“It probably doesn’t feel great to be quarterback Tyler Shough right now. The rookie second-round pick has played relatively well for a scrappy New Orleans Saints team. However, New Orleans lacks the overall talent to turn competitive play into wins.
Against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, the Saints played just well enough to make things interesting late in the fourth quarter.
The Saints are barrelling toward a top-five draft pick, and they are very much in play for the first overall selection. That may mean a new quarterback in 2026 and a trip back to the bench for Shough. — Knox”
