Rattlers’s excerpt:
Would I draft Rattler? No. I also don’t think I’d run it back with him if I were Shane Beamer. He’s 11th in the SEC in quarterback ratings, and while he certainly has similar offensive line issues to Levis, there are too many frustrating mechanical issues with Rattler. He drifts, he doesn’t have that sense for pressure and he forces too many throws. When healthy, Levis can at least make up for some of that with his legs while Rattler really doesn’t. So then why do I think Rattler is gone? I believe he’ll still get feedback that suggests he could be a mid-round pick. I also wonder if there’s an understanding from South Carolina that both parties should perhaps go their separate ways, which for Rattler would probably mean going to the NFL instead of going to his 3rd school in as many years (he’d be eligible immediately as long as he graduated this school year).
As strange as it sounds near the end of a frustrating offensive season, my best bet is that Rattler’s college days are numbered.
