re: Do we cut Rattler this week so he can catch on with another team?

Ahhh… so he’s been a retarded Rattler rider. Thanks for letting me know. I thought they were all gone by now. I’ll ignore him.

weren't the Saints like the worst first quarter team in the league last year?

it takes two to tango your defense not stopping the other offense and then your own offense not putting up any points.

not complicated to figure out

No. I'm telling you this team isn't there yet. We aren't getting 10 wins.

Rattler is just not a winning QB without a dominant D and running game. He refuses to throw deep.

Saints QBs career per attempt stats:

Brees - 67.7% 5.4% TD, 2.3% INT, 7.6 yards per attempt, 11.3 yards per completion, 6.6 air yards per attempt, 5.6 air yards per completion, 82.4% on target, 11.4% bad throw

Shough - 67.6% 3.1% TD, 1.8% INT, 7.3 Yards per attempt, 10.8 yards per completion, 8.3 Air Yards per attempt, 6.0 air yards per compeltion, 76.5% on target, 15.9% bad throw

Rattler - 62.7% 2.5% TD, 2.1% INT, 6.0 Yards per attempt, 9.5 yards per completion, 8.0 air yards per attempt, 5.3 air yards per completion, 73.2% on target, 14.4% bad throw

Wilson - 57% 2.3% TD, 2.5% INT, 6.3 Yards per attempt, 11.1 yards per completion, 7.8 Air Yards per attempt, 5.8 Air Yards per completion, 72% On Target, 21.2% Bad throw

Carr - 65.1% 4.4% TD, 1.9% INT, 7.1 yards per attempt, 11.0 yards per completion, 7.8 air yards per attempt, 5.8 air yards per completion, 78% on target, 15% bad throw

Hill - 63.3%, 3.9% TD, 2.9% INT, 7.9 yards per attempt, 12.4 yards per completion, 8.2 air yards per attempt, 7.0 air yards per completion, 74.7% on target, 17.2% bad throw

Winston - 61.1%, 4.8% TD, 3.5% INT, 7.6 yards per attempt, 12.5 yards per completion, 10.1 air yards per attempt, 8.1 air yards per completion, 70.4% on target, 19.5% bad throw

Bridgewater - 66.3%, 3.6% TD, 2.3% INT, 7.3 yards per attempt, 11.0 yards per completion, 7.3 air yards per attempt, 4.4 air yards per completion, 79% on target, 14.7% bad throw



Note the advanced stats are only for the last 3 seasons of Brees career when he was a noodle arm...and he still had more yards per attempt and air yards per completion than Rattler.

Rattler ranks dead last among all these Qbs in yards per attempt and yards per completion and only captain checkdown Teddy had a lower air yards per completion

You can see this evidence backed up yesterday when comparing Rattler's 3-5 yard attempts and Wilson actually airing it out.

He's thrin deep in camp and the last 2 years. The play calling is different with him in the game. Whether he can't make the plays or not I don't know but Moore definitely handcuffs him.

He's related to Rattler

When there is actual good OL play and he plays horrid, then perhaps. We keep expecting QBs, RBs, etc to play well and "make plays" but yet we just push aside that the OL has been playing like dogshyte.
As poor as Rattler has been, Wilson has been as bad or worse. Just bc of one preseason game is not a reason to make rash decisions yet.

Shough was 5-4 to Rattlers 1-7 with the same players. That’s at least somewhat relevant

Shough had less and less to work with as time went on and the injuries got to ludicrous levels by the last game.

And people want to harp on playoff teams, but Shough faced some tough defenses who just happened to have shitty offenses, which is why most of those teams missed the playoffs.

Edit:
This is in support of your post, just so it's clear.
