Rattler's Jump Pass

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.
Deliberately perverse comparison here, but couldn't we have made all the same rationalisations for Ian Book when he was pressed into service?

Coaches and pivotal players missing thanks to COVID and injuries etc. And yet, what I recall was a fairly overwhelming chorus of 'He ain't it' - feels like everyone had enough to make an early judgement on him then ...

Disclaimer: I don't have a horse in this QB race. I think they're all subpar on the roster we have now. But if we're going to discuss 'needing to see more', let's say least be consistent in how we treat the evaluation.
