I wouldn't want my worst enemy behind our line. Cruel and inhumane.

 

[Mr. Sparkle]

I will just say this - I am far more likely to use my tickets to go see Spencer Rattler than Jake Haener. If it’s Jake I’m enjoying the cool weather on Sunday and pawning my tix.

I think it was Mike Triplett that pointed out that while Haener has been game day backup because he is a better fit behind Carr, they are technically co-second team QBs. Either of them could start and it wouldn't require changing the depth chart or demoting anyone.

The Goal is simple. Find different ways to Put the ball in your playmakers hands and it’s gonna be very helpful if we get Ruiz and Taysom back this week as well.

The optimist in me wants Spencer Rattler to be 2001 Tom Brady and Carr to be Bledsoe.

Why am I so giddy with excitement over there terrible news?

Because we have two young signal callers that could be the future at the position.

I was already going and still am but would be way more excited to see Rattler

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

Do y'all agree?

Disagree.

We all knew Trevor wasn’t the future…playing Spencer or Jake for any length of time will help us to see if either of them could be the future.

That’s the difference imo.

Gotta do something to invigorate the fan base after 3 str8 L’s. I will continue to say DA has no chance until he finds a QB that is the proper extension of him on the field.

He needs his guy, IMHO that’s Rattler.

Yet DA is a DA, that can’t be denied.

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

Well…I’m not in the Rattler fan club but…..

 

[Saint Jack]

Why am I so giddy with excitement over there terrible news?

Because there is a legit possibility that Rattler can be the long term future.

Im going get a Rattler jersey for the game this week….Man Im Excited !!!

Where?

 

[austrian-saint]

I like DA more than most, I also think like most coaches, you can't win if you don't have good QB play. Seans great, but if he doesn't land Drew he looks like he did w/ Wilson. If Bill doesn't land Brady he looks like he did w/ Cam Newton and his young draft pick.

If Rattler is DA's guy his career trajectory as a HC could change 100%

I think Rattler is KK's guy, not DA's guy. That's why I think that Rattler will start against TB. We've seen glimpses of what Rattler can do in this system. I know it was only preseason, but he made some 2nd and 3rd stringers shine. There was definitely something that went through the entire team that wasn't there with Haener.
