Spencer Rattler or Tyler Shough? With decisions made in Cleveland and Indianapolis, the New Orleans Saints are the last team to name their starting QB
As New Orleans continues to trudge through their quarterback competition, Kellen Moore told Kay Adams last week that he was "close" to naming a starter ahead of preseason game No. 2. It doesn't sound like the first-year head coach saw enough on film, however, to make his decision.

Just how long is Kellen Moore going to wait to name his starting quarterback? He joked that the process may run up to Week 1's kickoff game:
Rattler and the Saints took over at their own 18-yard line trailing 17-9 with 2:39 remaining. After the 2-minute warning, Rattler made a key fourth down conversion by hitting Mason Tipton to move the chains, then hit Tipton again for 26 yards later in the drive to put the Saints in scoring position.
Spencer Rattler now has some late-game highlights on his preseason resume as he competes with rookie Tyler Shough to become the New Orleans Saints' starting quarterback.
"They’re ballers," Rattler said of the Saints rookie class shortly after the game. "I mean, they’re dependable. They’re reliable. They know their stuff and Jonas has had a great camp and obviously made plays throughout the preseason and made a great pick. I thought there was a second left, but he made a hell of a play."
The New Orleans Saints scored 14 second-half points to rally for a 17-17 tie against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in the second preseason game for each team.
