Quarterbacks

I’ve been in the Spencer Rattler camp since last year and all of camp this year. As far as him and Shough go I think Rattler is the better QB right now, however if I’m Moore and Loomis I pick up the phone immediately and bring in Sam Ehlinger to compete. He definitely looks more polished and does a great job of avoiding pressure and extending plays. With our offensive line situation currently that could make for a good fit.

Re: Quarterbacks

I think the "competition" (if we can call it that) has been so evenly matched, in that neither of them really played well, that I think it has to go to Shough.

I want whoever is the better player, but I think Rattler had to absolutely prove he deserved it over the "guy they drafted."

To me, if the competition was going to be close, then they'd just choose the guy they drafted. Unfortunately it's been close in the sense that, neither of them look good.

Re: Quarterbacks

I was ready to throw this season out the window but it sure would be a shame because this defense looks like it could be really good.

Re: Quarterbacks

What's the old saying... if you got two QBs you don't have any QBs? While there is some truth to that, your QB Ehlinger has been in the league longer than 6 months. I wouldn't be fooled by his preseason flash with personnel that in reality won't even make the cut in less than a week. Same for Rattler in terms of being in the league longer than Shough. Rattler should be the more polished QB of the bunch. As I posted in a previous thread, I suspect we'll see it play out during the year. It's the right decision to begin the season with the Bayou Rattler. If he needs "depends diapers" because he's chitting on the field, Tyler Shough should be further along then to take over, a la Brock Purdy. If neither work out, this will be a 17 week tryout period for both QBs and we'll be drafting Nussmeier or someone like him early in the draft next year.

Haener is the early odd man out. He's merely backup material at this level, like Ehrlinger. I would have loved to see Hunter Dekkers. But methinks the Saints will stash him until next year. Heck he may be our third QB this year. A lefty like him would be cool. Steve Young was an accomplished lefty HOF QB.

Re: Quarterbacks

Rat has shown nothing in year two that would lead me to believe he has the ability to start in the NFL. Shough has played just as good with only 4 months under him. No way Moore starts Rattler.

Re: Quarterbacks

Most likely we'll be in the QB market next year. I wouldn't worry about addressing it right now unless a Joe Burrow or Lamar Jackson became available.

Only as FAs though... DO NOT TRADE for them. Keep dreaming, though.
