I think he is better than Hoover and Fifita

Fifita has the luxury of throwing to someone who might be the best receiver in CFB

I think Retzlaff is great, but our receivers are also pretty amazing.

The OL has been as well

cougaman

10/29/24 2:19pm

IMO the place he needs to improve the most on is his completion percentage. He is at 59.6%...

Adrielle

10/29/24 9:56am

ARod specifically mentioned that they are coaching him to throw it away

AllHailTheOverlord

10/29/24 10:05am

I'll take a throw away over an interception if that is what it comes down to.

10/29/24 10:18am

3% seems low, unless you’re concluding 3% worse than average

coug92

10/29/24 11:09am

I'm just thinking it's about 3% as I don't consider every ball that a receiver touches catchable

Adrielle

10/29/24 11:21am

But that concludes only 1 out of roughly 30 passes has been a true drop.

coug92

10/29/24 11:31am

Yeah...I'm not sure TBH...This is probably going to be somewhat subjective...

Adrielle

10/29/24 11:39am

Fifita is the best overall QB in the big12 IMO

davidmj10

10/29/24 12:30pm

I think it's Sanders

Adrielle

10/29/24 12:36pm

Actually I would agree with that. I just ignore him because

davidmj10

10/29/24 2:23pm

Fafita and Johnson are IMO the two best QBs we played this year.

Adrielle

10/29/24 2:29pm

He’s been awful this year. Maybe it’s his OL and new coaches, but his numbers

Odysseus

His OL gives him no time. Watch him move in the pocket though he is so good.

10/29/24 4:08pm

I am not sure, though he and Jake have traded situations (good line and running

I'm excited to see what he can do his senior year..he started off slow this year

MaximusMeridius

10/29/24 9:50am

Couldn't agree more. I hope his upward progression continues.

10/29/24 10:49am

We never doubted him for a second

YOHONOMOTO

10/29/24 9:51am

Just like we never doubted Etienne

MaximusMeridius

10/29/24 9:57am

The offensive line coaching and execution is bigger for his improvement than...

DazeofBlue

10/29/24 9:59am

I am surprised at the jump he has made since the start of the season

BYUheaven

10/29/24 10:02am

He's also 28th in Total Offense, at 272 yds/game

Japan Coug

10/29/24 10:05am

I think this is a better metric due to his running ability which is underrated.

MHallDidNothingWr0ng

10/29/24 10:12am

And he's #21 in Total Points Responsible For per game (passing + rushing TDs)

Japan Coug

10/29/24 10:59am

Love to see the #'s and improvement-Jake is a DAWG also, which counts for a lot!

ElkhunterUT

10/29/24 10:47am

He has a knack of getting first downs with his legs when there isn’t a lot of

Retzlaff PER in 2023 = 97, in 2024 = 147

VB2

10/29/24 12:41pm

Just the norm per ARod. Haha, yeah, I would say it has been accelerated

SoBlueitHurts

10/29/24 3:37pm

The improvement from game to game is actually the most impressive thing

stansburycoug

10/29/24 1:13pm

I’m seeing Fifita as 12th in the Big 12 in pass efficiency…

Odysseus

10/29/24 2:36pm

Based on eye test only, I would rank top 5 BIG XII QBs as of now as follows

ElkhunterUT

10/29/24 2:44pm

I haven’t seen Hoover or Sorsby, but their numbers are top 5 worthy

Odysseus

10/29/24 3:01pm

Sorsby has been good and arguably up there also, not so sure on Hoover but I

ElkhunterUT

10/29/24 3:17pm

Johnson is so up and down. Against us I thought he should just be a running back

SoBlueitHurts

10/29/24 3:39pm

One word - blocking, makes or breaks a QB.
