Spencer Rattler named starting QB ; Jay Glazer reports Rattler expected to start next 3-4 games (month) until Carr’s return

Can't argue with your points. His placement on deep and sideline throws is impressive. The only counter argument would be Rattler's inconsistent accuracy/placement on crossing routes over the middle. We saw that show up in the preseason as well. Some of those could have been caught, but they were all at least a yard behind where they should have been placed. Those routes technically provide the smallest catch radius, least ability for WR's to adjust to the throw, and lowest probability of a perfectly placed throw by nature of a speedy WR running full speed across your face. It was my most difficult throw to deliver in stride consistently and I think a lot of QB's struggle with it.

He'll get more consistent at those throws with more reps and coaching. I'm just thankful we have something to look forward to this weekend instead of a backup QB Nathan Peterman type game where we're lucky to make it to halftime before we turn the TV off in favor of reorganizing our tools (funnn).

That's fair. I haven't seen much of his throwing crossing routes, but I do recall that he was a bit off in preseason. That could be a lack of time with those receivers or just an issue he has, but you are right that it is something he needs to work on. It's fairly minor, but it is the kind of thing that separates good from great. The good news is his other throws seem to have good ball placement so it appears to be something he can fix if he puts the work in.
