It was always about the off field antics.

I remember hearing that, but don't recall what they actually were.

Looking back, he took over from Jalen Hurts as a redshirt freshman, led the Sooners to a 8-2 regular season and a bowl win, threw for 3k yds at 67.5%, 28 TDs and 7 int, was named 1st team All Big 12.
Not a bad freshman season.

Then Riley signed Caleb Williams, and decided he wanted Williams to start, but needed a reason to bump Rattler. Rattler started the year 5-0, with some shaky moments including some picks (who knows, maybe he was forcing things to stay on top). OU fell behind big to Texas, they brought Williams in and won, and Williams started the rest of the year.
Of note, OU also lost 2 games that year, both with Willams starting.

For the year, here's their stats to compare:
Rattler 140-187, 1483 yds, 11 TDs 5 int.
Williams 136-211, 1912 yds, 21 TDs 4 int.

And keep in mind, OU beat W Carolina 76-0, Rattler only played the first half, Williams got most of the second. Williams got the entire second half against Texas, Rattler only got something like 4 series the rest of the season. So if you're going YPG, Rattler is slightly ahead of Williams.
