Grading Saints Rookie QB Spencer Rattler After 2 Starts | Rich Eisen Show Reaction Video

1. Morans who think rattler better than Carr? Dude is 4 time pro bowler 2016 MVP for league until his leg got broke. Problem everybody injured and saints defense is absolutely horrible. Buncha clowns

2. While I don't think it's really fair to grade Rattler off these two games, I thought he did well given the circumstances. Would love to see him with actual wide receivers and a decent o-line.

3. When they hate you, you're the root of every problem. When they like you, you could do no wrong.

   Now the never-Carr fans are using all the same reasons we defended Carr with and telling us its different like this isn’t the same old Saints team with a questionable oline to begin the season with. And this oline got even worse when Erik McCoy went down on the first drive of the Eagles game. At least Carr gave the Saints a lead in the final minutes of those 2 games vs the Eagles and Falcons. The KC Refs game don't count IMO with all those bogus calls at critical moments.

   Oh. And Olave aint no number 1 receiver.

4. Anyone that’s grading Rattler with the current situation should not be speaking on football

5. I'd give rattler a c, he's not the reason we're losing yes he misses some plays, but in the large scheme of things it doesn't affect the game completely we're getting blown out. And also yes he needs more help by the people around him.

6. Rattler and our QB in general is one of the last things on my mind with this team. Don't even care about it with so many foundational issues. Morale is low.

7. Love the commentary Brother! Totally makes sense and glad you were able to show Metrics on 2 other Rookie starting QBs during their first 2 weeks with a healthy support staff around them.

8. Carr is not the answer at the rate we are going there is a good chance we draft a qb in the first round and if rattler can win a competition then so be jt

9. I give him a D – Positives: effort and doing his best for playing with a F grade line. Negatives: He isn't accurate, he takes too long to progress through his reads. He extends plays and still cant find the guys down field.

10. Saints are playing only four starters on offense and two of them are the rookie Fuaga, and Penning. You only have legit starters Kamara and Moreau/Johnson at TE. If this were a movie script it would be too incredible to be with filming Nothing Eisen is worth listening to any more than if they called me in to comment. .

    Addendum: Eisen now syaing that any QB that is ready to play would have done ok in this situation. Our defense played like ass — what does that have to do with anything Rattler did except to make his situation infinitely worse because he has to play from way behind.minus 7 starters and only one star player (AK).

11. Rich is absolutely correct

12. Play the rest of the season with what you got. Try to make the best of it. When your starters are back near the end of the season, win some of your remaining games. But when the off season comes, have all your players work on maximum Physical CONDITIONING! Why? Why not, the team fell short of having a record breaking season because of one thing, injuries! Your biggest weakness has been Losing your key players. The Eagles game started it all. They literally manhandled the Saints that game. Players have been going down ever since.. Get that worked out for next season.

13. Start Haener better

14. Rattler needs more time he's still young screw the haters 💯⚜️🏈! He's the Future!⚜️💯

15. I mean the guy played 2 games within a 4 day span, like damn can he get his feet wet?? Our Oline is in shambles he has no time whatsoever, nobody would survive this bullshit…..

16. C-

17. Starting Rattler will cost Dennis Allen his job. Should have gone with Haener instead of promoting the QB3 ahead of him.

18. Saints have the easiest schedule left in history

19. I highly believe that the defense has just given up on DA. They are on the field the majority of the game due to the inefficiency of their offense, they are tired.

20. Grading Rattler with a less than patched up oline 😂😂😂, kid never , I mean never had a chance to throw with this atrocious offensive line .

    Guys missing basic fundamental blocks, oline ALWAYS have trouble getting their feet SET , just horrible protection

21. Yea Bo Nix is a 100% ready putting up 33 on a beat up team playing backups to they backups to the backups.

22. This is all FINISH ALLEN fault. They practice Haener under assumption he’s QB2, then the HC gets trumped by the OC to start Rattler. For what it’s worth he did ok under this injured offense. FINISH ALLEN does not want Carr uncomfortable with a veteran backup, which is needed, or a rookie with a serious upside. Competency is seriously missing but we have to look past the results 🤦🏿‍♂️

23. Some saints fans can’t blame rattler but if Carr was starting it’s his fault but we all know if Carr was starting the saints probably be in theses games 😂🤡🤡 yeah rattler fans don’t k ow shit about football bro was Garbage water

24. Sometimes your rookie QB needs to sit down and watch how the pros do it and sit down a year or 2 🤡🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️maybe rattler would have been lil better

25. Let’s not forget that hospital ball he gave olave

26. Haenr goes in and makes a easy touchdown your boy rattler could hit one with 4 quarters and with the same players that rattler had 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

27. They really banged up injuries and you expect the coach to win tho

28. I don't think that it's unrealistic to say he is 'not ready'. It's extremely rare for a rookie QB to come into the NFL as 'ready', needs to be an already solid team/system and someone with a ton of talent. We don't have anything close to a solid offense with all these injuries. So at this point we just have to let him play, get experience and hope we get some starters back to help him out.

    I think having 2 rookies as our backup is a really dumb plan. There are so many QB who are more 'ready' than Rattler. However no matter who is the QB there has been a steady unraveling of the offense as more and more starters have gotten injured on that side of the ball. That side of the ball is basically a preseason team at best at this point.

    The defense does not have that excuse, sure there are a few injuries, and yes with the offense not being able to stay on the field it puts a lot of pressure on the defense. We can't seem to get a 3 and out! 6+ yards per play means your defense is not making tackles and you are going to lose unless you can win a shootout.

29. Amazing how good Jake Haener looked

30. Love your content man. It's the only silver lining to being a Saints fan is knowing we at least have an honest educated fan-base

    "is bo nix ready? no. Bo Nix is ASS… no hate" 😂

31. top 5 pick coming soon

32. So you’re saying, in a nutshell, that South Carolina had a better Oline than what Rattler has this year in NoLa? I can agree with that.

33. Its like nobody remembers that ian book game a few years ago. All the qb's, some of the oline and defense were out for covid. Ian got beat that fuck up. This is what Spencer is dealing with.

34. I mean I think he looks promising at times.

35. Tom Brady would get an F- if he played with our 7th grade offensive line and our practice squad receivers replacing our perennial hurt receiver corps.

36. If Rattler is the future the Saints are done for years.

37. Fuaga had a god awful game btw. Penning was the best player on the line

38. Rich Eisen truly has no clue what he is talking about here

39. My respect gauge is almost broken on Poor Eisen

40. Rattler is trash and saints fans deserve him. Stop making excuses

41. Shiw me a veteran that would have came out of these last two games withna victory and at least a b+ perfromance, some fo these guys just be talking. What kind of performance would have made him say Spencer is ready?

42. Haener threw 4 passes and scored a td against Denver hes better lls right

43. We are going to win 5 out of the next 6 games. Tampa don’t have a WR, San Fran doesn’t have any WR’s, guys going down all over the league with season ending injuries. We are getting our players back, and going to go on a run, and will be back in the picture in 6 weeks. This is the most injuries I have ever seen in the NFL. We got our injuries out of the early.

44. You should really leave out Jayden Daniels from your list of rookies struggling their 1st starts, JD worst game was his 1st start but didn't have turnovers or dumb decision like rattler did.

45. Says nix is trash but doesn't know nix has 3 other rookies on his offense, with a backup center.

    Yeah it sucks rattler ran into a really good D, guess what? Nix has played 4 top 10 defenses in 7 games.
