SHOUGH IT: New Orleans Saints To Name Tyler Shough As Their Next STARTING QB | What To Expect
The New Orleans Saints have said it’s time to chuck it. You are Locked On Saints, your daily New Orleans Saints podcast, part of the Locked On podcast network. Your team every day. What is good Hudet Nation and Hudet family? I am your host, your friend Ross Jackson, New Orleans native, your New Orleans Saints expert and credentialed member of the media covering those New Orleans Saints as a Saints beat writer over at louisiana sports.net. On today’s episode of Locked on Saints, the New Orleans Saints have named Tyler Shuck or are expected reportedly will name Tyler Chuck as their starting quarterback throughout the rest of the season. We’ll dive into best and worst case scenarios for the quarterback. What happens for the Saints if neither quarterback pans out going into the off season? How Tyler Chuck can immediately compete and keep the Saints away from drafting another quarterback all by himself. And we’ll kick everything off with why this decision was no big surprise for the New Orleans Saints. We got all of that and a little bit of land for you here on the show. We appreciate you very much. Whether it’s your first time or your next time, being here with us this time, making us your first listen and being an everydayer, which on the show, which is a proud part of the Lock Podcast Network, your team every day.

Just head over to FanDuel.com today to get started. The New Orleans Saints are expected, right? We have to say that it’s expected. We have to say that it’s reported reportedly will uh name Tyler Shock as their starting quarterback moving forward. Once we hear that from the Saints, then it becomes official. And unless the Saints have put out anything on social media in the last six minutes, uh then uh you know, at this point, we’re going to still say report and everything like that. But this is very much the expectation is that Tyler Shuck will be the starting quarterback through the rest of the season for the New Orleans Saints. This would then give the team the opportunity to get a look at their rookie quarterback after getting eight starts with Spencer Rattler to start the season. Of course, his final start in Tampa ending in getting benched in the third quarter and then the Saints turning over to Tyler Shuck. That’s part of why this decision is no big surprise. We’ll dive into that here in just a sec. Now, this gives the Saints a maximum, right, of around nine games or of nine games plus a by-week to get a look at Tyler Shuck and then be able to go into the offseason and make an educated assumption or rather rather educated uh series of decisions based on their quarterback position. So, this is going to end up paying dividends for the New Orleans Saints one way or another. We’ll get into the challenge on Spencer Ratler or excuse me on Tyler Shuck moving ahead. But this move was no surprise at all. And there were only a couple things that you really needed to listen for to truly understand that. Kell Moore making it very clear and being consistent about this all the way through that he didn’t want to flip-flop at the quarterback position. And so benching one quarterback for the other and then going into the next week going back to that first quarterback would have effectively been the flip-flopping that he said that this organization was trying to avoid at the position. The other thing is that the reason why they benched Spencer Rattler is because they were they Kell Moore felt that he needed to give the offense a spark and there were a series of things that he said that they tried before changing out the quarterbacks but then eventually shifted out the quarterbacks in an attempt to generate that spark which effectively goes to say that if the Saints were to put Spencer Rattler back out on the field and they didn’t get that spark again that they would just make the decision all over again and then potentially go back to Tyler Shuck. So the opportunity for greater flip-flopping beyond even just going back to Spencer Rather was going to be there and you know any person in that situation is then going to be looking over their shoulder. So just rolling ahead with Tyler Shuck here is the right decision to make. Now I don’t want to get anything twisted. Spencer Rattler did not do enough to hold on to the starting job. That’s bottom line, right? That’s easy to see or not easy to see, but that is a part of the story when it comes to this, right? Either you are the starting quarterback or you’re not. And Spencer Rattler at one point was, he now is not. And he is handled every step of the way like a total pro. Going up to the podium uh to do media availability in the same game that he was benched along with Tyler Shuck. Uh continuing to speak to the media and and everything and has done a good job just in terms of being a pro. And look, Spencer Rather has dealt with this before. He’s been benched before going back to his Oklahoma days. He’s dealt with adversity, all this other stuff. Now the tide turns, the page turns to what could become