Saints news: Is Tyler Shough a franchise QB? 1 NFL analyst thinks so

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has been impressing analysts with his stellar performance this season. On Sunday, the Saints secured their first win of the year with a thrilling comeback victory over the Baltimore Ravens on the road. This win is the second straight week that the Saints have fought back from an early deficit to secure a victory, this time aided by Shough’s late touchdown.

Shough’s impressive performance on the field, throwing for 252 yards and a touchdown on 27-34 passing, has caught the eye of prominent analyst Pete Prisco of CBS Sports. Speaking to NFL on CBS on X (formerly Twitter), Prisco stated, “If you’re the New Orleans Saints, you have to feel really good about where you are with Tyler Shough … I don’t think we’ve seen the best of him yet.”

Shough showcased his skill once again in the previous week, dismantling the Detroit Lions and narrowly missing a comeback win in overtime. With Saints fans thrilled by Shough’s performance, there are high hopes that this hot stretch of play is not a fluke. As the Saints play in the NFC South, they have a realistic chance to make a playoff push this year, even if their record is not stellar.

The team’s impressive performances against two teams expected to be elite this year, including the Ravens, have only added to the optimism surrounding the upcoming season.
