  1. Why Flint Is An Idiot

  2. Flint on October 18th, 2004 • "Well, Rattay did fine. Too bad he can't get any protection because I think he could develop into a good QB if he didn't have to fear for his life. What impresses me is he's doing so well with a bum shoulder and thumb. The kid is a passer and makes up for what he lacks in mobility and size with pocket presence and a strong, accurate arm.No, he won't make the Pro Bowl for being on such a sorry team, but I can't criticize the guy. Does all he can with what he's got and the numbers back him up. BTW, he and Garcia are the only two QBs in the last 10 years to have 400+ yard passing games. An undrafted QB and a 7th rounder."

  3. Ira Miller on November 8th, 2004 • "The 49ers lost another game Sunday, but they finally might have figured out how best to use quarterback Tim Rattay. In a season like this, that would count as progress. It's still too early to tell whether Rattay, who has started eight games in his NFL career, will prove worthy of becoming a long-time starter, but he never was going to have a chance if the 49ers insisted on trying to make him a pocket passer. That's because Rattay was shortchanged in two key areas: He's short (just 6-feet tall) and not particularly nimble.So, to succeed as an NFL quarterback, he can't afford to simply stand in the pocket because he can't see over the tall linemen and he's a standing target for pass rushers. He does his best work in the shotgun formation or throwing on planned rollouts, situations in which he can see the field better and is not such an easy pass-rush target.”

  4. Flint on November 8th, 2004 • "Yo, Stat-Boy. Sure, 128-198 (64.6%), 1436 yards, 9 TDs, 4 INTs, QB rating: 92.9 for poor Rattay. But, then again, Roethlisberger is 107-155 (60%), 1316 yards, 11 TDs, 5 INTs, QB rating: 105.2 And his team is winning game after game.That said, Rattay played well till the 4th quater when he pulled a DeBerg and threw to the wrong team. What was good is the 9ers had him rolling out most of the game instead of hanging in the pocket where he's too short to see anything. Roethlisberger is an ideal pocket QB because he's 6'5", 5" taller than poor Rattay. And 240 pounds vs. Rattay at 200.As for Carter, it's good to have him back despite the low production. The guy had a cyst near the spine and couldn't sit down or lie down because it felt "like a knife in my back." He'll get stronger and the defense needs him. He may even make some tackles and get some sacks. The 9ers are a bad team, but they are young and should improve. Rattay may not be the long-term answer at QB but and hopefully the 9ers will get someone better. Rattay would be a fine back-up if he proves not to have the tools to be a consistent starter who doesn't break to pieces all the time. Having him roll out is a good idea...one that Jordan never considered because of his hairdresse belief the the poor guy was just a perfect pocket QB. He isn't. Too tiny and not nimble enough."
