Rattler can thrive with a banged up O-line.

Living in South Carolina I work with a big-time Gamecocks fan who has watched nearly every Rattler snap. He says Rattler played behind one of the worst O-lines in college the whole time he was there.

This makes him not only the crowd pleasing choice but the logical choice. He won't be rattled as easy by the footsteps around him.

Counterpoint: he's a rookie in the NFL playing the most difficult position.

If you don't block for him it'll be almost impossible for him to succeed. And it's not just pass pro. If you can't run the ball like last game that will make throwing even more difficult.
