Tyler Shough defied expectations, quickly sparking franchise QB buzz

Related Topics: Tyler Shough

Tyler Shough's stock quickly surged past quarterback for next season to potential franchise quarterback. Patience should be exercised, but it's far from hyperbolic. If I told you what Shough had at his disposal during his time as a starter, you would never guess the New Orleans Saints have a .500 record with him at the helm. While he still has Chris Olave, that's where the list stops, as far as highly touted players.

You want your franchise quarterback to be an elevator of talent, and we’ve seen Shough do that a couple times. After six games with Shough starting, losing Devaughn Vele to injured reserve feels like a major blow.
