Re: With the 40th pick in the Draft, the Saints select: Louisville QB Tyler Shough ⚜️
 

Kellen Moore didn't draft him and was willing to spend the highest draft pick on a QB since Archie Manning. I suspect it's Shough's job to lose. They're not going to want to admit being wrong on this one. Plus Shough is 6'5" and Rattler is probably hovering around 6'1". It's politics involved.

Kellen Moore had plenty of time to evaluate Rattler.

Doubt he'd spend a high pick on a QB who he doesn't view as a better player.

I see Haener as the odd man out while Rattler and Shough battle it out in camp.

I'm positive he believes Shough is the better player. I wouldn't necessarily agree, but I definitely feel like he believes that. That's why I doubt Rattler gets a real chance. He has to go absolutely bonkers in camp and during the preseason.

The Saints offensive coaching staff is full of ex-Quarterbacks, including the Head Coach. I feel pretty confident they know what to look for in a QB. I also know that Moore is going to play the best guy at that position regardless of draft picks.

To not admit wrong and bork your season because of that just doesn't make sense.

3 ex-high-caliber-quarterbacks, I think. There's 5 inch different between the Bayou Rattler and Shuck-man. We'll see in the camps who wins. KM is likely hedging talent at the QB position. With the CarrFax situation being a total disaster... they don't even know when/if the injury occurred. He could have injured it moving to Fresno... nobody knows. We only know CarrFax is an embarrassment to himself and now the Saints. I look forward to the camps.

Loomis fought hard to admit he was wrong about Dennis Allen and Derek Carr so it's not as though it's out of the ordinary behavior.

One can hope.

Re: With the 40th pick in the Draft, the Saints select: Louisville QB Tyler Shough ⚜️
 

I for one would like to see Shough get the job, but we must be prepared for something that will piss off many. Carr may very well be still in the picture as a starter. Moore is going to want the player that gives him the best shot to win this year.

Just throwing this out there until, or if, it is no longer an option.

Not so sure... I saw him downing his favorite drink or two at his bar on Metairie road. We likely won't really know until later.
