The Tyler Shough era is officially upon us. Head coach Kellen Moore is handing the keys to the New Orleans Saints' offense to their 26-year-old second-round rookie quarterback.
Consequently, Spencer Rattler gets relegated to the bench after getting the first crack under center. Whether you agree with the move or not, it's happening, though there's an argument that Moore's decision was more meritless and impulsive than warranted.
Rattler hasn't been outstanding by any stretch of the imagination. However, he's been surprisingly functional, especially following a nightmarish 2024 rookie campaign. His efforts in 2025 haven't justified a benching, which the numbers bear out.
