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

I can’t imagine complaining about a college kid who comes to BYU to play, is made QB1, and after 2 victories is called to be benched.

Take a breath.

Give Gerry Bohanon the start vs Wyoming

DCCougFan

Sep 13, 6:37am

Green eggs n Hammy Gerry Bohanny

Haysom Till

Sep 13, 6:38am

? 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

Sep 13, 12:09pm

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