The addition of both Rettig and Jennings is strange enough by itself because they play two totally opposite styles.

Have you ever watched their tape, at all? Once? Jennings is not a typical dual threat QB. He has pretty refined passing skills, and chooses to pass over running most of the time. Rettig is a true pocket passer who
(I think) is a little better at passing than Jennings. He can't scramble as well (or at all, really), but he is capable of moving around in or near the pocket and can escape/roll out much better than Mett.

They play very similarly. It is not a JJ/JL type thing where one couldn't hit 4 skyscrapers lined up with a pass and the other has his feet glued to the pocket and his eyes glued to his target.

Overly descriptive. TL;dr they're similar guys. Rettig is a slightly better passer with little to no scramble ability, Jennings can scramble when needed but chooses not to often.
