When watching highlights of other teams, they would always score wide open TDs and it would frustrate me that the Saints never had anything close. Shough steps in and commands the offense and now it seems like every passing TD looks wide open. Moore and Shough could be something special. Can’t wait until we get the interior OLine fixed and we have a running game, this could be an explosive offense.

It really goes to show how many “easy throws” are as much a result of good qb play/good play calling as they are bad defense. Shough’s arm talent, but more importantly is decision making and processing, is head and shoulders above Rattler and that’s leading to a lot of easy looking throws.

Then there’s the added component of Moore having more and more faith (no pun intended) in his QB which is allowing for more confident and consistent playcalling, especially in the red zone.

They definitely have some chemistry between them. You can tell Shough knows exactly what KM wants to attack with each play. He often hits the top of his drop back and immediately knows where to go with the ball.

Olave's TDs against the Jets & Titans were almost the exact same

He starts inside... crosses with the outside receiver who basically sets a pick for him

It's kind of like a wheel route for Olave... Shough just has to put it on him b/c the defenders got crossed up when Olave & the other receiver did their cross action

Early in the year receivers were getting zero separation. I think some coaching has changed some things. Plus, the midget was eliminated and stretch took his place

The funny thing is that if you compare Shough's and Rattler's stats there isn't a big difference...except in one area adjusted yards per attempt. Shough is pushing the ball downfield and completing passes. Rattler couldn't consistently do that. Shough throws a very catchable ball that allows guys the opportunity for YAC. Rattler would throw one unbelievable pass...then follow it up with 2 passes behind an open WR or at his feet, forcing the WR to do everything possible just to try to make the catch.

Rattler could move the ball between the 20's, but couldn't consistently turn the production into points. Shough is producing more TDs

This. That play is designed for precisely that, and it’s well schemed.

Shough does a good job looking guys off. That’s another reason why so many guys look open. When he’s not looking them off, he’s throwing guys open.

This shite is amazing. I thought we were going to be stuck in a QB desert for a very long time. Now we have a QB and the Mormon Sean.
