It is not Shough vs Rattler, its current QBs on the roster vs QBs in the draft.


This season was every bit Rattler vs Shough. One of these guys will not be on this team next season and the fact that they gave Rattler so much time under center makes me thing they don't want any questions about not giving him a fair shot.

You Rattler/Shough people are unhinged.


I don’t know what this is even suppose to mean. I’m not a fan of either.

That quarter in a half will be the easiest moments of the season for him.


I’m not sure if you actually even believe this. There has never been a qb in the history of the NFL that ever thought that their first snaps of live NFL games was the easiest snaps of the year for them.

Wasn’t necessarily talking about you, but it applies to a lot of people on here.

I’m going off actual tape and things that happened in that specific game. You are just giving a hypothetical scenario.

Taking recent drafts into account (2025 - 2014), the odds of Shough being anything but a backup are low. Here are all the QBs that were drafted outside of the 1st round, but within the first 75 picks. Derek Carr is the absolute creme of the crop of that group.

Cool, because Shough has a higher ceiling than Carr

Don’t know who will be on the roster next year but I do know Tyler and Ratt are the best odds lol

Rattler had his chance and he's clearly not going to be more than a career backup. Which ain't nothing FWIW. Kid has earned at least five to ten years of making a few million bucks a season. Good for him.

The biggest detriment IMO is his (lack of) size and athleticism. It keeps his ceiling VERY low. The absolute ceiling for Rattler would be a poor man's Baker Mayfield. But Baker is low key a VERY good athlete.

Shough has a higher ceiling and it's beyond time to find out if he's got the stuff to be a starter, or if we'll be looking at QB's again in the winter / spring.

Really? I think JimmyG had a better career than Derek fast lane Carr. Didn’t he even win a playoff game?

Edit: shite he won 5 playoff games

If Jimmy G hits this one pass, he beats Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl and his entire career unfolds very differently.

One of the most underrated "Sliding Doors" moments in recent sports history.

They’re not keeping both is these guys.
My guess is they bring in a vet and let Shough earn the job next season. Rattler will given the opportunity to play the part of Jake Heaner in 2026

That seems a lot of Dallas the tv show. Maybe best man plays until someone better comes along.
