I've been saying we're in bad shape for a while now. I still think it's fine for fans to be excited about potential coaches, or any young player on our roster. I don't see anyone crowning Rattler as the next Mahomes. He's a young developmental QB and it would be outstanding if he developed into a stud. There's nothing wrong with seeing potential and hoping a player blooms.
Even if it's a low chance that he develops, it's a lot more interesting of a discussion than the alternative of an 8-9/9-8 ceiling that historically comes with Derek Carr.
