Is Rattler your guy next year?

Which could be a win/win scenario. If we spend this draft working on shoring up some talent on skill positions/trenches. Give Rattler the reigns next year to either sink or swim. In other words, Rattler either continues his development and shows he can be our long term QB, or he flounders and we get a top pick next year with a better constructed roster for a top QB prospect (Hopefully Manning?) to come into.

Doesn't work like you think it does. A massive problem is that after that kind of season, your current roster is in a moral mindset of "I'm just here to collect a check" mentality. It would take a massive boon, ala Jayden Daniels style to jumpstart that roster back into competitive mode.

It's a big reason why teams that end up with high picks often linger there. It's a hard culture to change and many coaches/GM's fail at it. Browns, Raiders, Jets have been stuck in that rut the longest. Giants too since a year or two before Eli Manning retired. Browns can't be forgotten either.

And if you think its easy to fix, you're kidding yourself. It took the Lions a long time before Campbell came along with his squad and changed it.
