If we go back to last year, Rattler is 0-9 as a starter in the NFL. Obviously, that\u2019s not ideal.<\/p>\n<p>The Saints finished in last place of the NFC South last year, and they\u2019re back on the same path again in 2025. That is, unless first-year head coach Kellen Moore can help the offense find their spark. Last week, we saw second-round rookie Tyler Shough make his NFL debut, but the Saints may have to look for outside help to drastically turn their season around.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Recently, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JosinaAnderson\/status\/1970892217624690832\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:NFL reporter Josina Anderson;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">NFL reporter Josina Anderson<\/a> suggested the Saints should make a trade for a new quarterback. Specifically, Anderson believes it\u2019s time for the Saints to trade for <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/tag\/jameis-winston\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Jameis Winston;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Jameis Winston<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The timing couldn\u2019t be better, with the Giants just promoting first-round rookie Jaxson Dart as their new starting QB. Instead of making Winston the backup to Dart, the Giants are rolling with Russell Wilson as their QB2 instead, ensuring Winston will continue to be inactive on gameday. What purpose does that serve?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible the Giants would prefer to trade Wilson, since he\u2019s only on a one-year contract, and Winston is signed through 2026. Yet, both quarterbacks would likely prefer a change of scenery now that Dart has been installed as the Giants\u2019 new franchise QB.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>While the Saints should likely try to find a QB improvement, they\u2019re not fixated on getting as many wins as possible in coach Moore\u2019s first season. Plus, they already have a potential QB of the future on the roster in Shough.<\/p>\n<p>However, finding a better quarterback who can help take advantage of the existing talent on hand, such as Chris Olave, would be far more beneficial to the rest of the players on the roster, who don\u2019t have a year to waste.<\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/nfl\/nfl-qb-rankings\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:2025 NFL QB Rankings: Is Spencer Rattler the NFL\u2019s Worst Quarterback?;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">2025 NFL QB Rankings: Is Spencer Rattler the NFL\u2019s Worst Quarterback?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Related Headlines<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joe Nicholson-Imagn Images Spencer Rattler is 0-3 as the New Orleans Saints\u2018 starting quarterback this season.
