Could Kingsbury replicate his offense with Spencer Rattler?

He shows flashes, and I get that, but the odds that a fifth-round guy will turn into a franchise quarterback or even a solid backup are quite low. The pragmatic route is to go with Carr and look for a quarterback in the first round in 2026. Every guy in the NFL has potential, but this fantasy that a mid-round guy will be elite just because he was a top recruit in high school is unrealistic.

Carr is the pragmatic route and probably what a HC would want.

As far as Rattler, I think he showed he has everything you need to be very good. He needs to work on his ball placement and timing. And he also needs to learn not to put the ball in bad situations when pressing, but the only way to really improve on those things is to play. I'm not sure he will be good, but he has a much better shot at it than Haener. And, the only way to find out is for him to play.

And as someone already pointed out, playing Carr probably means you win too many games to be in position to draft a QB in 2026. If that means playoffs, then great. but if that means 7 or 8 wins, it's not a great position to be in.

At any rate, the next HC is going to have to figure out what to do long term at QB. Whether you think he's terrible or good, he's not going to be the long term answer given his age.
