Is Kellen Moore not impressed with Rattler? (8 Viewers)

[44slayer]

No one was actually impressed with Rattler. The people that talk him up base it around the lack of talent around him, not the talent he actually showed on the field. Hope and a dream stuff that Rattler was Joe Montana without a Jerry Rice. Good QBs elevate the people around them. Rattler did nothing of the sort. 4 TDs, 5 INTs, 40 qbr, 70 rating and completed 57% of his passes. He was a 5th round pick, that played exactly like a 5th round pick. He is Jameis without the crab legs and a lower ceiling.

People have made him out to be some kind of cornerstone, based on his statistics in March. The whole thing with Rattler is truly absurd.

You can believe that maybe Rattler, despite what your eyes told you, can be an upper level QB if you surround him with an offense chock full of hall of fame caliber talent. But you certainly shouldnt be impressed enough to not do your homework on a potential franchise QB.

Que?

It took Kellen Moore less than 2 months to find a perfect Derek Carr replacement

Kellen Moore is walking a dangerous line by putting faith in Joe Milton III to turn things around in New Orleans.

That's just that dude's opinion man....

I do not see the issue with him targeting a QB in his first year as the HC, you want to build your roster with guys you've personally targeted regardless of position.

57% comp., 4 TD, 5 INT, 40 QBR... 0-5 W/L.

On its face, there's not much to be impressed with. He absolutely needs to bring in competition there.

I can see moore wanting to choose his QB. A lot of new coaches want his guy under center.

I can also see a new and very young first time head coach wanting a younger QB. Moore and Carr are around the same age and even played against each other in college. Lack of an age gap could become a rub in respect and chain of command. Especially if things dont go well early on.

No one was ever impressed by Ratt. We, as a fanbase, have been desperate for an elite QB since Drew left. The endless what-if threads about Jameis, Taysom, Ian, Jake, and Ratt all point to this. If we were a QB farm like GB years back, maybe, but we're not. We need a guy, and most people know neither Carr nor Ratt ain't it.

Rattler did the best he could with zero o-line, WRs/TEs, and no running game

The same could be said about Carr since he got here.

I think both Rattler and Haener should be given an opportunity to make the team next season. But I doubt either make the final roster.

The organization likes Rattler.

You need to at the most important position in football.

I don’t know. Do you want me to ask him?

I think Rattler will stick, but Haener is good as gone.

I don't think he's being cut anytime soon, since they just drafted him. However, I doubt Moore sees him as the QB of the future.
