Considering both QBs had near identical preseason stats, it was a crapshoot either way.

I think if Kellen started Shough and then had to bench him, the draft pick would look like a failure.

If Spencer fails and Shough comes in a bit more prepared, then we'll see what could happen.

Pulling for Spencer though, I want him to light up the scoreboard

I’m not the coach but this see to be a pretty stupid move to me. He has shown nothing to put him in this position. The only thing I can think is they don’t want to throw Shough to the wolves.

Maybe that’s exactly their thinking. I get the feeling that we’ll be seeing Shough this season. If not, that means Rat is doing well.

Yup. Agreed. Actually, week five at home against the Giants may be the perfect time to insert Shough.

My guess is that Spencer knows the offense better and sees the field better at this point in both of their careers.

That should even out as time goes on this season.

Curious to see if they'll sign a new QB to operate as the inactive QB3 emergency QB, or if they re-roster Haener for that purpose. I would be surprised if they roll with 2 QB's and no emergency option for very long.

Kamara has been designated as the emergency QB before. You never know.

Our slow motion “crap shoot” train wreck just keeps rollin on, fueled only by fans loyalty. Y’all need to pat yourselves on the back.

There will be a QB on the practice squad and when Taysom returns from PUP he will be the de-facto emergency QB.
