Let's get a QB from the Portal---PLEASE

ZubbyCoug

Let’s bring in a new guy who doesn’t know the system…

arcawley

Guessing we could attract a QUALITY--ready-now type

ZubbyCoug

12/29/24 5:45pm

System knowledge is more important than skill. No one will come in and

Dillon Gabriel says hello, learned a new system pretty easily.

Cougar86

12/29/24 5:46pm

A well-known QB easy system…also DG was a top-10 qb at OU…

12/29/24 5:50pm

Dillon Gabriel "ain't walkin through that door." So tell us who you think BYU should get and tell us how much interest

At a minimum, we need a

I don’t wanna pay up for an unknown that Jake might still beat out

arcawley

We had a competition. He won.

I don’t have a problem with that but it needs to be a young guy that won’t take

Name some names. Who is out there?

fattycoug

12/29/24 7:07pm

I feel like I recall our QB winning a few games down the stretch

Rexy Coug

12/29/24 5:46pm

More accurately he threw game losing interceptions down the stretch.

shakarocks

12/29/24 6:21pm

How about the OK St and Utah games?

RGGeemer

12/29/24 6:27pm

I consider those games middle of the season.

shakarocks

12/29/24 6:52pm

I meant down the stretch as nearing the end of a game…not last games of season

Rexy Coug

12/29/24 7:00pm

Right. Thought that was obvious

RGGeemer

12/29/24 7:21pm

It could go either way.

Give me another year of Retzlaff’s heart and hustle

To be clear: I'm very happy for us to get a QB from the portal. But

Guy leads us to an 11-2 record against arguably the toughest schedule in BYU

WaybackCougar

12/29/24 5:54pm

FYI not his Senior Year- JC doesn’t count per new rules

wildwilderness

12/29/24 5:57pm

These "fans" have no idea which QBs are in the portal and available to us. It's almost like they think that there is

HarlemCoug

12/29/24 6:01pm

This is a bit too glass is half full with Retzlaff

BYU '80

12/29/24 6:06pm

So what should we do? We aren't getting a better qb in the portal. We should just keep posting that Jake isn't good

HarlemCoug

12/29/24 6:19pm

Well in my post I clearly said we aren’t getting a better portal qb

BYU '80

12/29/24 7:17pm

Somewhere in between. He threw nearly as many ints as the worst qbs in the

BYU '80

12/29/24 6:04pm

Carson Beck, Jalon Daniels, and Noah Fifita all threw as many or more.

SoCalCoug

12/29/24 6:22pm

2/3 of those guys weren’t good. Raiola was a true frosh

BYU '80

12/29/24 7:16pm

Retzlaff 2024: 7.2 yards per play; Sark 1995: 7.0 yards per play.

SoCalCoug

12/29/24 6:16pm

How many TDs and Ints did Sark have? Completion percentage?

BYU '80

12/29/24 6:18pm

Both had 20 passing TD's; Retzlaff had 6 rushing TD's to Sark's 6.

SoCalCoug

12/29/24 6:28pm

Well Retzlaff will also have to improve dramatically to get there

BYU '80

12/29/24 7:18pm

You clearly are off the Retzlaff bandwagon and are interpreting

SoCalCoug

12/29/24 8:15pm

Not even arguable

macdizzle

12/29/24 6:26pm

He did. And I'm good with him starting next year. But more than any other year that I can recall, our QB...

Brisco

12/29/24 6:33pm

I want them to bring someone in to compete and challenge Jake, but I would

Duke Silver

12/29/24 5:55pm

We might be the worst fanbase in America. So ungrateful. Jake is our QB next year, but go ahead and keep throwing shade

HarlemCoug

12/29/24 5:56pm

Most fanbases would see how mediocre at best he is. Look at the numbers

BYU '80

12/29/24 6:19pm

But not all the numbers; only the negative ones.

SoCalCoug

12/29/24 6:30pm

So tell us who should replace him.

HarlemCoug

12/29/24 7:13pm

I bet the majority of fan bases would have taken him and his production this season. Just stop

Nuke

12/29/24 7:42pm

I feel like CB has a highly inflated idea of what a good college QB looks like

RGGeemer

12/29/24 8:27pm

You will not get a better QB than Retzlaff in the portal. Sure he has a few flaws but he’s a leader & a playmaker.

RdF3

12/29/24 5:59pm

Sure BYU will reward the guy that got them to 11-2 in Big XII by dumping him for

Best realistic hope is that Jake makes a big jump from this year to next and

So make a wish?

ZubbyCoug

12/29/24 6:18pm

Why do you hate him?

SoCalCoug

12/29/24 6:29pm

That's your best option, because we just went 11-2 with him at the helm. The

It's not a wish. He's going to be working at it. Not any more of a wish than

90% of the QB's in the protal are not as good as what we have.

This needs to be stickied and put in neon type for everyone in the back.

runnincoug

12/29/24 9:29pm

I'm curious as to why ARod sends in pass plays in the red zone when he knows that's a weakness for Jake.

Brisco

12/29/24 6:24pm

Letting the perfect be the enemy of the good

Cougar Junkie

12/29/24 6:24pm

I’d rather Jake make a John Beck-esque leap. Senior year Beck was light years better than his Sophomore and Junior self.
