Probably want a Air Raid type system with some solid WRs. Maybe slip in at UNC or Ole Miss to replace Howell/Corral? He's from Arizona, I think Arizona State if Daniels leaves or UCLA with Chip Kelly would be great landing spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Chip Kelly is retained at UCLA, it's a perfect fit for both sides. Thomas-Robinson is a senior so he'd step right into a starting role and I think Rattler has the physical talent to actually run Kelly's offense to a tee.

Spencer Rattler is not a good runner and usually Chip Kelly needs an athletic mobile QB to succeed with the offense he runs. Jeremiah Masoli, Darron Thomas, Marcus Mariota, Dennis Dixon, Mike Vick, Colin Kapernick, Thompson-Robinson. Sure Vick and Kapernick did not start every game with Chip Kelly in the NFL because of injuries and such, but both were on the rosters and used because of that athletic ability and most likely Kelly was brought to both the Eagles and 49ers specifically to get the most out of those two QBs or at least take a chance on doing so. It can work without it no question but not sure UCLA is this perfect fit for Rattler considering what Chip Kelly does, uses a lot of motion, uses the QB run game and zone read action that is very run heavy. But it is also not like they would say no if he wants to go there but I think he might be better off picking a different program and different system. Then again many offenses use the QB run game and mobility in college but almost anything can be change to fit skill sets usually. Still not sure UCLA is the right spot for him, the Ole Miss spot is open same with Pitt who will have some good receivers returning most likely.

While that is true Rattler did have decent rushing numbers in HS and they'd obviously have to adjust the offense to be more of a passing spread with less emphasis on RPOs. Darron Thomas only had 200 rushing yards the year they went 12-2 with him and Nick Foles passed for 27 TD when the Eagles went 10-6, followed by Foles/Mark Sanchez passing for 27 TD in another 10-6 season and neither of those guys is very mobile.

MSURacerDT55 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Not sure if anyone mentioned but Samori Toure looked really good vs OSU and looks like he could be a diamond in the rough type of prospect. He looked studly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think being closer to home after a somewhat humiliating departure from Oklahoma would do good for his psyche and programs like Arizona State, USC, and UCLA are all potential options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, maybe not. Maybe back home he'd be surrounded by yes men hangers on that would just pump him up without making him better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Ole Miss if Kiffin stays? I haven't heard any solid coaching move rumors but he might want a place with some established weapons to help his transition.
