Shough >>>> Rattler. Rattler is the very definition of a 5th round QB. Poor play, bad measurables. The dude went 0-6. You owe him nothing.


What makes anyone think Shough is a better prospect than Rattler, besides where he was drafted(in a much weaker QB class).

Rattler played in a better conference, against better competition and put up better numbers. He's younger, was a more highly touted prospect coming into college, and has NFL experience. Shough is injury-prone, has never put up big numbers against garbage competition and never won anything of note.

I doubt either ever succeed in the NFL, but if you told me one would have a long NFL career, I'd bet the house it's Rattler. Shough will be another wasted high draft pick that we blast this FO for taking (Jean Baptiste, Foskey, Turner, Sullivan, etc..)

We'll be taking Nuss or Arch next year. One of them will be our QB of the future and we can finally start this rebuild right.

Derek Carr was (is) a career loser and there’s still a legion of folks who think he can turn it around after 170 career starts

Same ones have shut the book on the Ratt king

And the same ones will be shitting on Shough and calling for Rattler after he loses a few games

If there is a QB that is better than the QB you have, yes. Worst case scenario, Slough is decent, you can trade him before his contract expires.

That wouldn’t be a tough choice at all. 2nd round picks bust all the time. Look at Foskey lol.

If Shuck sucks we will draft a QB next season as we will be picking top 5

I feel like we're way undervaluing a 40th pick. There were studs left there that could be immediate starters. I really hope Shuck works out, but I'm not confident.
