If Carr is unable to play, it leaves Shough, 2024 fifth-round pick Spencer Rattler and 2023 fourth-round pick Jake Haener as the Saints' quarterback options. Rattler went 0-6 as a starter last season, throwing four touchdowns and five interceptions, while Haener lost his only start.

When Archie Manning is talking about quarterbacks, a lot of people stop and listen. The Saints legend offered a strong endorsement for Tyler Shough.
