Spencer Rattler

[Wild Turkey]

Some of you guys think he is the second coming. I saw him on the QB1 and nothing I saw made me think this guy is going to achieve more than Hurts did. Hopefully he is better at protecting the ball but I’m not convinced you’re going to win it all with him.

After not winning it all with Mayfield and Murray, I think you could be right.

 

[Wishbone]

He is way more fitted for Lincoln Rileys offense than Jalen Hurts.

It's way too early to predict how Rattler will do.

Could?

Get off the damn fence already.

How so?

It really doesn't matter even if he is greater than Murray or Mayfield, which will be difficult to do, bc in the end it comes down to their defense. It seems like it has been improving but obviously if you give up 70 points you need to start focusing on defense more. Their offense seems to be always elite and I'm sure this guy will not miss a beat if not this year, next.

How so?

Better field vision, he can pass the ball to more than one of his first reads, he has better lateral scrambling ability, and more.

How so?

He can throw a football.

Jalen can throw. From what I saw if Lamb wasn't in the receivers struggled to get open and catch. Hurt's had to use his legs way too much and that might be the downfall of Rattler if he has to do the same. Hurts is a big strong guy and take the punishment.

Mayfield and Murray were unbelievable in their ability to avoid getting touched so Rattler have some of that same "greased pig" in him or he is going to be headed to the hospital.

The OU offense would average upwards of 600 yards a game with Woody Allen at QB.

Rattler is 3 for 7 for 31 yards against P5 teams. How did you get all of this from 7 pass attempts?!?

And he was suspended for most of his senior year in high school too. He’s just trolling.

kid is talented. Much better passer. He did miss much of his senior season for behavioral reasons, so hoping that rears it’s ugly head

Granted — I think any solid QB can put up big numbers in Oklahoma’s offense. But OU has had some special QB’s the last few years.

I did watch the QB1 and while Rattler seemed like a douche, he did seem to be hyper competitive which is a quality you must have to be an elite QB. So it wouldn’t surprise me to see him be really good, but he hasn’t had a chance to really show much yet.

I’m not sure you can do much better than completing over 70% of your passes with 30+ tds and 1,300 yards rushing and 20 tds.

That’s a tough bar to reach for a first year starting QB, especially with CeeDee Lamb leaving.

That was more Riley than Heard. Heard isn’t a great passer, but Riley didn’t ask him to be one either.

Staff observations. They see him everyday...I will admit that I personally can't vouch for shit.

For the season he was actually 7 for 11 for 81 yds and a TD...but what can we glean from mop up time?

too cool of a name to waste, kid better be good

I'm not trolling. The question was a comparison to Hurts. Rattler to this point has demonstrated a skill set closer to Mayfield/Murray than Hurts. Taking that with LR's ability to craft an offense that features a QBs skill I'd say that Rattler should be a decent QB.

You convinced he has no chance?
