Tyler Shough

Saints GM Mickey Loomis confirmed the team will have a quarterback competition following the selection of Tyler Shough in the second round.

Loomis’ words came the same presser he later claimed Derek Carr (shoulder) remains the starter if healthy. If Carr is conveniently deemed unhealthy, that would leave only Shough and Spencer Rattler, which would be a fight rigged in Shough’s favor. His only real concern is the team and Carr patching up their differences, but that does not seem terribly likely at the moment. 25-year-old second-rounder Shough probably has better than 50 percent odds of being under center Week 1.
