I got flamed for saying he didn't have a bad attitude and wasn't developed, but it's true. Riley's previous 3 QB's were very experienced and very talented transfers.
Look at Riley's first freshman QB Rattler. First year, started poor but did improve as the year went along. 2nd year, looked like arse and got benched. This was the Heisman favorite and projected 2023 #1 draft pick. In comes another freshman QB, Caleb Williams. Super talented, but had to rely on talent alone. Got progressively less effective as the year went on and his stats fell off the map because defenses figured out the guy relies on hero-ball.. because he wasn't developed.
Again - Baker, Kyler, Jalen all transferred with skills and experience and flourished against Big 12 defenses. They're all very good QB's no doubt, but the "QB Whisperer" reputation is a myth to those of us paying attention. Rattler is arrogant, but according to current players, he doesn't have a bad attitude. Though he definitely had a falling out with Riley.
You guys will see about Rattler. And we will all see what happens with Riley @ USC over time.
