Should Rattler be our starter in 2025? (merged) (20 Viewers)

Assuming we move on from Derek, is Rattler your guy next year? On Twitter, there appears to be mixed reviews of him.

 

[Lustmord]

Nope

 

[SWJJ]

for the one hundred millionth time, because of the salary cap, we can NOT move on from Carr this season.

Let's stop already.

 

[rsmith2783]

Nope

Would you draft a QB this year or go for one in FA (if Carr isn't back)?

 

[SWJJ]

Rattler may very well be the QB in 2026, but barring injury, it will not be next year. Also, while he has lots of potential, he still has a lot of growth that's needed before he is ready to be a starter.

This doesn't need to be a new thread every 3 days.

Counts only $59 against the cap, so, barely fits the budget.

With an Oline very possibly
Without, unlikely
(This is also true for many other QBs, also RBs and WRs)

We can bench him

 

[SWJJ]

We can bench him

wasn't an option in the OP, and Carr has absolutely outplayed Rattler.

Benching Carr to start a not fully developed Rattler is foolish.

But you can stick his booty on the bench and start with your future QB like Atlanta did with Cousins. May not be look good for the accounting books but it's time to move on from him. Carr is great if you're into fantasy football and need good stats.

We can in fact move on if we need to from Carr at the very least he could be a post June 1st cut

They would have to carry his full cap hit until June, which would be almost impossible.

I don't believe anyone who actually plays fantasy football considers Derek Carr a viable starter.

Yeah Atlanta caught a lot of heat for doing that but it's evident that they have their future QB. Has Rattler shown enough to be the future? I don't know but personally I can say that he has potential.

Rattler has shown he has some arm talent, but honestly not much else, so no, I wouldn’t feel comfortable giving him the reins going into next season.

Granted, he didn’t get to play with much of a supporting cast, or even with a real head coach, but you can’t go into a season with that unproven of a quarterback.
