I dig it. Who cares that he is 25. Let’s say he sits year one and then starts and he is our guy until 40.

That’s 14 years folks.

I’m pretty sure you guys noticed he wore #9. Maybe a sign. Fingers crossed 🤞

But I hope he knows it’s off limits.

Bayou Rattler is merely one year younger ... FWIW

I don't think Rattler is going to get a fair shake now.

Arch Manning
Lanorris Sellers
Cade Klubnik
Garrett Nussmeier

I have a feeling they'll be picking one of them in the 1st round next year. Watch the games this season. Especially Nuss with his dad being here.

It'll be interesting if Arch decides to only play one year.

If the gamble on a QB in this sucky year for a QB does not pan out, you'll be right. However, it won't cripple a franchise.

We weren't expected to win this year anyway.

If we find ourselves in the top 10 again, then it's nice to know there are high quality QB options in the 26 Draft.

And at least we'll have a very capable backup in Shough.

The problem isn’t that being 25 will make him turn 40 earlier. The problem is that being 25 probably made him look better than he is playing against 20 year old kids. You dont neccessarily have to subtract years from his career to equalize value, you have to look at what Rattler accomplished in college before leaving for the draft at 23yo or what Shedeur Sanders accomplished in his last season of college at 22yo and compare to what Shough produced in college by age 22-23 which is basically nothing but injuries and 1:1 td:int ratio. Any mildly ok qb will eventually have a good college season if they keep getting closer to their late 20’s prime than their rivals and wait for one perfect year, but at some point you have to buy the normalized trend not the peak.

Rookie minicamp this weekend coming up... let's see happens.

Chris Simms was co-hosting Airing It Out on NFL Radio with Bob Papa this morning and he was most excited about Tyler Shough amongst all QB's. He said his age is not a negative at all. He said you have to be a "real grown man" to play in the NFL and Shough is a real grown man. He praised every aspect of his game and gave the indication that he is the most ready to play QB in the draft, an opinion that I have heard more than once elsewhere. He added that the coaching he got from Louisville's Jeff and Brian Brohm was top notch. Chris' father, Phil, is from Kentucky and the Simms family are apparently close friends with the Brohms so they know the scoop. He also said that Kellen Moore will be a perfect fit for Shough.
