He said between college and the NFL, a QB needs his 50 starts.
Spencer started 42 games in college…
Should’ve drafted Dart
Makes sense coming from Brees who was much more of a late bloomer.
I agree with him, but you need to see something. Drew Brees was a heisman trophy caliber quarterback in college. He had some middling years to start. But then he found his groove. But even in that, you could see talent. He was taken with the first pick I believe of the second round.
I’m not knocking rattler. This team is not the San Diego Chargers that was around Drew Brees. But it is what it is. And losing teens will try different things.
I don’t think rattler is our answer but if you told me he has a Baker Mayfield type of career arc and figures it out one day I’d believe you.
Only reason I’m not wanting to force us to stay with rattler is rarely does accuracy get better. Not never, but rarely. He does throw dimes occasionally but his passes are too frequently off target for me to think it’s quickly fixable.
If he had a good team around him I think you could have patience to see where he develops but our team is so devoid of talent that we need a QB that can elevate the team now, not a few years from now.
