Could Rattler be our QB1 after another year or 2 of development? (merged)

And his future development should be a priority moving forward. Carr is still QB1 but should be seen as a bridge, not someone you build around.

Cameron Jordan said Rattler was “playing his arse off” and that “the way the energy felt, there wasn’t anybody on the sideline that didn’t think we were going to make” the 2-point conversion to win the game.

The above is not only an endorsement of Rattler as a QB but of Rizzi indirectly. I love the way he handles players and situations. Not getting the 2-point conversion and winning isn’t nearly as important as the message being sent by Rizzi’s decision.

It says I trust you guys as a team in big moments and is a big vote of confidence to players.

No disrespect, DA would have kicked the field goal. We would have lost in OT due to questionable coaching and it would have been far more demoralizing. Even though the play-call to roll Rattler out and eliminate half the field is suspect, they were still inches away from winning. It was an honorable death, for lack of better words.

Rattler may or may not be future QB1 as he still needs a ton of seasoning, but he’s obviously a dish worth preparing.

If we want to get another year out of Cam Jordan, keep him at that weight and limit his snaps to 3rd down rusher only. His run defense has gone down the drain, but he still attacks blockers in the passrush voraciously.

Had Adebo not been injured, Alontae Taylor would be playing in Marshon’s vacated spot at boundary CB (short side of field) where he belongs. Go back and look at his rookie highlights to see why I say this.

Get Kendre Miller more touches. He’s the right amount of POW to compliment AK’s more smooth running style.

Despite a couple of questionable calls against him, Dante Fowler Jr’s motor runs at the level coaches want to see from Chase Young.

The defense looks less leaky under Woods but isn’t getting the turnovers it was getting earlier in the season, specifically from the safety position.
