Maybe some feel that way still, but Retzlaff will need to win some games this year for us against decent teams to make some noise. Defense alone won't be enough because the run game is still a struggle.
He has certainly been impactful this year and overall is doing a solid job. He isn't a star yet, but he is better than most expected and making some big plays with his arm. He certainly has a good arm, despite his smaller frame.
