They shouldn't be. 1 rookie was thrown to the wolves with no coaching, no direction, no line, no WRs, no RB in 2024.

Lol. By the time rattler took over last year we were playing truck drivers on both lines. The team was far worse last year by the time rattler started

What happened this year?

Rattler was a 5th round pick and played like one. He isn't any good.

I'm sorry that your eyes can't see that

Anyone that has watched any football, it should jump off the screen the difference in talent level between the two guys

He was comparing the first 5 games.

Rattler had 3 TDs in week 2 this year. It still wasn't enough to win. That's somehow his fault? He played good enough to win some games.

I already know that Shough is better. He goes through his progressions where Rattler didn't. He'll only get better.

I'm only pointing out that a bad QB put this team into position to win multiple times this year. If Shough is superior why only 10 points vs the Falcons?

Shough is the starting QB of the Saints for the next few years barring injury. I'm not hoping rattler comes back in the game.

He was middle of the pack and top 10 in several qb rankings this year before his two game blowup.

The team isnt any fricking good. Shough may have more talent and may end up being better but he hasn't blown the doors off what rattler was doing.

Im sorry your eyes cant see that, or maybe you forgot everyone pissed off at olave and juwan johnson for dropping and fumbling all the time, or ruiz playing like a turnstile 24/7 and Kamara playing like shite. And the defense playing like shite

You are going to die on this hill. You are in too deep of your bad opinion so you feel you have to Dave Portnoy yourself into quadrupling down.

Again, if you can't just look at Rattler and Shough on the field and see a drastic difference then I don't know what to tell you

It is so readily apparent to anyone with a modicum of football acumen that its almost laughable

The fact that this is 6 pages is bizarre

It absolutely is. If there's a safety over the top (there was) olave sits down. Shough misread it.


The safety was not close to being able to help cover the top. It’s the reason why Shuck threw it deep. His read was to let Olave go make a play bc he saw one on one… so he let it fly.

The safety was on his heals and would not have got there in time. Look where he is at when the corner makes the pick

Olave had man coverage. On that play Olave has to realize that the safety is not going to make it there in time.

Olave should be conditioned by now to keep streaking and go make the play. It is the exact reason he is not a WR1.

That throw by Shuck was a veteran type read. If that’s Stafford and Adams, that is a big gain or a TD.

All other BS put aside. I must admit….

This post by gyno ends this argument.

Shucks trajectory as of right now is pinging.

He's absolutely surprised me to the point i wonder why he wasn't starting earlier in the season.

Sitting at 5 right now take Caleb Downs and call it a day.

It seems readily apparent that Moore made the right call

Let him sit and learn and take it in and then start him for the softer part of the schedule

Whats bad about my opinion? Hes played marginally better than spencer and I want him to get better? Thats bad?

I have provided tons of tangible information supporting my argument and all I get is

Show me the difference. And dont use bullshite things like eye test, command, poise, etc. Provide me with tangible statistical information that hes better than spencer outside of a team stat like wins and losses. No one has done it for 6 pages except for NIH's trying to lie his way through it.

This is a causal fan take.

The safety was jogging and was still 5 yards within the dB that picked the ball. He stopped running when olave stopped running because that was his responsibility.

Its like you guys have no concept of what zone is

The BIGGEST difference between the 2 is that Rattler is a one read QB who stares down his read the whole way, while Shough actually goes through his progression (though I wish he would get to his check down quicker at times, though he is already doing that better than Rattler ever did).

Another main difference is Rattler would put his eyes on the rush once he felt it, while Shough keeps his eyes down the field. He stands in there and takes a hit to deliver balls, while Rattler hasn't ever really done that.

The real discussion is watching the games.

Rattler was not good. He is a backup. He cannot make the throws and does not see the field well enough. He is small, inaccurate, and has a weak arm by NFL standards.

Shough is big, tough, escapes pressure well, and has a MUCH bigger arm. He also throws a much more catchable ball than Rattler.

I'm not going to sit here and give you screenshots of plays or some shite. Anyone that watches should be able to see the difference. It is very weird that you are dying on this hill of a 1-13 (or whatever) 5th Round QB.


Whether Shough is the QB of the future is an entirely different argument than whether he is better than Rattler.
