggest issue is how often he fumbles

Jericho

Now do all turnovers and record

No. I think this speaks for itself with regards to interceptions.

Did RN mention how his play was without fault or suggest JR should play...

Riley willed the team to a few victories through sheer toughness and leadership

Who’s BR?

Oops fixed - should be JR, or Retzlaff

Lets compare fumbles..

In the article Riley says "and I struggled with that too."

Most of us don’t hate Riley but we hate that Bronco played him when he had a

As I recall, it was that Bronco let Riley convince him to to let him play with

Congrats on your “knowing what would have happened” super power

Look at Rileys stat line for that BSU game and tell me he didn't make us lose

marinact

Sep 14, 1:26pm

I liked him. I wish we had a better QB

The hate was past tense. Also, I don't think you fully understood my post,

I’d take Riley to start over anyone on the roster.

shimmy

Sep 13, 2:30pm

Riley is on the roster, his name is McCae Hilstead.

bulletproof

Sep 13, 2:38pm

If he didn’t spell his name McCae I’d be calling on him to start. I’ve said he has the most talent.

Not his fault momma didn’t like him enough to give a normally spelled name

So gritty dude playing through a broken back with rock hard abs?

Big12Yfan

Sep 13, 2:42pm

compare their arm/throwing talent. Very different.

wickedgame71

Sep 13, 2:46pm

Who has better arm talent? Hilsteads numbers as a freshman at usu were better

bulletproof

Sep 13, 3:34pm

Nelson was injured most of 2012, so not really a good comparison

Jericho

Sep 13, 6:03pm

"arm talent" mostly referring to a ability to make all the throws, etc

wickedgame71

Sep 13, 6:55pm

Yeah that’s definitely a kettle/pot situation.

Mr Salad

I don't feel it should matter if RN was similar or worse than JR re his eval...

wickedgame71

Sep 13, 2:41pm

I hate that he chose to throw it into the ground against ND like he had

Longseason

'11 RN had a 152.9 PER & 392 net rush yds...That's very good production...

Riley was one of my favorites of all time. Shame he got hurt

Criticism does not equal hate. We don’t hate Riley. Do you think Riley hates Retzlaff? Its criticism, not hate.

Atmospheric_Cougar

Sep 13, 10:44pm

Rielly and Jake are similar, but Rielly couldn’t really throw

KYU

People don’t hate Riley. There’s actually a lot to admire about him. Lots of grit. Just not an elite passer.

His field vision was so good, pre-injury his arm was plenty strong enough to have gone very far.
