As the New Orleans Saints officially named Spencer Rattler their starting quarterback for the upcoming season, a wave of skepticism surfaced among fans. Many questioned the decision, suggesting that it reflects poorly on the organization’s direction.
Fans took to social media to express their frustrations, with some labeling the Saints as “not a serious organization.” This sentiment stems from Rattler’s previous stint , where he failed to secure a win as a starter. Critics argue that promoting a quarterback with such a rocky track record demonstrates a lack of foresight and planning within the franchise.

The Saints’ choice to elevate Rattler also impacts the quarterback room, particularly for Tyler Shough, who was seen as a potential competitor for the starting role. With Rattler now at the helm, Shough’s opportunities may be limited, leading to questions about his future with the team. Fans worry that this decision could stifle the development of younger talent and hinder the team’s chances of success.
Despite the backlash, the Saints’ coaching staff has expressed confidence in Rattler’s abilities. They point to his strong preseason performance and his potential to thrive under pressure. However, this optimism is met with skepticism from the fan base, who have witnessed the team’s struggles in recent seasons.