now the Tyler Shuck era, however shortlived or however longived it can be. And that’s the other thing that I don’t want to get twisted is that Tyler Shuck has clearly earned this opportunity. I’ve seen a lot of people say Tyler Shuck’s not ready yet without actually seeing Tyler Shuck. And the only people that have actually really gotten a chance to see Tyler Shock is the coaching staff. So they’re the only ones that get to make that determination. Now, once they put him out on the field, everyone learns for certain, but if the Saints didn’t feel that he was ready, they wouldn’t be turning the offense over to him. They would just go back to Spencer Rattler. So, clearly, they feel that Tyler Chuck is ready. So, with all of those things taken into consideration, this is not a surprise to see the Saints make this decision, but it is a monumental decision nonetheless. The surprise to me was benching Spencer Rattler in game. It didn’t feel like a Kell Moore move or it it was a Kell Moore move, but it did it wasn’t something that I projected as something that Kell Moore would do in a game, but he did it. Kudos to Kell Moore. Saw something he didn’t like, made a change, right? And now he’s continuing that change moving forward. the things that Kell Moore have has highlighted since we have spoken to him the couple of times since that game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He highlighted that he wants the offense to be more aggressive, that there’s opportunities for that there’s some missed opportunities, that there were times where they had run plays that turned into throws and that there were, you know, there’s a sort of a desire for more explosive plays, which I think has been a desire all throughout the season up to even up to this point. And so those are the things you’re going to be looking for Tyler Shuck to bring. Can he be more aggressive than Spencer Rattler was? Can he find the explosive plays at a higher rate and at a more successful rate than Spencer Rattler did? Can he uh help to u you know take some of those RPOs and be able to create those rushing opportunities or see those rushing opportunities for his running backs. That’s always the tricky part with the RPOS. The Saints ran the ball, I think it was five times in the first half up against Tampa Bay Buccaneers. When you’re instituting a lot of those RPOs, sometimes that ball gets pulled and it gets thrown. And so you’re throwing on some of those run plays. Do we see a little bit of a different split that maybe is more to Kell Moore’s liking when it comes to Tyler Shuck’s decision-m versus Spencer Rattler’s decision-making. It’s not that one is more right than the other, but one might be more balanced than the other, whatever it might be. So, there’s a lot of things to look for here to see how it is that Tyler Shuck can not only come in and become the Saints starter, but potentially hold on to that starting role because make no mistake about it, this is an audition for the New Orleans Saints 2026 starting quarterback role. There’s absolutely no doubt about it. And so, this becomes a very, very important part of the Kell Moore era. This becomes a very, very important part of the Tyler Shuck era. and it will be a long-standing very important part of Spencer Rattler’s continued story as well. And so we’ll see how things ultimately pan out, but it will be this weekend up against the Los Angeles Rams that we’re expecting to see Tyler Shuck out on the football field as the Saints starting quarterback. That’s a tough gig going up against that uh Los Angeles Rams team, that Los Angeles Rams defense, and getting that first start on the road. However, you can’t make those decisions if you’re an organization worrying about who your opponent is. You make those decisions about who your starting quarterback is based on what it is that you need as a franchise, what you need as an organization, and in some more specific cases, what you need as an offense. And I think that those are all a part of the decisions that have led the Saints to this point. And it’s all part of why this isn’t super surprising. And I don’t mean to say that it’s not surprising because Spencer Rattler was so clearly bad. I don’t think that was the case. But I do think that there is a clear line of not being good enough in terms of what it is that Kell Moore and the New Orleans Saints were looking for, not giving them what it is that they were looking for. Um, and I do think that the obvious part of this is still very much there, which is that the Saints have told us what they were going to do all along. And it feels felt very obvious coming in. That’s why we did this morning show as a, hey, this feels obvious. The Saints are going to do this, right? And then now it sounds like the Saints are absolutely doing this. Expect Tyler Shuck to be the starting quarterback for the New Orleans Saints going up against the Los Angeles Rams. Now, the next thing that we’ll take a look at is how Spencer Rattler could potentially win his job for 2026 because that’s what these next nine games are going to be all about.

