And that's exactly why the Saints won't be taking a QB in the 1st. Shough is not bad. Not sure what some of you were watching when saying he was awful.

If saints are #1 they are taking Mendoza. Shough is a 26 year old rookie with limited upside

It doesn’t matter. Anyone ahead of us is liable to trade out of that spot to a team that grabs a QB. We just have to make the best of the picks we have.

He was a 2nd round pick. 26 is not old for a QB. They will build around him if he shows promise the rest of the year. There are people that think Mendoza isn't ready and should stay in school. Let's hope the Saints are one of them.

Assuming Spytek stays and If Mendoza is our guy then Spytek needs to figure out a way to get him if we are out of position to draft him. There is always a way.

In my scenario, it does not matter since it is a toss away season and we can afford the contract and still do whatever we want in free agency.

I pray Geno is not on this team next year. I’d rather see AO12. Hopefully it’s Mendoza and he gets the early go to take his lumps and learn

They could( and should) always trade Crosby in the offseason to get the needed capital to compete with the Jets

If we lose out, we have the #1 pick (as long as the Titans SOS is higher than ours.
