He's back! Spencer Rattler announces return to South Carolina
- Thread starter Chris Clark
- Start date
I am not a fan of these videos, but I must say the beginning of that was pretty funny.
No doubt his talent…work on reads and the decision making and he could be very dangerous.

Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
No kidding sherlock. It's the *ONLY* reason he's coming back. No NFL team is going to pick him. He would have gone undrafted and he knows it. Why? He sucks. Period.
It's a favorable development for the program. For him, transferring again would have been almost as unrealistic as coming out for the draft. This was really the way to go.
Said by the same person who “implied” Damar Hamlin’s heart was injured the other night due to the Covid vaccine not by his body colliding with another football player.

This is great news! Here's hoping he thrives in Loggains system.
He beat the amazing Clemson D. And I am not joking. The Clemson D was/is very good!! There is, no doubt, still room for growth for Rattler. But I believe you saw a glimpse of it last 3 games. But it is as much the team around him. If we only run 62 yards a game, Freakin Arron Rogers would struggle back there with everyone knowing pass is coming. The O-line has to step up. WE also need Ahmarean Brown back. I know he is undersized, but he can stretch the field with his speed. The same effect Curry has on a basketball court. Run him straight down deep opens up short and mid middle a bit more. Or let's get one more stud receiver. 6"2" range who can fly. You know, a Stephon Diggs type but bigger and stronger and faster. Not asking for much here!!!
Yep. Fixing the run game is an absolute priority. We were very nearly last in ypc in the SEC. That has to change. Somehow.
The arm talent is there. The field presence has a ways to go to catch up. Another year in college can't do anything but help him.
He's serviceable, and I'll leave it at that.
We really had no SEC caliber RBs. It may be the weakest position on the team.
Would he be a graduate transfer? If not, he'd have to sit a year on his second transfer.
One article I read said he had not graduated yet, so he couldn't do an immediate transfer.
Think Spencer and Juice coming back give a strong nucleus for the new OC to build around. Hopefully Spencer will have the opportunity to make the whole season look like the games against Tennessee and Clemson. Glad his's a Gamecock and glad's he's coming back. Thanks Spencer and Juice!!!
He could get around it by playing the hardship card, as Fields did when he left Georgia for Ohio State.
Thought Fields did that before the transfer portal...and also thought that the one time free transfer was supposed to replace the hardship transfers because people were getting upset as to who was getting them and who wasn't. Could be wrong but that was my understanding.
Dude!!! Really? Based on what? I guess you didn't like Clemson getting beat or derailing Tennessee. That comment sucks bro.
Well, I mean, it's true. The only reason he's coming back is because he wasn't good enough to go pro.
But that doesn't mean he sucks and can't win games here.
Loggains has to find out how to unlock his potential, week in and week out. You got back and watch the throws he made in the UT and Clemson games. There are throws only a handful of college QBs can make He has absolutely elite arm talent, which is well known. You can't coach that. You either have it or don't. Thankfully he has it. Just have work on the other stuff, which thankfully can be coached.
Actually, you were right. The NCAA routinely granted waivers for the second or more transfers. Had forgot about JT Daniels until I looked it up. But, and its a huge BUT, the NCAA is fixing that....more than one transfer is now going to have to meet specific criteria to be eligible for immediate playing time.
NCAA makes change to college football transfer portal (msn.com)
Well, that's as it should be. It was likely bullcrap when Fields did it.
The portal was not in effect, but I was not aware that the latter canceled the former, either. I can't imagine they would wipe it because of the possibility of a legitimate need.
No. I just know a scared QB when I see one. DL breathes hard on Rattled and he freaks out - sometimes takes off running downfield - and even once fumbled while literally no one touched him. I stand by my words. He's a horrible QB. Breathe on him wrong and he falls to the ground. He has no situational awareness at all. Will slide 3 yards short of a 1st down when there's not a defender within 20 feet of him. I've never seen another football player play so scared in all my life on any team.
If he was a horrible QB, we'd have never sodomized Tennessee, beat Tillman at their place, & the Gator Bowl would have been a blowout loss.
Fair enough. I'll change my words. > He hasn't learned a single thing since his days at OU. JMHO.
I'm not a "Joyner for QB" guy..... but I truly believe with all my heart that Joyner gives us the best chance to win at the QB position. What Joyner lacks in arm or QB decision making, he more than makes up for with his feet and toughness. He's basically Connor Shaw 2.0 at this point.
Key words > At this point in his career. Early on? Not so much....
I made similar comments earlier in the season but I have seen a change in Rattler which has made me reconsider. There were TD runs against Clemson and ND where he showed no fear and sacrificed his body for the TD and a stiff arm on a TN CB for a first down which showed me some resolve which had been lacking. His arm strength and quick release has never been a question. A little more elusiveness in the pocket and awareness before sliding when he scrambles could be improved.
Glad to have Rattler back and I like the occasional switch to Joyner for a different look which I hope Loggains put to better use.
Fair enough. If in his final season next year he plays like that / like his career depends on it - We should win 8-9 games again fairly easily. We have got to get some RB's though.
