Maybe we should start Ratliff!

  • After all, he drove my brownies to the red zone twice.

  • Start the petition.

  • Yeah, I never did like either one of the others. One can't throw the long ball and the other breaks fingers at less than 15 yards. Ratliff is the answer, glad we finally figured that out and eliminated the QB controversy

    Mangini didn't bring Ratliff to sit on the bench with a clipboard. Politically, it may not be viable to start him now, but dump 1 of the 2 bambi's and you are getting closer.

  • Honestly ratliff looked terrible today. He had 2 awesome throws and that was it. Of course that was better then then what bartell did

    You gotta be kidding me, those throws were better than Quinn threw all day.

  • dunno, that opening bomb seemed better than ratliff's

    I agree those 2 throws were money but he had patten running across the middle of the field all by himself. Aside from that he hardly looked competent imo

  • While I agree with Riff et al regarding staying out of a thread rather than posting about how dumb the thread is, but this is a majorly dumb thread.

    Regarding Restin's assertion that Mangini didn't bring Ratliff in to hold a clipboard, he's correct. He brought Ratliff in to hold his headset's wire.

    I am just curious, have you seen the team live this season? I am in Vegas and have to rely on people on the ground.

    Just saw highlights on STO. that opening bomb was about as perfect as you can get.

    That said, I do want to see more of Ratliff and not playing behind a rag tag line with a bunch of guys who most likely will be week 4 cuts. I want to see him at least with the #2s.

    Seriously? The long pass to Patten was a jump ball that Ratliff left short and Gerard Lawson horribly misplayed. He actually beat Patten to the position, gathered himself, and jumped too early. It was awful. There wasn't anyone in the Southwest corner of the stadium that thought that ball would be anything but picked off.

    And, he was dismal around the goal line. Staring down receivers... yikes. The ball floats out of his hand. And he, at this point, puts way to much loft on everything.

    Let's not get crazy with the backup to the backup quarterback. He's got a long way to go to even get in the conversation.

    Sounds a lot like Pryor. No wonder why some on here may be getting googly-eyed over him.
