1-7 start isn't cutting it.

Saints bench Spencer Rattler for 26-year-old rookie Tyler Shough after disastrous start to season

The Saints have had enough of the Spencer Rattler experience.

Not really his fault. You don’t go 1-7 just because the quarterback is bad. But it’s the biggest change you can make to try to spark something.

I don't follow NFL anymore so just going off the headline. I hope Rattler succeeds.

Benching Rattler won't help the Saints win. They have many other problems.

They felt like they needed to see if Slough is a possibility going forward or do they draft a qb this off season.

I saw the pick 6 he threw from his own goal line and knew he'd get benched.

Saints fans have largely been pleased with Rattler this season. He's made some great throws. He just has no pieces around him. Saw a breakdown of their draft picks and they didn't do anything to put pieces around whoever their QB was going to be.

I bet he'd do great anywhere that had a decent offensive line. He unfortunately drew the short straw ending up with the Saints.

He`s not responsible for The Aints. Hope for the best for Spencer.

And they still got drilled today.

Almost like Rattler wasn't the problem.

Rattler may be back on the field sooner rather than later.

Rattler will always be an Oklahoma QB.

Nope

Rattler has a worse oline than he had here….let that sink in

Not sure what that means. He's identified himself as a Gamecock. If he doesn't consider himself an OU QB, why would we?

The Saints will probably draft a QB this year and look to trade Rattler, which would be in his best interest. I think there will be good interest in him. He put together some pretty good tape this season, even though the team was losing. If he had a stronger supporting cast, I think he'd be just fine as an NFL QB, but we'll see. The Saints did nothing in the last draft to put pieces around the QB.
