Quarterbacks

Meh … haven’t been impressed with either QB tbh.

To my untrained eye, I’m not seeing much improvement from Rattler.

Grupe is going to get a lot of scoring opportunities in 2025.

This is where I think about KC Leapfrogging us in the draft and taking Mahomes. Had we got Mahomes that year, 100% guaranteed Sean is still here and we have at least one more SB trophy.

That being said, I say let Rattler have it. But at the same time you could argue you he’s already been in the league a year and should have separated himself a bit more from the competition.

I don’t think either of them will be starting anywhere in a couple of years. Unless we are stuck with them.

The only time they do anything is against the other teams scrubs.

If we win more than 3-4 games this year I will be stunned.

Also quit calling him Bayou Rattler. It’s goofy/cheesy.

At this stage, you just have to start the QB that can run the fastest. Because our offense line is peppered with injuries. AGAIN. What are these guys made of? Paper and pansies? And the backups getting injured? Cmon. How is this happening over and over again?

Good grief, just draft offensive lineman next year. See if you can find a couple that are more durable than the TP I wipe my ass with.

We're not alone. It seems like most teams across the league have lost starting offensive linemen already with many out for the entire season. Penning is the only starter that may not be ready to go week one.

3 to 5 wins. Take your lumps. Cap is getting corrected. Rebuilding year. Without a QB it is really difficult to compete. You don't have one. Your hope should be how hard they compete. Keep adding young talent, and in 2 years could be really good.

Rattled is a backup at best. Shough has problems with his footwork, doesn't look like much has been addressed...he has more upside due to his physical ability. He will take over mid year and you will learn what you have or don't have

Blah blah blah “other teams”, blah blah blah “other players”, blah blah blah “the rest of the NFL”, blah blah blah….same tune, same song.

Thank you Mr. Team and Player excuse maker guy.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah “20-0” blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

I don’t care about other teams, players, coaches, front offices or anything else. I also don’t buy into the excuse that what’s happening with my team is more acceptable because it is or has happened somewhere else.

Blah blah blah
