Bobby Duckworth. What does it take for these low football IQ saps to carry the ball across the goal line prior to showboating at 1-4 now? Coach in AZ has lost all control.
The Harbaugh boys now look like a couple of slack-jawed trained apes vs. "HOF" coaches. In just one day, both exposed as I had always been suspicious of both back to SF and cheating at MICH and all that stuff.

Rattler is not for sale.
If I were in charge of Cincy I'd probably ask the Packers about Malik Willis. We know Browning is a disaster. Willis is one of those "needs more experience" guys with elite tools and a strong arm. If Jamar Chase wants a rocket thrower at QB, Willis can do that, Browning cannot.
If Willis fails, you tried. You get Burrow back, maybe. If Willis struggles early but shows a "learning curve," then you don't need to waste your next 3 First Rounders on a Top 5 QB in the Draft. He'd be your "insurance" going forward with Burrow iffy.

I feel vindicated on worthless Gino Smith. Tom Brady and team MGT are idiots for bringing him in. And we all saw the years at SEA where he did not "get it done" lol! he handicapped SEA. No wonder OAK are losing? Imagine the others on the roster in less high profile positions?
Yesterday with a 300lb DL on his side of the line, huge hands up, right in front of Gino he threw the ball right into it? Huh? I could see there was no path. I think it was deflected and intercepted? Not sure, there were so many. This is a starting NFL QB?

Probably yes what? Rattler will be a back up after this year. The Saints are going to draft a QB in the 1st round and he will either stay with them as the back up (less likely) or another team will pick him up as a back up. He just doesnt have NFL starter talent. He was 1-2 games away from setting the record for most starts without a win to begin a career in NFL history. He's not a bad person or even a bad player, he's just a back up. Lots of guys have made tons of money doing that in the NFL. Honestly it's a pretty sweet gig. You make millions of dollars a year and your body doesn't take nearly the abuse the starter does. And no one really expects you to win if you have to come as the back up. Chase Daniels made 42 million dollars as a back up. Started 5 games. He has 186 completions over 13 years. That means he got paid 225k per completion...

Again Rattler may be an upgrade to Browning. So what. He’s a slightly better back up quality qb. Dart has played 2 games in his NFl career and has won as many games as Rattler. Dart may not be a starter in the NFL but you can’t figure that out with a 2 game sample size.

Rattler played pretty well yesterday. League also had Baker Mayfield on the scrap pile. Rattle advantage is he can escape the rush, find a guy and complete a pass on the run.

Yeah he played well, but overall he's not played great this year or last. He's had moments (like most back up QB's) where he looks really good. Browning has played well in spots too, doesn't make him a starter in the league. Do you remember Matt Flynn?
To be fair Cleveland had him on the scrap heap (and they regret that decision).
Comparing Mayfield to Rattler is comical though.
Mayfield won a Heisman, was the first over all pick in the draft, and won 7 games his rookie year. (the Browns had gone 1-31 the 2 years prior to him getting there). Within 3 years they are in the PO's win a game and within a score of beating the eventual SB champs.
Rattler is a solid QB who started at OU and was benched in the 2nd quarter of their game against Texas in his second year as a starter. He then transferred to SC where he was 8-5 and 5-7. Was drafted in the 5th rd by the Saints and had 10 starts before winning his first game.
Again Rattler is not a bad player. And lets be clear this discussion withe EMH was started because he made the claim that Rattler was the best QB in his draft class.

Seriously stop smoking whatever it is you have been smoking.
While he didn't go top 5 in the Draft, the issue is far from settled. Daniels is really the only one with a legit claim of outperforming Rattler so far.
BTW, were you calling for Troy Aikman to be benched for being a "bust"??

LOL no I didn't. Troy Aikman having lost a bunch of games to start his career isn't evidence that he was a good QB you twit. Look at the other names on that list. It's comical to watch you twist yourself into these knots to try and justify that shit take you had so long ago. Rattler isn't a bust. He's a backup QB like most QB's drafted in the 5th rd. if they make an NFL roster. He's most certainly not better than
Williams,
Daniels
Nix
Penix
Maye
The only QB drafted ahead of him who isn't finding more success than Rattler is McCarthy but he can't stay on the field so who knows what he is.
Why are you so invested in Rattler being better than he very obviously is

According to you it is the ONLY evidence, the WL record.
Caleb Williams is a talented player with issues, both inside his head and with his supporting cast. Rattler has a better arm.
Bo Nix is a limited, weak armed system QB
Penix just melted down against the Panthers, was benched
Drake Maye is slowly improving after a dreadful start. Rattler has a better arm.
It is just Daniels so far who has outperformed Rattler. Rattler is in second place, not a bad value in Round 5...

Williams was the starter from day 1. Has better win percentage and better stats
Same with Nix, Penix, and Maye.
The only reason NO hasn't benched Rattler is they have no one else to turn to. They (the Saints) will draft a QB this year in the first round (likely 1 over all given the play at QB so far), Chicago, Atlanta, Denver, NE and Washington will not.
Rattler might be able to throw it to the moon but there's more to being an NFL QB than throwing the ball hard/far.
