Could Kingsbury replicate his offense with Spencer Rattler?

I think the opposite. I don't think Carr is a selling point for any HC. I would have to imagine that most candidates want to start their regime here with a fresh QB. No one wants to build around Carr, and starting him will win you enough games just to have a middle of the pack pick, stunting your ability to draft one of the drafts top QB's.

If I'm positioning myself for this job, I'm saying that we see what Rattler has for a season, and if he doesn't have it, I want to to find my guy in 2026.

Anybody that doesn't go with the best player available probably shouldn't be HC. And right now, that's Carr. But a HC does need to have a plan for after Carr. That could certainly be Rattler.
