Thank you Mr. Team and Player excuse maker guy.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah “20-0” blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

I don’t care about other teams, players, coaches, front offices or anything else. I also don’t buy into the excuse that what’s happening with my team is more acceptable because it is or has happened somewhere else.

Blah blah blah

It is what it is. I have no issue if or when you and any others complain about it the same as fans elsewhere. Just pointing out that we aren't cursed. We just have the same issues as your average team in the NFL. Let's just hope our four mainstay anchors on the line stay healthy all year and we'll be fine. Heck, just the other day I heard talk on NFL Radio that the future looks great for the Saints as far as on the offensive line with the four 1st rounders and McCoy, probably the most important of all, as a 2nd rounder.

And, no, I wouldn't call injuries acceptable, but I do know they are all part of the game. They are unfortunate, but cannot be blamed on anyone in most cases. But I agree it might behoove us to load up on more o-linemen in the draft hoping that it can result in more depth.

That being said, I say let Rattler have it. But at the same time you could argue you he’s already been in the league a year and should have separated himself a bit more from the competition.

I don’t think either of them will be starting anywhere in a couple of years. Unless we are stuck with them.

The only time they do anything is against the other teams scrubs.

If we win more than 3-4 games this year I will be stunned.

You ought to drop a few bucks on your wagering app taking advantage of the Saints 5.5 over/under number right now.

Rattler or Shough? Former GM says Saints have an easy choice in QB decision

'He has way more upside'

John Sigler
Saints Wire

Who should the starting quarterback be when the New Orleans Saints come running out of the tunnel in Week 1? According to former New York Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum, it should be Tyler Shough, the team's second-round draft pick.

Tannenbaum shared his take on ESPN's Get Up morning show: "He has way more upside than Spencer Rattler, this is somebody that started way back at Oregon, he's a little bit older. But this is a sneaky good offense with Rashid Shaheed, Chris Olave, and Alvin Kamara. Put Tyler Shough in, much higher ceiling. This offense will surprise people during the season."

It wouldn't take much for the Saints to surprise some people. The team is regularly ranked near the bottom of the league in terms of watchability, and expectations are awful low. A couple of 30-point games would go a long way to busting the narratives that have begun to surround them. If head coach Kellen Moore and his staff believe Shough gives them a better chance to win, they should roll with him.
