I dont see how this applies here. I think there is a bit of homerism with Rattler. Arm talent, ask Jeff George about that. I just didnt see much that I would be building a franchise around, or deciding if a coach should stay or go. He played exactly like a late round rookie would play. I get there were injuries. But he didnt elevate anyone. He played like a 5th round QB with a depleted offense.
Its not like you said, man if this team were healthy, this guy would be lights out. He is just not even in that kind of conversation. He just wasnt impressive outside of a couple of decen throws. Any NFL rostered QB can make a couple of impressive plays here and there. He is painfully far away from being in a position to have a franchise built around him.
It gets like that around here. I feel like there was a short period of time where Adrian Mcpherson was the original Spencer Rattler, until he took a snap from under guard and got runt over by a golf cart.
