To clarify, I meant to ask which QB starts this weekend. That said, the battle for the QB to start the season really does seem to be down to Rattler and Shough and from what I'm reading, Rattler apparently is in the lead.

Apparently Rattler is with the ones again today. I read that's twice in a row. I had thought Shough was with the ones on Sunday, but I guess I was mistaken. That leads me to believe he's getting the first preseason start. But that all changes if Shough goes with the ones again tomorrow.

Let's see if they keep any rotation going. If Shough runs the first team today does that mean he's been declared the winner of the competition? No. It really means little until the regular season starter is explicitly named or one player consistently begins running with the ones in camp.
Camp is used to determine pecking order. By the first preseason game the order is most likely decided and up to the starter to lose. I do expect both to play a significant amount of snaps in pre season game 1 and out of that should be a clear winner.

Shough may run first team today but again I think the preseason starter will be our regular season starter barring injury.

Keep in mind they only play 3 preseason games so while coach may rotate in game 2, the significance of who starts game 1 is not coincidental.

Don't forget the Jameis versus Taysom decision. It wasn't made until after the second preseason game.

Well, it appears Moore hasn't made a decision on who will get the start this weekend.

Well, now they are saying both QB's worked with the ones today. Friday is supposed to be another scrimmage with 126 proposed snaps. Maybe will have a better idea of Sunday's starter after that.

QB battle will be noteworthy however keep an eye on the RBs not named Kamara.

Last year Underhill stated (Podcast) a few times how Kendre Miller not being on the same page pre snap (probably why he had limited reps when healthy). Fast forward to Day 5 of this year's camp, read he forced a timeout due to line up issues.

Keep an eye on Akers, Velus & Yarns.

Devin Neal will be out for a few weeks.
