Maybe one of his many throwing motions is accurate. If that is the case we need to get him to that most often.

This sentiment is mind-blowing.... Retzlaff took major steps this season in his first full season as a starter

I think his point is he couldn’t have been worse than he was in 2023.

Yup. Retzlaff was improved but imagining this team with Dart makes me sad.

It's a grass is always greener thing. And maybe ruskie thinks he's reached his ceiling. I don't see that at all

I don’t think he makes that leap without greatly improving accuracy and that doesn’t ever really happen. But maybe it

He hit his ceiling during the season this year. He was worse at the end of it

I disagree. He was great at running the offense… until he wasn’t.

I think Retzy improves again this offseason because he won't split practice reps

His potential is not limitless. He has a ceiling and he's probably close to it.

What, specifically limits his ceiling? Arm strength? Lack of mobility? What?

Throwing motion which limits his accuracy and allows for more batted balls at

He can improve his accuracy without changing his throwing motion.

4 years post high school and he's magically going to "learn" accuracy?
foofcoug
Dec 23, 6:57pm
He can learn to take his check downs more. If he gets all #1 reps he'll improve.

Dec 23, 7:10pm
He can also learn to control his velocity better. Doesn't have to let it rip on

I hope it happens and I hope I'm wrong. He's a likable guy and a competitor.

For one, he likes to turn the ball over. He's also short and throws sidearm.

I don't think so. He's nowhere near his ceiling. No it's not limitless, but he's been a starter for 16 games.

Retlazz will have 17 starts before next season starts. Here's how other QBs have played after 17 starts under their belt

He’s played one full season of P4 football.

I think Retzlaff make great strides and is a good leader and a fine QB. QBs generally don’t learn accuracy over time and

I notice you only listed the best ones and yeah, a couple guys improved. Hope that is Jake. Where does he rank on that

I didn't include QBs with fewer than 18 starts (which is what Jake will have at the start of next year). Here's the QBs

He’s not NFL material due to mechanics. Teams did figure out to just blitz him

Someone needs to teach him how to not throw side-arm.
