I liked him. I wish we had a better QB
But he battled and helped us win some games

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.

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

Riley Nelson career INT% = 3.75%. Retzlaff = 2.67%

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

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

Oops fixed - should be JR, or Retzlaff

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

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

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

People also thought Riley was undermining Jake due to Riley’s relationship with Bronco and the team. Jake admitting he

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

Riley is on the roster, his name is McCae Hilstead.
bulletproof
9/13/24 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

compare their arm/throwing talent. Very different.

9/13/24 2:46pm
Who has better arm talent? Hilsteads numbers as a freshman at usu were better
bulletproof
9/13/24 3:34pm
Nelson was injured most of 2012, so not really a good comparison
Jericho
9/13/24 6:03pm
"arm talent" mostly referring to a ability to make all the throws, etc
wickedgame71

Yeah that’s definitely a kettle/pot situation.

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

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

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

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

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.
