FOX8 Sean Fazende’s take on Rattler/Haener backup QB situation
That’s an insane statement. You’re saying a guy who threw 17 TDs and 5 ints and has an 87.7 QB rating has stats similar to someone with 2 TDs, 2 INTs and a rating of 62?
While we're at it, here is Caleb Williams' rookie season, the guy who was picked #1, installed as the unquestioned starter in the preseason, and has taken every meaningful snap for the Bears this year with a healthier cast surrounding him:

All things considered, Rattler's passing averages compare reasonably well with Williams', including a lower sack%, and he has a higher average per rush. It's HARD to play well as a rookie QB on a bad team. Within that context, I wouldn't say that Rattler has "severely struggled". He's a good developmental prospect and should start our last 3 games.
