Rattler's Jump Pass

TribuneUK said

You have to acknowledge the physical potential, agreed. But I also perceive a natural trend among us as fans to 'see the potential' and disregard negative flags / performance for our favourites, with the latter being greeted by the 'need to see more' rationale. Hence the reason I picked a fairly extreme comparison where, if someone 'saw the potential' in Book, they could call on similar excuses.

There are certainly times when that happens among fans for sure. I just don't see this situation with Rattler as one of those times quite yet. Like I've said in previous posts, I just want to see how Rattler does in a game that should have a "neutral" game script (if not slightly favor us) like this game vs the Raiders. It's the type of game that should offer a better idea of how Rattler can manage a game behind center for us when he isn't instantly forced to "play catch up" against a superior team while working with our "B" team on offense.

Prior to the Green Bay game, I made a post with a comparison of how Carr and Rattler had done this season against teams with winning records at the time. The stats weren't that much different between the 2 of them. Which is another reason to see how Rattler looks in a game vs an average/bad team, which the Raiders will be the first team he plays that isn't a playoff caliber team.
