""We're not getting into this QB debate throughout this season," Moore said in August. "Spencer is our starting quarterback. Tyler's going to keep developing. You need a couple quarterbacks in-season. It's a long NFL season, and so I think we do value that we have depth there and want to navigate the rest of it as we go, but we're really excited about Spence. He's going to do an awesome job for us.""
""I've learned a lot. Spencer's done some really, really good things. Being able to see that growth, grow myself, I've been getting, if not the most reps in practice from a scout-team perspective," Shough said. "... I felt each week I've been continuing to grow and felt really, really ready to go. And yeah, it's been good, but I got to continue to grow, so that's got to be the answer.""
Kellen Moore initially named Spencer Rattler the Saints' starting quarterback before the 2025 regular season while emphasizing roster depth and Tyler Shough's continued development. The Saints made a midseason change, naming Tyler Shough the starter for Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams. Shough has not prepared with the first-team offense since preseason but has run scout-team reps and reports steady improvement. The team entered the decision after a 23-3 loss to Tampa Bay, holding a 1-7 record and low offensive rankings. Moore noted reluctance to flip-flop quarterbacks but moved to address performance issues.
