Re: Week One Preseason: Saints @ Chargers
I think we are all anxious to see what happens with the QB situation. Also want to see if any WRs step up.

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. |

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.

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. |

Re: Week One Preseason: Saints @ Chargers
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.
