News QB Spencer Rattler is a strong candidate to start in Derek Carr’s absence, sources tell Garafolo and Rapoport

Do y'all agree?

Disagree.

We all knew Trevor wasn’t the future…playing Spencer or Jake for any length of time will help us to see if either of them could be the future.

That’s the difference imo.

Gotta do something to invigorate the fan base after 3 str8 L’s. I will continue to say DA has no chance until he finds a QB that is the proper extension of him on the field.

He needs his guy, IMHO that’s Rattler.

Yet DA is a DA, that can’t be denied.

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

Well…I’m not in the Rattler fan club but…..

 

[Saint Jack]

Why am I so giddy with excitement over there terrible news?

Because there is a legit possibility that Rattler can be the long term future.

Im going get a Rattler jersey for the game this week….Man Im Excited !!!

Where?

I like DA more than most, I also think like most coaches, you can't win if you don't have good QB play. Seans great, but if he doesn't land Drew he looks like he did w/ Wilson. If Bill doesn't land Brady he looks like he did w/ Cam Newton and his young draft pick.

If Rattler is DA's guy his career trajectory as a HC could change 100%

I think Rattler is KK's guy, not DA's guy. That's why I think that Rattler will start against TB. We've seen glimpses of what Rattler can do in this system. I know it was only preseason, but he made some 2nd and 3rd stringers shine. There was definitely something that went through the entire team that wasn't there with Haener.

In one of my Madden CFMs Carr got injured for the Season and Rattler has led us to the playoffs. We’re 11-5. They only gave Spencer 90 throw power but he can make some dots!

 

[El Caliente]

I think that of the quarterbacks currently on the roster who will be available to play Sunday, Rattler has a 50% chance of starting.

 

[SonOfNOLA]

How would they know this, the day after a MNF game and no injury report to reference.

From sources close to the situation. Either Rattler’s agent after Rattler was informed the team’s direction from coaches. Or directly from team sources.

I absolutely think DA will sign off on whatever QB Kubiak wants to go with. He really risks losing the locker room if he doesn't.

This decision will be a growing experience for Kubiak as much as it will be for either of the QBs that gets the gig. He will learn what these young QBs can and cannot do and will need to learn how best to utilize their individual talents. Sadly the choice may need to be made based on who can best survive our porous offensive line. It's really a shame to have to gameplan your offense with that caveat in mind.

I’d expect Haener to start, Rattler in the 2nd half if the game gets away from Haener.

 

[fishing4food]

DA is on a 3 game losing streak but will have evasive answers with the press like it's some big top secret mission on who will be the starter . Just name Spencer Rattler and move forward

 

[Saint Jack]

I’d expect Haener to start, Rattler in the 2nd half if the game gets away from Haener.

I think it’s becoming more likely that Rattler starts.
