Shough was outstanding today in his 2nd start.
When your OLine gives you time you can do good. One thing good is he didn't panic when the pocket collapsed but he stepped up and found the open guy.
was he in the portal?
I didn’t see the game but I NEVER understood the love for Rattler......I just don’t remember him being that good in college.....
long overdue. really makes you question Kellen Moore in how does a professional coach take so long to do the obvious. who dat.Quote:

He did play well. Let him start the rest of the year and see what he can do over several games.Quote:

Why not give the coaches some credit for developing him to the point he can help them now. That is just as likely if not more likely to be how it went down rather than he wasn't starting the best QB. Kellen Moore may or may not should have put him in sooner, there is no way for us to know without being at practice to see how that new guy was actually performing or was running the offense.
Coaches do screw it up a lot when it comes to picking the starter, especially at QB. Why? It's freaking hard to figure out. The love the best athletes just like we do, tallest, biggest arm, fastest but that simply does not translate to the best QB. Sure those guys are better if all other things are equal but they aren't. Some guys can just get it done on game day and others can't.
And he didn't make stupid mistakes/
I'm really liking shough. He won that game yesterday on the road vs the bucs
Now if the Saints can load up through the portal…..oops wrong league.Quote:

In the NFL, the best players do not play.
The players are played are the ones that are getting paid. So, no matter how much better you are than the guy ahead of you, you ain't playing if he is getting paid.
This ain't coming from just the HC. That is how it's going to be or you don't become a HC in that league.
He's playing behind an absolutely horrid oline, but he's still making plays. He's faced 3/5 teams with winning record on the road, and he actually led the saints to wins in 2 of them. The falcons game was a stinker, but the kicker cost them a shot to be in it late. Olave let the go ahead td go through his hands late in the 4th quarter vs the dolphins, who are actually playing great lately.Quote:

Like penix over cousins until injury? Not sure I agree with thatQuote:
