re: What is Spencer Rattler’s ceiling?

No clue. Its all in his head and who coaches him up. He has the arm talent and can run. Probably a very good thing he wasn't thrown to the wolves.

Y'know, going from All Big 12 your first season and a Heisman favorite going into the next, to being benched in the OU-Texas game and permanently losing his starting spot (despite the team being undefeated and ranked 6th going in),...
that type of thing could break a kid.

And they lost 2 games afterwards, including the OU/OSU game, in which Rattler didn't even get in. This, despite Caleb Williams throwing for under 200 yds *in Lincoln Riley's system* 3 times in the final 6 regular season games, including just 87 yds in a win against Iowa State the week before the Okie State game. So Williams wasn't perfect at that point. He might have been the better prospect, but I could see Rattler being pissed off by not even having a chance.

I know Williams had better numbers the next couple seasons, but Rattler putting up over 3k at South Carolina (NOT the ultimate passing system) a couple years in a row isn't terrible at all.

You could suggest Rattler was already left for dead once, and revived his career. Dude might be a fighter. We could use one.
