QB Poll
 

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?:

Re: QB Poll
 

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.

Re: QB Poll
 

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.

Re: QB Poll
 

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.

Re: QB Poll
 

From what I've seen from the three games I would say Shough. I like how he changes his release point to be able to make the throw. Feel like the catchers dropped 4-5 balls against the Broncos they should have had.
I've nothing against Rattler but he doesn't wow me either.

:roflmao:

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

Re: QB Poll
 

Honestly, that's pretty much the way I see it, too.

Re: QB Poll
 

Way to put it on the line Guido.

Re: QB Poll
 

Since there doesn't seem to be a clear separation- at least that we know as fans - I think Rattler gets the nod.

Re: QB Poll
 

They are pretty much even head to head.

One QB has started 6 NFL games and 2 preseason games and is 0 for 8

One QB has started 1 NFL Preseason game that ended in a tied.

Why would you pick the 0 for 8 QB all things being even … just asking.

And people complained we kept doing to the same ole thing over and over expecting different results with the previous Saints Coaching Staff’s.

Re: QB Poll
 

If you watched those games last year, you'd know Rattler had very little to work with.

One major reason to believe in Rattler THIS season is the coaching staff (3 NFL QBs) and a healthy roster. Not an elite unit but enough pieces to make things happen.

I wouldn't hate seeing him get his shot.

Re: QB Poll
 

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.

Re: QB Poll
 

Not taking either side but u also have to realize rattler is still a yr younger. Yes he had a yr in the nfl but also came out 2 yrs younger then shough. Give him the extra 2 yrs in college where would he b? Not sure we have a great ab but both r ok but need time to see what we have. They were late or high on a lot of balls. Some still catchable. Some play calling I didn’t like that stopped drives. Don’t think they were on our qbs

Re: QB Poll
 

We need our o line and rbs to help. Let’s see when they are in with Alvin

Re: QB Poll
 

Hard call. They've been basically neck and neck through this whole thing. For me personally, I think I'd go with Shough and chase the upside. Rattler just seems to be who he is, and that's fine. I liked him last year, I still like him this year, but I don't know if there's a lot more potential there to be pulled out. Maybe there is, but it's pretty well hidden as of now. With Shough, I feel like I can much more clearly see the untapped potential. Can he reach it? Only time will tell. But I'd hope to give him every opportunity to do so.

All that said, I'm probably 65% certain that they go with Rattler, and I don't hate that either. It's very likely to be another tough season anyway, so we'll probably get an extended look at both guys eventually. I just want it to be a big enough sample size to be able to confidently say going into next year's draft whether we already have our QB or not.

Re: QB Poll
 

I view the competition the opposite way of many in our fan base. Spencer Rattler is a 5th round pick. It doesn't matter if he's been here an extra year or not. Haener has been in the league for 3 years and both Rattler and Shough were able to clearly distinguish themselves from him. 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.

Yes I’ll take a left handed, long haired Brees over both. Lol
