Rattler will most likely be available
Hard pass
You are truly the voice of the fan. I'd bet if you polled K-State fans a majority of them would agree with you.
I would try to get him.
Goodness, why does every dude gotta be farm fresh for K-State Tuckville to like them?
Why I’m the hell would I be clamoring to replace 1 turnover machine (Howard) for another more prolific turnover machine (Rattler) who quite frankly failed with an absolutely stellar supporting cast? What makes you two think Rattler would be able to perform ‘better’ for us than he did at OU surrounded by 4 and 5 star team mates?
Tuck that crap out your ass
No thank you. Would prefer to get Rubley in and take the lumps that’ll follow and have a 4 year starter potential than a 1 and done retread which couldn’t cut it previously and will declare next year anyway (only to get picked up as a late round flyer at best and be back home selling insurance within 2 years)
Good job doubling up on the tuck. How exactly is Rattler a “turnover machine”? Odds are he will still be a day 1 draft pick as well. There has been maybe one QB at KSU in school history with the arm talent of Rattler (Freeman). Sometimes I think our fan base is the reason why we can’t have nice things.
By pure status, yeah Rattler is better than Howard - but look at career interception status for both.

https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/player-stat/fumbles?season_id=119It's painfully obvious Howard isn't the QB of the future - but a stats based comparison between Rattler and Howard when also giving due consideration to the quality of receivers between the 2 and it should be 100% clear Rattler isn't an upgrade. Or, at best, a nominal upgrade.
So some minds need to be made up here.
Are Klein/messingham/kleiman bad at developing QBs or not? As for ‘turnover machine’ maybe you should watch more football than just our games - it should be self evident how true that statement was. Just because the eraser-headed freak chose the game against us to show up doesn’t mean he’s not a turnover machine. It just means we didn’t get any meaningful pressure on him. And it certainly does t mean he’ll magically ‘develop’ to his potential with us
But hey if you want to have it both ways, by all means, do go on.
