He'll just shoot that same broke-### fadeaway!" We gonna start calling Rattler, "Baby Mahomes." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsfanatic1 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 @LOLΒ does Rattler start the next game? The only reason I ask is.... 1- I didn't read through the thread. 2- Because Riley put him in on the 2 point conversation ( for some unknown reason) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't think you start Williams next week. I mean, I would, but I'm just some random guy. Riley has to think about the locker room and optics and recruiting and etc. BUT I think Rattler and Williams split QB1 reps this week, and Riley makes it clear to Rattler than he can and will be yanked at first signs of hero ball.Β 2.) Frankly, I suspect the 2-pt play is something that's been in the playbook so long that Riley went to the guy who ran it the most.Β 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Williams is my QB1, but I understand if Riley tries to give Rattler another shot to "win back" his spot. I disagree, but I get it.Β 2.) Yep, same. Pretty sure this is a set package they practice regularly, and Rattler probably gets 99 percent of the reps at it.Β Β 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual threat works better with that offensive line.Β This is the thing that's always stuck with me about Rattler...Β if you take the last three star QBs we've had, Mayfield/Murray/Hurts, all three of them could move. The slowest of which was Mayfield, but he was weirdly elusive in a way not reflected in a 40 time.Β Rattler is a "throwback" pocket passer with a strong arm, but not really agile in or out of the pocket. That might work if you're Tom Brady, but not if you're not. The comparisons to Mahomes need to end, like yesterday. Mahomes could always run around and make plays. Rattler, not so much.Β 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rinse, repeat.Β Maaaaan I've been cheering against OU all year...... Right up until they put in Caleb Williams you could just see how the team responded to him. You can just tell that he's a team player that they guys love. Unlike Rattler who is on Team Spencer, not OU.Β I hope they start Caleb Williams the rest of the way- I'd be a fan, for one.Β 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
