Deserves got nothing to do with it. If Shough sucks and folds under pressure it would be awful to pull him out and put Rattler in. Rattler will start and if he sucks Shough will come in and start the rest of the year.

I don't see any reason Shough starts over Rattler. I don't care about upside or whatever, Rattler is the starting QB at this moment. We wont see back to back WR screens in a game. I'm hoping we will see a different offense week 1.

This is the the most retarded way of gauging a qb in pre season. Congrats. I thought you were a tad bit smarter than most of the other knuckle draggers around here

yeah, using stats as a basis for comparison between players, on the same team, in the same system, playing with the same players, is butt frickingly insane...

did he though?

look, personally, i do think they will name him starter... they gave him more time today to try to give them a reason to name him starter, and he did just enough to accomplish that... but to act like he was so much better than Rattler, when really Rattler had the better stats, up until the rush TD by Shough, well, it's disingenuous and intellectually dishonest...



The very fact that we are debating who is best is a problem. They should have drafted Shough only if he was demonstrably better than Rattler. The fact is he isn’t.

We should have invested our second round pick in s better talent. We need so much help thdd we best available was the pick,
