Is anybody else watching this game today? Rattler is playing winning football. Receivers have had some awful drops. I am somewhat impressed.
Spencer Rattler is slowly playing himself into fantasy football consideration. He's been bad for Olave so far but you can't ignore his last 2 weeks.
I have been trying to trade him in two dynasty leagues for weeks now with no takers. We shall see if I get any offers this week. Maybe I'll just hold him.
I've seen nothing to suggest he shouldn't start all season. Also, 49ers are good. Sure, Purdy and Kittle were out, but Bosa and Warner weren't.
Yeah, that 9ers defense is legit. Solid showing for Rattler. You won't be able to trade him due to the presence of Shough (the future). Just gotta ride it out.
Are we confident that Shough is definitely the future? I know he was a 2nd round pick, but wasn't exactly dominant in college.
That's assuredly hardly all on him, but when wins and losses are all that matters and there are no wins, QBs get replaced unless they have a big time pedigree. So there's certainly a risk there about Rattler staying as the starter.Definitely the best game he has played in the NFL, but he is still winless
I'M not confident in Shough. I just think that is the overall consensus as to what others think when trying to trade away Rattler. You're not gonna get anything in return since people are waiting on Shough to take his place any moment. New coaches and their shiny new toys and all. I can see them benching Rattler if they continue to lose, regardless of Rattlers personal performance, so they can see what Shough is.
A 2nd rounder for Rattler? Sounds good to me. Shough is the future. The Saints were lucky to win that game, they were on the verge of losing the lead again before the scoop & score.
What makes you confident that Shough is going to be any good? Personally, I have my doubts. I would think the team would want to see what they had in him very soon if they think that he could be. Otherwise, I’d imagine they’re taking a QB early next year.
Maybe just trying to keep the game simple for Rattler and avoid turnovers. IIRC, Moore tends to be an aggressive play caller, so maybe they start to open things up a bit more.
The Saints aren't in a cap position to take yet another QB. Last I saw, their dead cap hit for 2025 was something like 90mil. It's hard to field a competitive team like that. IMO, they need to suck it up, roll with either Rattler or Shough for the next several years, stockpile talent under rookie contracts and get themselves out of the cap hell that they've put themselves in. Might be time to go back to the grocery bags on the fan's heads for a few years.
Surprisingly, they have been competitive in most games this year. It would slow down any growth Rattler is having, but they should probably be active at the trade deadline and start loading picks. Kamara, Olave, and/or Rasheed may be considered as they probably shouldn’t be extending the receivers and Kamara is nearing the end of his value in the trade market.
100%. Will they do it? Doubtful. MIckey Loomis is the guy who got them into this mess during the Drew Brees days.
Was he actually that bad? Felt like the team needed a spark?
Agreed. Unfortunately Shough doesn't present as Jaxson Dart.
I thought it was scapegoating. Shaheed and Olave couldn't hold onto the ball, and it made the numbers look worse than the play.
If he was better looking he would still be the starter. jk…. I remember when he was going to be a superstar after his first year at Oklahoma. Then when they got Caleb Williams everything went to
for him, with a small resurgence later at South Carolina. Nothing to get excited about however.
