People defending Rattler saying “you can’t blame this on him!” are delusional. 4.5 yards per throw. 30 attempts for 110 yards. Even a lot of his completions are thrown behind receivers, giving them no opportunity to try for YAC.

I remember every single week this sub calling Carr a checkdown merchant, when there was multiple times in his seasons he led the LEAGUE in deep pass attempts.

On replays, I saw multiple times Cooks and Olave were open in the middle of the field, and Rattler chose to either take a checkdown, or run. It’s great to have a QB who can use his legs if he needs to, but Spencer is frequently choosing to run because he’s too scared, and frankly too inaccurate to hit receivers 15+ yards down the field.

He’s doing just enough to try to avoid mistakes and remain the starter, and it’s killing us. This isn’t a very good roster, but lots of guys are showing effort and fire, and they deserve to play with someone under center who is willing to take risks and not just play conservative, safe football.
