Spencer Rattler’s first start was… (1 Viewer)

[St. Widge]

I’d love to have Arch if the Mannings would allow it.

You never know if he's going to develop or not and even assuming he does, I doubt he comes out for at least 3 more years, but at least 2 more.

I loved the arm talent, the mobility, and the presence from Rattler.

He's the guy. Let Klint and him cook.

Spencer Rattler seems like the real deal... My Bucs have a pretty good secondary, and Rattler's passing was spot on, for the most part. He's not as experienced as Carr, but I think that he inherantly has better skills.

 

[Saintstigerking]

It was predictable. 5th round pick with a bad team around him. No part of this team is competitive.

 

[Saint Greg]

Showed some promise, but he’s not ready. I’d still start him until Carr gets back to give him experience.

Here’s where you and I will not agree. You believe in a QB that hasn’t proven anything over the course of many years in terms of leading a team deep in the playoffs (has Carr ever won multiple playoff games?…has he ever won ANY playoff game???). Yet you believe he can. I believe the reason he hasn’t is because he is average at best and does not have the chops to do so. Instead of sticking with a proven commodity of mediocrity, I’d rather go with what can be a promising rookie. I’m not saying Rattler is better than Carr today. I’m saying Rattler can indeed be much better than Carr in the future. And I’ll take the hope of having an “A” player over having a known “C+” player any day. You can have the last word.

1st it's egregious to think that the QB is solely responsible for the W/L record of the team when you say has he ever won any playoff game , it tells me that you don't really understand the game. 2nd DC came from other than Carolina the most dysfunctional origination in the NFL. You would have probably said the very same thing about Geno Smith and Sam Darnold as you are saying about DC, maybe you should check out how they are doing now.
The 1st 2 games of the season is undeniable proof of just what DC can be with a healthy OL and an average one at that.
Once again you are presupposing that has reached his ceiling which is incorrect, if he has then the 1st 2 games are that indicator and if that;s DC's ceiling than I'll take that much more than a 5th rd pick that really looked quite average today.

I agree. I’m going off of a very very small sample size and hoping for pedigree.


Watching the Manningcast last week they had Archie on and he didn’t say anything bad about his time in New Orleans, just that it was very tough on him. We know they’re a family that will influence where there QB goes (Eli) so I wonder even if he does develop if they’d be on board with him playing for our team.

 

[saintsgotaring]

That's just not true for every play.

What games have you been watching with Carr?

 

[State Of Affairs]

The most popular player on a bad football team is the backup QB.

Jake Haener now… lol

Honestly Kubiak needed to do a better job having some options for him against the blitz. I didn't see much of an adjustment. I think the plan was to run to stop them from blitzing and when that didn't work, Kubiak had no counter.

Come on… he wasn’t seeing wide open receivers right in front of him, you think he didn’t have any option for the blitz and maybe just didn’t execute?

I’m not trying to rain on Rattler but he’s a rookie in his first start, I sure he was given options that he just wasn’t able to get to for several reasons.

All in all, I thought it was a little better then ok and left room for hope. A out what I was expecting.

 

[Jesse Custer]

...better than Caleb Williams' first start.

Rookie starting on an injury-riddled team, #1 wideout gone within minutes of the opening kickoff, producing in a 17-0 hole and then with playcalling that never adjusted to the defensive scheme's exotic blitzing and a defense that laid an all-time egg.

 

[Noisemaker]

I liked what I saw from Rattler overall. My only problem was where was the adjustment when Bowles starting blitzing him every possession from the last drive in the first half. That was inexcusable!!!!

YES!!! This is the real reason Rattler did not have success in the second half. We were OUT COACHED BIG TIME. No adjustment made when Bowles started that different look.

 

[MamaRoux]

I think he showed promise in a terrible situation. Made some rookie mistakes, but that’s to be expected.

NO~! I "expect" for his Coaches and Teammates to give him more information and tendencies of his own WRs~! Three long balls to Shaheed under thrown! Seems someone would have told him just to hurl the ball as far as possible and Rasheed will run under it, catch it and SCORE~! Still, seeing AK#41 drop a couple he clearly should have caught? I don't know what to make of this TEAM as a whole~! Once the blitzes came and weren't picked up? That took SR's mind into preoccupied mode with no one scheming to help him..........The entire situation is sad. Rattler throwing to the people he's been practicing with told the tale.....Needs more time on task and let's see.....I'd start Heaner vs Sean's sad arse Broncos just because Jake's thrown to the 1st string players a bit more.....I suppose........It truly is a bad situation. NO FIRE in the souls of what few players we have left~!

 

[ELLIASJWILLIAMS]

Filled w/ teachable moments and confirms he’s a see it throw it QB. Jay Cutler ish, his field vision reminds me of the thin Madden QB cone. He def missed some wide open guys.

I stand by my assessment that he absolutely needs a go to receiver. He’s not really a Point Guard distributor type QB. He plays some hero ball too under pressure and tries to make plays himself. Not in the same manner as Winston, but he gets out of the structure of the offense and tries to escape pocket.

I hate that he doesn’t step up into the pocket, instead preferring to bounce backwards and then escape to the outside. He’s not going to beat many NFL ends to edge.

He’s phone both quick but not fast athletically. Needs someone he can trust to make big plays. Needs a prime ocho cinco type to work w/.
