Who Dat Nation — it’s time to talk about the future under center. Tyler Shough has had flashes that make you wonder if the Saints might have something special brewing. But is he the guy? Let’s break it down.
The Case For Shough:
- Arm Talent: The kid can sling it. Deep outs, seams, touch throws — he’s shown he can make every NFL-level pass.
- Poise Under Pressure: He’s starting to look more comfortable when the pocket collapses, showing composure and awareness that rookies usually lack.
- Upside: He’s young, coachable, and with the right system, could be molded into a long-term starter.
The Case Against:
- Inconsistency: The flashes are great, but we’ve seen some head-scratching throws and timing issues that cost drives.
- Durability: His college career had more time in the trainer’s room than anyone liked. Staying healthy will be key.
- Small Sample Size: We’ve seen promise — but not proof. One or two good games don’t make a franchise QB.
So, Who Dat Nation — what do you think? Is Tyler Shough the quarterback of the future for the New Orleans Saints, or just a short-term spark?
