Allen better not mess around with naming Rattler QB#2

I will never understand why this is such a big deal to fans. It's crazy! We have spent more time this off season discussing what Allen better do with the number 2 QB spot than anything else.

We are keeping both, it does not matter who gets the number 2 nod. If and when this bad OL gets Carr hurt, then we can worry about it. Rattler could be the number 3 and Carr get hurt in week 8, Rattler in those 8 weeks could make up the difference and then be the number 2. Rattler could be the number 2 and regress and be the 3.

I have given Allen hell over the last year, but this just seems like a lot of people looking for a reason to pile on. Spencer looks more like a NFL QB than Jake has yet in his career and Spencer certainly is more athletic with the ball in his hands which is valuable with a terrible OL like we have. So, I think he should be the number 2, but it isn't the end of the world regardless and unless Carr gets hurt or is just awful you would not see Spencer as a starter here until the season after next.

If Carr has to miss any games due to injury, I think Kubiak will give Hill a lot more snaps at QB to take pressure off of either Haener or Rattler. Hill at QB in a bootleg & rollout based offense would put a lot of pressure on the defense. Making the defense prepare for Hill as a run pass option QB and moving all across the alignment when either Haener or Rattler is at QB would put a lot of pressure on defenses and take a lot of pressure off of the two young and inexperienced QB's.

Neither Haener or Rattler has taken a single snap against a defense full of starters that have game planned and running complex and confusing schemes. We won't know how Haener or Rattler would do against that. Preseason is a mirage when it comes to starting against another team's best starters throwing everything they can at you. That's why a lot of QB's look great in preseason, but struggle a lot during the regular season.

The only QB on the roster behind Carr who has had success as a QB during the regular season is Hill and I think Kubiak knows and values that.
