quote:The point I'm trying to make is that if your team needs a QB, you can't wait until you're sure there will be a QB "that will come in and light up the league." If you do that, you don't draft Josh Allen, or Lamar Jackson, or Justin Herbert, or Ben Roethlisberger, or Drew Brees, or whoever. Even if you do wait, you might end up with Trevor Lawrence, who everyone thought was a sure thing for 3 years before he was drafted.
It appears there's no QB in the draft that will come in and light up the league day 1
That being said, I'd love it if Shough plays after the bye and looks awesome. If he doesn't and the Saints feel like the rest of their team is so bad they need to wait on drafting a QB... OK, fine, draft an edge or whatever, but if they win 7-8 games the next season with average QB play they will have significantly less QB options (and still no "sure thing") in the next draft.

We need a legitimate QB
We need players. The current roster is a disaster.
Saints will probably have the #2 pic (the Jest are really bad) and somebody will covet that pick, make them pay for it. If you can pick up four? decent picks instead of QB that may or may not work out why not. 10 or 11 new players through the draft is exactly what we need.
Rattler makes some mistakes but I'd bet the coaches are pleased overall with his play. He is playing pretty well with dogshit around him I suspect he would be better with better weapons.

No matter how many other players we get in this draft, we'll likely still need a QB in the next. There is no sustained success in the NFL without a great QB.

The staff likes Rattler. It would have to a lead pipe cinch QB at 2 and I'm not seeing that.
Agree on a high price for the pick.

quote:Sure, when the only alternative is rookie Shough. I guarantee there will be a name or two in the 1st round they like more at QB. The only thing that keeps us from drafting one in this draft is winning too many games, or Tyler Shough looking really good after the bye.

Nope…..
Keep the Rattler train geauxing through the whole year.
We want the #1 Overall Pick

How is it not a wasted pick if your 2nd round pick doesn't see the field?

Because he can play next year? We have 3 coaches that work with QBs. If they were in a rush to put Shough out there, he'd be playing. We don't NEED to see him play this year. If Moore thinks week 18 is enough to start him, I'm fine with it.

Well this aged well, didn’t it? lolololo
Catch the latest NBA news and tell me again how smart it is to “tank” a season. That’s a serious federal crime to commit over a chance at an unnamed and unproven rookie.

NBA teams tank for lottery position every year. They even have a name for it now: "the process". This gambling thing going on has nothing to do with anything like that. You really are weird.

I want to win always. I want to win every game. I hate losing.

Why is it unsurprising that this goes over your head? Anyone who advocates for tanking so the Saints get first dibs on an as of yet unknown rookie can’t be that bright to begin with, so your failure to grasp what I’m saying doesn’t likely surprise anyone.
Maybe go see if your mommy as made you a mid-morning snack and turned on the cartoons for you.