We thank you very much for being here. Whether you’re catching us live or you’re catching us later, we will still have another episode up for Wednesday morning. We’re going to focus on our film study coming out of watching Tyler Chuck. Now that we know that he’s going to be the starting quarterback, or now that we believe per reports that he’s likely to be the Saint starting quarterback, we know what’s happening here. Um, we’ll dive into a little bit of that in terms of some of those film notes. We’ll push some of the NFL draft conversation for a little bit later. Thursday, of course, crossover Thursday, so on and so forth. So, look, uh, the New Orleans Saints are expected to turn this thing over now to rookie quarterback Tyler Shuck, who was drafted in the second round, 40th overall in this year’s NFL draft. And now, this is officially going to be his audition for the 2026 uh quarterback job for New Orleans. and he will have and his performance will have an immediate impact on not only the Saints opinions about whether or not they should go specifically to the NFL draft looking for another quarterback, but he could completely alter the New Orleans Saints opportunity and ability to go out there and select another quarterback in this NFL draft. Let me explain. So, Saints have nine games left, six of which will be on the road. It’s all going to get started against the Los Angeles Rams. That’s going to be a really tough matchup. I wouldn’t put too much stock in what you see on the negative side when it comes to going up against the Rams. That’s a tough environment. Uh well, not really a tough environment, but like SoFi Stadium is SoFi Stadium, but that’s a tough team to go up against. That’s a team that’s going to pick your defense apart and find ways to stress out your offense by what they can do on their offensive side. Pukun is coming back. All of it’s going to be uh a bit the team’s going to be a bit outmatched in that matchup, but then they’ll travel to Carolina to take on the Carolina Panthers. They’ll have a byee. Then they’ll tra then they’ll be at home up against the Falcons. And then they’re on the road against the Dolphins and the Bucks. Remember the Dolphins? Then they’ve got two home games against the Jets and the Titans. Remember those two games? Remember the Titans, as they love to say. And then you’ve got the Falcons on the road at the end of the season. So there’s a couple of things. Oh, sorry. And then there’s the Panthers in there as well. So, there’s a couple of things to highlight about the way the schedule breaks out and how it impacts what can happen for Tyler Shuck. First of all, two teams he’ll see twice, and I do think that there is something to that. actually three teams he’ll see for a second time because he’ll see the Panthers twice, he’ll see the Falcons twice, and then he’ll see the Buccaneers for a second time after having played against them for the majority of the second half up um uh this past weekend as he entered the game in that third quarter. Uh so for me, I think that that is something that’s worth noting that he’ll get an opportunity to take some swings with familiarity at a later point in the season. And so something just to remember there. But for me, it’s the Dolphins, the Jets, and the Titans games. Those are the three games to me that are the most important for Tyler Shuck. Those are bad teams, meaning that those are winnable games. Those are defenses that you should be able to perform against. And most importantly, all three of those teams, the Dolphins, the Jets, the Titans, are right there with you as the New Orleans Saints in competition for the number one overall selection in this year’s upcoming draft. Meaning that if Tyler Truck goes and beats the Dolphins in Miami, leads the team to a win at home against the Jets, and finds a way to get a victory in Nashville up against the Tennessee Titans, he could push the Saints further and further and further away from even having the capability and resources to draft a potential replacement for him, thereby helping to solidify himself as the starting quarterback in 2026. This might be beyond the otherworldly best case scenario. This would be the very manageable best case scenario for Tyler Shuck is win your team out of the first round pick by beating the other teams that are in contention for the first round pick and thereby showing that you can win games with this quarterback. Remember, there was a lot of conversation around Spencer Rattler early on in the year. Is he good enough to win games? Can you win with him or are you just simply not losing because of him even though you are losing? And that became this big conversation, right? And we broke down like what we look at when it comes to the four stages of quarterbacking. Either you’re the quarterback that can play, you’re the quarterback that they can win with, you’re the quarterback that they can win because of, or you’re the franchise quarterback. And every quarterback goes through some version of proving that they are one of those four things or no longer having an NFL job, right? And so for Tyler Shock, he could quickly enter himself into the conversation of the guy that you can win with and then try to move you into the place of going out there and winning because of him. And so for me, like this is what Tyler Shuck can do to put himself in the best position possible to be the 2026 quarterback for this team. Beat the Dolphins, beat the Jets, beat the Titans at the very, very least. And that to me is the thing. I’m not saying that the Saints should do that or that they shouldn’t do that. I think there are a lot of people are