QB Poll

iceshack149 · 08-24-2025, 02:17 PM

Simple enough. With the NFL season starting in less than two weeks, who will be the Saints QB to start the season?
Rattler?
Shough?
This guy?:

No clue. I just expect Moore to choose the one that best satisfies his short term agenda, whatever that might be. I'll be 100% supportive regardless of the decision.

Way to put it on the line Guido.

Okay, 76. Since Rattler hasn't differentiated himself from Shough even with a year's more experience in the league I would personally go with Shough given he was likely Moore's choice and given a guaranteed, yet still minimal rookie contract. I actually love the way Shough changes his arm angle on throws and his size and presence when he decides to run on those RPO's.

But, no telling what they are thinking and seeing behind their doors. As I said before, I'll support whatever they decide.

I don't think it matters. Regardless of who is named Qb week 1 both Qb’s will wind up starting games this year. I would put Rattler in first until we know what we have with our offensive line but that's just me.
Also since the coaches know more about it than I do I shouldn't open dialogue or discuss my opinion either way. I shouldn't even think about it, Ill just believe everything the organization says. I may regurgitateate some things I hear on Sirius radio and bash others for having their own opinions though.

Part of that was the most aware that I have ever read from you.

Although, open dialog is great ... from everyone involved no matter what they think. Dialog includes discussion of differences of opinion which pretty much defines what is the purpose of a forum.

I have no idea. Lol. Maybe put each of the quarterbacks in for two games. By week five most of the offensive line will be injured, so then you can put that goofy bastard in there and let him get eaten alive by defenses.

Atta boy G - that wasn't so hard, was it?

The 2nd round pick can't clearly distinguish himself from the 5th round pick. Not just a 5th round pick, but another regimes 5th round pick. Given where Shough was taken his stat line should look similar to a Jaxson Dart. Instead he's neck and neck with a 5th round pick. All that being said, start him. You picked him that high, so start him.

I recall you mentioning Rattler wouldn't get a fair shot. Do you still feel that way? I thought it was telling how Spencer started with the 1s in 2/3 games.

IMO he looks about the same as he did last season and my main issue is accuracy.

Shough has the same problem. His ceiling may be higher but he's making just as many mistakes as Spencer.

I can justify either guy starting so in a way I'm left agreeing with Guido - whoever starts is fine with me.
