Week One Preseason: Saints @ Chargers
 

Real football for the 2025 season starts with New Orleans playing at Los Angeles.

I think we are all anxious to see what happens with the QB situation. Also want to see if any WRs step up.

Re: Week One Preseason: Saints @ Chargers
 

Which QB starts? My money is on Rattler.

Re: Week One Preseason: Saints @ Chargers
 

I would expect so. It is his turn. Means nothing, but keeping to the rotation it makes sense. Now, if it's Shough it does make it a little more interesting because of changing the rotation. We'll see.

Means "nothing"?

Re: Week One Preseason: Saints @ Chargers
 

Yes. At this point who actually starts this first preseason game means little to nothing. On the other hand, how they handle their chances mean everything. Wouldn't you agree? I would also suspect that whomever doesn't start this game will start next Sunday. Also meaning nothing beyond rotation.

I will have much more faith in Moore if he starts Rattler. Tells me he’s not afraid to go against “his guy” for the betterment of the team. It would be a different story if camp competition was closer, but everything I’m reading from the local media says Rattler is having a better camp.

Re: Week One Preseason: Saints @ Chargers
 

Rattler won't start game 1 of live football because it's simply "his turn".

It means he's won the coaches trust over Shough.

I agree "how they handle" will be paramount, but this wasn't a casual decision.

Re: Week One Preseason: Saints @ Chargers
 

Don't we need two preseason games worth to make a better determination on who's going to start? CKM said he was close, however, in a recent interview, FWIW. We don't have a clue yet as fans as to how the plays are being executed as the coaches want them to be.

Re: Week One Preseason: Saints @ Chargers
 

By "live football" I meant preseason game one. Now if the same player that started game one also starts game two then that does mean something. Today's camp is Rattler's turn run the ones. 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.
