Should Rattler be our starter in 2025? (merged) (36 Viewers)

It's more like Edge of Tomorrow.

And we die day after day? Sounds about right

This is about the hit rate beyond the 1st round.

Playing devils advocate here:

Rattler starts, puts up numbers similar to Carr under KM. Do you continue to work with him to improve, or position yourself to draft a qb?

His stats don't matter. It's how stats come that means everything. Carr is never winning a super bowl not because of his stats. But because he doesn't dissect defenses well and put the players around him in positions to succeed. He has to rely on the players around him to out play their opponent and put him in position to succeed. The exact opposite of most QB's who win the super bowl in the last decade.

A better question to ask. Does Rattler elevate the players around him, or do the players around him, elevate him?

That's a great question. What I think my eyeballs saw in Rattler's starts was him elevating people around him in the first half of games and then pushing it late in games when we were behind. Not throwing many terrible passes, but giving his guys opportunities to beat their defenders and get a 50/50 ball. But I also wanted him to succeed so there may have been some bias in my eyes while watching.