going to say, “No, we want the number one overall pick.” Totally fine. Totally understandable. I get that. But here’s the thing. If you get the number one overall pick, you’re taking a quarterback. It’s happening. And so, if you’re Tyler Shuck, you don’t want that. You don’t want them to go out there and draft the number one overall quarterback in next year’s draft because that guy is seeing the football field. You’re not keeping the number one overall selection off the field. You feel me? And so, that’s what I’m talking about for Tyler Shuck. That would be the right thing for him or that would be a good thing for him and his opportunity that’s ahead of him to get done. So, for that, those are the games I’m looking for. The other things that you’re looking for is, could you go out there and find a way to compete with the Rams as quickly as this weekend? Could you go out there and find a way to compete with the Panthers that have been a surprisingly good game? What about going to Tampa and playing the Bucks for a second time? Can you show that you have made, you know, that there’s a big difference between when you get thrown in in the second half of a game versus when you actually have the opportunity to start with some starts under your belt and getting prepared as the starter for a game, right? Those are two very, very different circumstances. So, he’s going to have the opportunity to show some immediate improvement against a familiar defense. He’ll see two other defenses that will eventually become familiar. and he’s got one really, really challenging game, one really, really challenging opponent this upcoming week with the Los Angeles Rams. And so for me, this is kind of what you’re looking Now, best case scenario is that he wins out and all of a sudden the Saints are nine and you know, or I guess technically it would be 10 and seven. That’s the the best that’s the other worldly best case scenario. But we know that’s not going to be the case because this team has a lot of holes and deficiencies and the the quarterback question is only a part of the question mark when it comes to the New Orleans Saints here in 2025. There’s a lot of other stuff they need to get figured out. They need better protection up front. They need a better run game. They need the ball carriers to make the catches that hit them in the hands. Like there’s a lot of different things that have gone wrong for this New Orleans Saints offense and that could potentially clutter Tyler Shuck’s opportunity because if Tyler Shuck is playing mostly well, but the protection’s not there, the ball carriers aren’t catching the football and you end up with the number one overall selection, guess what? You’re still probably taking the quarterback. And so right now going into this game after the two limited explosions that he’s had so far, he’s 17 of 32 with a 53.1% completion percentage for 128 yards. He’s got one interception, been sacked twice, and he’s also got three rushes for 12 yards. Nothing spectacular so far. So what you’re looking to show if you’re Tyler Chuck is that there’s a big difference between being the quarterback that’s thrown in in the second half and the quarterback that gets an opportunity to prepare as a starter. that will begin this weekend and we’ll see if the Saints are surprisingly competitive in Los Angeles. Um, it becomes a very, very interesting Hollywood opening for Tyler Shock. Coming up next, what could go wrong for Tyler Shock? Well, that all comes down to trying to avoid that number one overall selection and what the New Orleans Saints do in that case. Let’s get to that next as we continue on with today’s episode of Locked On Saints, part of Lock on Podcast Network, your team every day.

The New Orleans Saints could still end up with the number one overall selection in the 2026 NFL draft. And that could be a complicating factor for the Tyler Shuck era. So, the thing that I wanted to highlight next, we went through kind of the best case scenarios for Tyler Shuck, but what about worst case scenarios? The worst case scenario is clear. The Saints kind of stay where they are right now as one of the worst teams in the league and move forward with maybe one, maybe two, maybe no more wins for the rest of the season. any of those cases would be considered worstc case scenario, right? And in each case, that would then mean that neither quarterback effectively panned out for New Orleans. You had three starts for Spencer Rattler last year, seven game appearances. You had eight starts for him this year. You’ll then have gone through nine starts with Tyler Shuck at max, assuming all goes well there. And then if you come out at the end of that and you still have the number one overall selection, then that’s kind of worst case scenario for Tyler Shuck. And the way to avoid that is easy. It’s just like we talked about. Well, easier said than done. Of course, for me, the guy behind the microphone, but doing it is about beating the worst teams in the NFL right now. It’s about beating the Dolphins, the Giant, the Jets, and the Titans. And so, if the Saints can do that and Tyler Shut can lead them to that, that obviously does a lot and gets a lot going his way. But if the Saints end up with the number one overall selection and no answer at quarterback in their building, they’ve got to take another quarterback. And obviously, Fernando Mendoza right now is the number one guy. there’s a lot of football left with the college football with college football and the college football playoff on the way and then of course all the pre-draft process and everything and some, you know, somebody is going to fall in