Could Tyler Shough’s Dramatic Turnaround Make Him the Saints’ Surprise Week 1 QB?
Preseason football usually feels like a glorified scrimmage that barely merits a second glance, right? Well, this year, the usual shrug just won’t cut it—teams actually trotted out their starters in Week 1, shaking up the lazy “preseason don’t matter” narrative. And let’s talk about the New Orleans Saints quarterback saga—a true circus act in the making. Rookie Tyler Shough’s debut was a roller coaster, mixing flashes of brilliance with classic rookie blunders.
