Rand is the Great Serpent - Edit 1

Just want to throw this out there, though it seems so obvious it must have been theorized before, but...
What if the Dragon is the Great Serpent?
To me it makes a lot of sense. All of the Shadow's bravado in the early books about blinding the Great Serpent suddenly take on new meaning, as Rand was in effect blinded by the Shadow until this latest book. Even the blurb about letting the "Dragon ride again on the winds of time" on the back of the books seems to take on new meaning, what with the Great Serpent being referred to as the embodiment of time in tEotW.
I think, if I am correct, that looking at Rand in this way may give some insight as to his nature in a grander sense, and potentially give a clue as to how he will ultimately seal the Bore and defeat the Dark One.
Thoughts?
