And apparently Saints feel they have that in Shough. Shough’s salary the next few years is allowing us to spend big and hopefully make a run.

Exactly. That's why you'll see the teams like the saints, giants, raiders, spend big the next few years.

When did 10 tds to 6 interceptions get you so much hype

When you do it with the absolutely pitiful surrounding support cast we had last year

Everyone knows why you don’t like him. But you clearly didn’t watch the games if you can’t see how good he was

I think this is a simplistic way of looking at it. I understand the whole “age” thing but he still was a rookie as far as pro ball goes. He also had a subpar supporting cast. He 100% has things he needs to work on but Shough showed more than enough to warrant some type of hope and excitement.

Edit: and he’s already putting in work this offseason. I’m excited for year 2.

Good thing fantasy points don’t matter in real football.

Since we want to talk about stats… He led all rookies from his draft class in YPG, completion percentage and wins

Kid has some serious talent

ETA: He led all rookies from his class in wins with only starting half a season. That’s pretty decent!

When you’re doing it with a bunch of Amazon workers and still exceedingly passed the eye test…

Yeah I’ll believe in the hype.

Marrero is just the big steaming pile of pessimism this site has never asked for. The balance we don’t need. We should embrace having our very own Eeyore.

When did 127 idiotic posts give someone an inflated sense of their own ego?

when has this been a secret? Theres a reason teams trade multiple picks to move up and get one.

When you are playing behind half an offensive line, 3rd string receivers, a 4th string HB, and have 2 guys catching passes that would be guaranteed to be on another team.

Dude was working with vapors by the end and still had a winning streak going. If you actually watched the games and saw how often he had too and did evade an insane rush, you know this kid has "it".

Did the Bengals extend Burrow early? I can't remember.. His contract plus his bitching about paying Chase and Higgins pretty much closed their window

Why doesn’t he like Shough? Can’t wait to hear this. How can you not like him?

I think it’s a great position to be in but there isn’t many nfl QBs who’ve won a super bowl with a qb on a rookie deal. Mahomes and Wilson are your only ones. Finding your qb is the ticket and building a foundation around him but it’s rare a team gets it done within that rookie contract and it’s not the end all be all

Agreed. And the clock to win a SB has started. No surprise to see the saints move aggressively here and waste none of his remaining rookie deal.

I guess when you go from Rattler to anyone else it just seems like a big upgrade.
