New Orleans Saints coach Kellen Moore has confirmed that the team will decide on a starting quarterback “in the next few days.” The decision comes after a three-man competition between Spencer Rattler, Tyler Shough, and Jake Haener. Despite narrowing down the options, Moore emphasized the importance of collaboration among coaches to make the final call.
Moore plans not to bring in an outside veteran for the job, instead opting for his existing quarterbacks. He believes they are young and will continue to grow with each passing day. Rattler was the starting quarterback in Saturday’s preseason finale, while Shough had a strong performance in the second quarter of their last game.
Shough feels that he has shown enough to win the competition, citing steady growth in his performances throughout training camp. He is confident that he can lead the team and is excited for the upcoming season. Rattler takes a more diplomatic approach, focusing on putting his best foot forward rather than actively thinking about the potential starting role.
The Saints will face the Arizona Cardinals in their regular-season opener on September 7.
