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.

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.

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.

One can hope.

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.
