Week One Preseason: Saints @ Chargers

AsylumGuido · 08-04-2025, 10:50 AM

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.

Which QB starts? My money is on Rattler.

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.

I presume you mean WR behind the starters, right? I don't think that Olave, Shaheed, or Cooks have anything to prove other than supporting whatever QB is out on the field.

Nothing to prove but there may be some timing to work on.

Third and Ten gets old quick.

Means "nothing"?

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.

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.