love with some quarterback and that’s going to force everyone else to fall in love with that quarterback and then that quarterback’s going to shoot off the board only to fall in the draft and all these other things. Like we we know how the NFL draft works. It’s a science almost every year at this point that like the quarterback position is very volatile and what the public thinks and what the media thinks is never the same as the way that the teams think. We we should know these things by now, but we act surprised by them every draft process. But that’s what’s going to happen. And if the Saints end up with a number one overall selection, they’ll probably take whoever the number one quarterback is. It could be Fernando Mendoza by the end of the season. It could be Lenora Sers. It could be, you know, maybe Garrett Nusmeers, you know, season gets kicked into action after the Brian Kelly firing and Frank Wilson taking over at LSU and everything. Like, there’s a lot of different possibilities that can all take place when it comes down to what’s next uh when it comes to that the the 25 2026, excuse me, 2026 NFL draft. But for New Orleans, if they’re there, they’ve got to take whoever that top guy is. If you’re at the number one spot, you could trade back and maybe gather some uh capital and draft capital and things like that. Maybe there’s a world in which you, you know, lose most of these games and lose enough to hold on to the number one overall selection, but you still feel really good about what Tyler Shuck showed. But that wouldn’t be worst case scenario for Tyler Shuck, which is kind of the hypothetical that we’re playing with here. And so that’s it. that that that’s your worst case is that you don’t impress, the quarterbacks don’t pan out, and then the Saints have the number one overall selection and can go out there and draft the guy that they think can get them there. So, there you go. Like, those are those are the the far ends of your possibilities in terms of what happens. Ideally, the truth will be somewhere in the middle in terms of what happens here for Tyler Shuck and that he does enough to prove that he can be a guy that you look at for 2026. And then you can use your draft capital to then build around the quarterback position and continue to maybe try to address some of the other places where things haven’t really worked well for you here over the course of the season. Whether it’s at passcatcher, whether it’s on the offensive line again, whether it’s elsewhere, I I think the Saints, if they go off, if they need to address their offensive line again, they need to evaluate their first round, second round policy or process, everything like that, and maybe start looking later in the draft because clearly if you’re back taking or or interested in high draft picks or spending high draft capital at the offensive line after you’ve already invested four first round picks in the offensive line, you’re doing something wrong. And so, you need to do something different, right? So, we’ll see which way the Saints go with all of it, but that to me would be the worst case scenario. So, what is it that my expectations are? Um, I don’t expect much to change if I’m being entirely honest. I don’t know how much the um Saints would really see a huge leap coming out of this quarterback change. But ideally, it comes from maybe some more aggression. Like if I’m Tyler Shook, I’m going out there and I’m letting it rip. And I think that’s got to be the number one thing that he kind of does going into this situation is understand the opportunity that’s ahead. Understand that this is your shot and go out there and let it rip. The dude’s got a great arm. He can push the ball downfield. He’s got good athleticism with 463 uh 40 with a 46340 time. He’s got NFL size at 6’5 219 pounds. just go out there and work fast, operate, and get the ball downfield, right? Go out there and be aggressive because what do you have to lose? Give your receivers opportunities to go out there and make plays. And I think that’s the one thing that we haven’t seen consistently enough here over the course of the 2025 season so far is to go out there and put players in position to succeed. It was supposed to be Kell Moore’s big thing, right? Leaning on the superpowers and putting players in the best opportunities to succeed. I would make the argument that we haven’t seen that consistently enough this season. I think um Kellen Moore has said that he hasn’t seen that enough or that he hasn’t done that enough consistently enough this season. And so I think that there’s a really really great opportunity here for Tyler Shock to just go out there. This is it. This is your opportunity these nine games. Go out there and let it rip. Give the fans something to cheer for. You maybe you lose but you’re fun. Whatever it might be, like that’s got to be the biggest thing. And I think that anybody that’s a Saints fan should be wishing Tyler Chuck luck because anybody that’s a Saints fan would like to see this team improve. They would like to see this team get better. And so here’s an opportunity. You can go out there and you can pull for the guy that’s that’s going to be out there or you cannot. And I think that it makes a lot of sense to just pull for the guy that’s going to be out there and see how things go. Uh for me that’s going to be huge. And I’ve seen it a lot like in the chat here as we’re live, people saying like it doesn’t matter to me if it’s Spencer Rattler or it’s Tyler Shuck. It’s all about this the team and wanting the team to win. And I love that attitude because that’s that’s what this is going to be all about is this