Rattler's Jump Pass

DSnfla said
He has had opportunities. There have been times when the OL had given him time and WRs have gotten open and he has missed those opportunities. Granted they have not been plentiful but they have been there.

That's the issue though imo, those opportunities have been few and far between. There's been no consistency from our OL play in every game Rattler has played in because they have been banged up and going against top tier teams. All while playing without several key offensive skill players. The expectation from just about every rookie QB is that there will be growing pains and they will miss some open reads and not take advantage of every opportunity defenses give them.

This is why I and many others are having such a hard time judging what Rattler is. Because he hasn't had a chance for any real sustained success in the games he's been in. At times there's been some signs of him having potential to build around and then there's been some absolute headscratching moments. Ideally we see some actual consistency from our OL and skill players vs the Raiders to get a real gauge of where Rattler is at. I think if Rattler struggles vs the Raiders many will not view him as a potential starter for us or if he has a great game vs the Raiders I think there will be some optimism of what Rattler can do going forward as we (hopefully) revamp our offense.
