Falter in the last few games of the season. A better QB and we make the B12 Playoff...then who knows.

Had we needed strong QB play against CU, we would have lost.

The bottom line---JR is serviceable, but we need to build the QB room.

Face it...our QB play

So is the answer to chuck him, or develop him some more?

Was the answer to fire Tuiaki, or develop him some more?

BYU shouldn’t be developing coordinators. BYU should be developing players

Littlerich

Stop. byubyu thinks he's being clever.

Indy Coug

Jan 10, 12:13pm

We'd still have Tuiaki if it was up to you. Every year a new reason why we had

Develop him

This is the right answer

I agree, but how to you develop good decision making? I'm sure the coaches

As long as “develop” doesn’t = Heaps “development”

And don’t be in a position in the future where someone of Jake’s caliber

Develop him as best you can while bringing in the best possible QBs to compete with him via recruiting or transfers.

Not sure about the CO game, but he wasn’t healthy for the ASU or Kansas games.

W KU he was injured enough that he probably shouldn't have played.

We did not need a better QB to make the playoffs.

QB play (Fade throw pick in the endzone) was as much to blame as anything else

Face it- defensive failures wld have given Ok St their only conf win (w a backup

Jan 10, 12:21pm

So you pointed out one game where the QB saved the defense

I guess probably in the 18-13 win at Hawaii and the 20-14 win at Pitt

While I like Jake, he needs to take the next step. We need him better.

The solution is to go get the best QB recruit you can and let them compete. If

Absolutely. May the best man win!

honestly i'd take retzlaff over a lot of qbs I saw in the playoff. We need to be

I'm excited for Retzlaff & his future. He has both the work ethic &

I don't think you can debate any of this. 100% true

You think wrong. Team sport. Team wins, team losses. Jake was the key guy in

Meh….Any team that loses a game can make that statement

Chicago Cougar

Jan 10, 2:42pm

Not at all true. There's plenty of teams that have deficiencies in areas other

MaximusMeridius

Jan 10, 2:50pm

Most disturbing to me isn't JR's play, but the lack of a backup with any

Same thing happened with Jaren Hall. The ND game was completely winnable with a

GB should have been getting snaps during the season.

What drives me crazy is hearing after a loss that the QB was hurt. Riley Nelson

Jan 10, 3:09pm

Whoa, now that's a tough position to defend, but you have the fallback that

If he can get the picks under control he is more than serviceable. Let's see.

Didn’t we go tru this last offseason?

lalochile

A healthy qb1 would have done it, too. It's hard to stay healthy through 13 games

QB isn’t the problem. Its the O-Co

I have to admit, I'd prefer Sam Leavitt. Sorry, feel free to thumb me down.

Jake Retzlaff has a great work ethic & ambitious drive.

gopman

Jan 10, 9:42pm

I love Jake, always proving the doubters wrong. He will do the same next year.

ethanator

Jan 10, 9:45pm

I like enthusiasm and hope you're right. I'm certainly not rooting against him.

sah22

Jan 10, 9:59pm

I want Kalani, ARod, Retzlaff & the entire offense going into spring

gopman

Jan 10, 10:07pm

The INTs worry me. If he fixes that, we're already much improved. I'm not sure

With Jaxon Dart we win Big12 and make playoff. But a number of teams could say that. there are only so many Jaxon darts.