team trying to get better. And a big part of getting of this team getting better is going to be about solving and figuring out what’s going on at the quarterback position for them moving forward. There’s no doubt about that. But in the process, I’m looking forward to this. I don’t get to I haven’t gotten to cover stuff like this in a long time because I’ve been covering this thing since Drew Brees was around and so being able to actually cover more quarterback battles and all this sort of stuff like this is interesting and there’s intrigue here and so I’m really really excited about being locked in on all this and seeing how all of it goes. Um I’m looking forward to seeing if Tyler Shuck is going to go out there and be aggressive. Maybe not right away up against the Rams. Maybe early on in the Rams game. It’s a lot of feel things out, get comfortable, get in rhythm, get settled in. Make sure you know how to operate the offense, know the language, know the verbiage, all those other pieces. But the after that, once everything’s settled in, unccort it, man. Just let it go. Just absolutely let it go and then see how it all goes. And so that’s going to be the the thing that I’m looking for. U as Tyler Chuck, we expect takes the field up against the Los Angeles Rams. Uh we’ll of course be there at the Saints facility on Wednesday to cover practice. Um and we’ll be right here to get you everything that you need to know. And then of course going into tomorrow morning’s episode, we’ll take a look at the uh film study where what passes were available? What happened? Where did he take what did he take? Was it a lot of checkdowns? We’ll kind of roll through the tape and kind of benchmark everything so we can get a little bit of an idea of what to expect when it comes to Tyler Shuck, who will be, as we expect, the New Orleans Saints next starting quarterback. We appreciate you very much for being here with us. Make sure you come through for tomorrow’s episode. Don’t forget to catch us every single Monday through Friday on the GF Coast Sports and Entertainment Network at 10 a.m. as well.

Apologies for the mic quality!
That rookie gone get killed by the Rams 😂
Everybody else was kinda surprised😂😂😂
Need to get rid of groupie
Mannn the Rattler experiment should be over with
with nine games to play tyler should show improvement in the last few games of the season if he's their Qb of the Future..
Now watch Tyler put up 40 on the Rams😂
I agree with your worst case but I have an even worse possibility given shough already came out of college with injury history. Would be he gets hurt early behind the porous o-line and we dont get the chance to evaluate him properly.
We do not need to draft a QB in the first round. We need a wide receiver or a tight end
He won't make difference. With the first pick they need to get QB because the two qb's that we have will be nothing but career backups
Wow, it happened exactly how I called it!!! Give Rattler a month, October, and he’ll show you. Told you!!!! Ross seemed excited to break the news 😂😂😂
Thought Rattler showed enough to warrant at least a couple more games. Benching him against Tampa when all the skill players played like crap was a horrible move. But a bad organization will make bad decisions. I’m shocked people aren’t criticizing this.
If the saints get the first overall pick I’d trade back and acquire multiple picks. I’d probably trade back a few times. We need young cheap depth.
Your team is horrible!
Unfortunately implemented poorly with absolutely no planning.
Here comes the rattler male cleat chasers
Tyler shough has not earned this opportunity
Ross Jackson on Chop Suey watch.
Ross Jackson crying himself to sleep, clutching his body pillow that he painted Spencer Rattlers face on, mumbling "but…the AGENDA. I was so sure. I really thought Derek Carr was the problem. I really thought the little half and half man was going to save us all. THE AGENDA!"
GFY cult member
I’m excited that he is playing the ram number 1) imma be at that game, 2) baptize him, by fire I want to see how he fairs against an elite defense. Does he panick, does he crumble, and can he stretch the field.
It all starts with the offensive line play. No blocking means no time for decisions, sacks, interceptions. The O-lines poor play has even affected our running game. If Kamara and Miller are having a hard time finding holes I think we need to look at the game planning and coaching of the O-line in addition to the players. The team has also lost their energy and enthusiasm for the game. That's the spark they need. I still believe but I'm afraid they have almost given up on the year. We need offensive line leaders to step up and earn their $$$$.
Your either Brandion weden or your not
Thanks for passing this message to Spencer Rattler:
God close one door for you because he try to open another door for you so that he has to do so!
Don't be frustrated and do stupid things!
Express thanks to God who gave you first opportunity answering your previous pray a couple months ago!
Rams on the road a tough first start assignment – But, IF he survives the Rams game in LA, then he will be better for it when he then goes against weaker teams
I don't think the Saints could get any worse at this point.
1 -15 is enough time to show something or be the reason for a win which he didn't he's bad
Like I read in other NO Saints content: some "fans" are not scared for Shough falling, they actually are scared he proves them wrong.
I cheered for Rattler, I wanted he being successful but he blew it.
Now it's Shough time. At the end if he sucks he sucks, i won't make excuses for him like Rattler fanboys do
