Should Rattler be our starter in 2025? (merged) (16 Viewers)

I was going to click "No", but then I realized the poll didn't say "Do we need another thread about Rattler starting?"

Is Rattler your guy next year?

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

Yes, hopefully Rattler beats out Carr and gets the job that way…here’s to the new coach and staff developing Rattler over this next season.

I saw the game slowing down for him and him making better decisions in this last game. I think that there is legit reasons to be optimistic with Rattler as our starter.

I think the correct answer is to leave the QB position as an open competition going into next year. Neither Carr or Rattler has done enough to be our "locked in starter" going into next year. Sure Carr probably has the edge right now, but a full offseason for Rattler could also see him taking more strides in his development. We are really only attached to Carr through next season. Beyond that (as of now), I don't think it would be much of an issue to move on from him from a salary cap stand point.

Yes. And there’s a chance he will be depending on the next HC.

I cant wait to see this thread started over and over weekly,

It's like groundhog day, but not funny

 

[guidomerkinsrules]

yes IF we really do the work to shore up OL

fairly certain next year is going to be a wash
we know what Carr's ceiling is
but we only really know what Rattler's floor is
we will not sign a FA QB
any QB we draft would have as many or more ?? than Rattler

 

[Ghost]

Shouldn’t “tacoes” be a choice?

I voted yes if we actually move on from Carr. Carr gives us the better chance at being competitive next season, but if we go down the route of cleaning the books and Carr isn't here then absolutely I'm good with Rattler taking the reigns. There's absolutely no way there can be a verdict on Rattler at this point. He's had a handful of starts on a team that was already in serious trouble and it only got worse.

I'm not saying ditch Carr because Rattler is better, but he's a viable option to roll with next year if Carr isn't on the team anymore. We have bigger problems to sort out than QB right now.

We really don't know yet that Derek Carr can't be our QB for the next 4 years still. He's not a broken failed project. It's just a lot of whats around him has fallen apart, getting rebuilt etc.

It's more like Edge of Tomorrow.

I say yes for three reasons.

1. We aren't drafting a QB high this year and there really isn't one worthy either.

2. We know who Carr is and about how long he has left in the league. He is terrible under pressure and either gets crushed because of his lack of mobility or he takes off playing hero ball and gets himself hurt. By the time this team patches the holes he needs to be successful, he'll be too old to take advantage of it.

3. If there is any hope that Rattler will ever be good enough he needs to play more. Only so much development comes from practice.

I think we do know. He's been in the league for a decade. He's has never been a guy who could elevate the guys around him and this team doesn't have the talent to carry him enough for him to be successful. And he certainly isn't worth what we're paying him for that.

sorry, our wr group was a joke this year and olave and shaheed didn't even combine for a full season on the field. carr has been banged up here and there. we aren't getting a full carr look with legitimacy on the field.

Great response

Now hopefully our next Head Coach is in agreement
