2025 Saints Training Camp

The Shough / entire QB situation is going to be an interesting one to play out.

Will the QB pick and the spot being up for grabs, give Rattler the determination he needs to be the starter?

Will Shough overtake Rattler and become the starter?

Can Shough overcome the flappy tendencies?

Will they both fail and we end up picking another QB anyway?

I have more faith in Rattler. He completed over 65% of his passes with both Oklahoma and South Carolina. He started in the Big 12 and the SEC. His final year at South Carolina he completed nearly 70% of his passes with a pedestrian offensive line in the hardest conference in college football. And even with all that he still might not be anything more than a sub-par to average NFL QB. I'm just saying if I was a betting man, I'd put my money on him.

I'm definitely intrigued to see what Rattler can do with actual starters, considering the 3rd string team he spent most of the time with last season.

Not to mention, whilst he had his struggles, he absolutely lit up the buccaneers in the first half of that game and was one 2 pt conversion away from beating the Commanders.

I like the toughness Rattler brings and he's not afraid to stand in the pocket to make the throw.
