Spencer Rattler Saints Starting QB

08-27-2025, 08:03 AM

We are at a point where there is nothing more to be learned except by letting one play and see how that washes out. Rattler is the safe choice to start this season and likely is more instinctual with the playbook.

Shough needs time to develop instinctual execution with the playbook as evident in his draft analysis showing erratic decision making which would be further amplified by lacking a strong familiarity with the playbook. He has had a lot of injuries and may be hit shy. Coach does not want to sacrifice him to our O-Line just yet.

I'll bet you Shough's starting before the season is over.

The aspect of starting Rattler I also like is it may be better for team culture. Make it more of a meritocracy like Payton's early years - no one's starting spot is assumed based on draft round or guaranteed money. Though no shade at Shough in saying this - I think he's doing fine, just not where Rattler is yet.

If Rattler performs better than expected, he'll keep Shough sidelined, and we'll have likely a winning record. If not, or if an injury sidelines Rattler, Shough will be more prepared later in the year.

I don’t listen to the “radio”, but I’ll remain loyal to watching more Drew Brees’ replacements crap shoot each other through another long a$$ season. Again…
