Interesting comment from the board’s favorite whipping boy Jeff Duncan

Apparently, there were serious inquiries as to the availability of one Spencer, the snake Rattler by the Jacksonville Jaguars. And they were told he’s not available because “some“ people in the building still very much believe in him.

In fact, there was quite a bit of opposition to picking Tyler Shough at number 40 because “some” people in the building very much believe in Spencer Rattler.


Sounds very much like saying Mickey Loomis thinks Rattler is the guy. But coach Moore wanted his quarterback.

I mean, the only two people who really have the power to say no he’s not available because they believe in him would be the GM or the owner. At least Mickey was smart enough to give Kellen Moore the quarterback he wanted.

Anyone who still thinks Rat is the guy over Shough is a certified retard. I would hope that’s not Mickey cuz Jesus Christ if it is that’s insane. Shough clearly showed that he’s got what it takes and can become a star for us. Idk how anyone could look at our 2 QBs and think Rat is the guy. If what you say is true, someone with power in our front office is delusional.

Good grief.

Trevor Siemian is the worst quarterback I’ve seen start a game for the Saints but Rattler is a not too distant second. Every game felt hopeless with him under center. And that’s under two different systems.

He’s just not good enough. I’m sorry.

Anytime Rattler was the QB and it was 3rd and 5 or longer the punt was already lined up

Well whatever. I don’t know why fans even care this much about a backup, possibly 3rd string QB.

Rattler is trash. The fact he hasn’t been cut is a minor miracle.

He is no better than Kellen Mond.

The Saints should have taken whatever they could have gotten for Rattler! It's time to move on from him and look for a quality backup.

Rattler was teamed up with Matt Leinart as the Saints "representative" in the Super Bowl pickleball tournament. That told me everything I needed to know

He can never say he didn't get a good opportunity. He is too hesitant and doesn't do well with ball placement. His legs are his biggest asset.

This is VERY much not true and Loomis has done a very in depth interview on the whole pre draft (like years before) process with Shough, and how he was pegged very early as someone they would keep tabs on.

In fact if anything it would be Moore who might have preferred Rattler, as Shough was on the Saints radar long before Moore became coach, and Moore wasn't here long enough to have been heavily involved in most of the draft process that year.
