The final quarterback battle of the 2025 season was between Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough. The two passers dueled for the starter job with the New Orleans Saints, and Rattler, a fifth-round pick in 2024, won the competition.Rattler started six games during his rookie season when Derek Carr was unavailable and is confident about leading the offense in 2025."I feel very comfortable coming into this year," he said on SiriusXM NFL Radio. "Having everybody back healthy, everybody's looking great, it's a different vibe out there, things are looking good with this offense. I think it's good for us, coming into this year, feeling comfortable, knowing what to expect and what it takes to be that guy. I feel very good right now and I just wanna keep building."Derek Carr's retirement posed a lot of problems for new Saints coach Kellen Moore. A Super Bowl champion with the Eagles in the previous season, Moore joined the Saints with the expectation of having a veteran quarterback on the roster, but he will have to quickly adjust with Rattler.Kellen Moore explains why he chose Spencer Rattler to lead Saints offenseThe second-year quarterback has been admired by the franchise since the 2024 draft. It's clear that the Saints have a lot of faith in Rattler, even though his numbers have been disappointing when he's on the field. Still, new head coach Moore explained in Tuesday's press conference why he made the choice:"Spencer's our starting quarterback. Really, really excited for him. He's done an awesome job this offseason. He's just been consistent. He's made some really good decisions throughout this process. And his ability to make plays with his arm and his feet has certainly showed up. ... He's earned this opportunity. He's going to do a tremendous job for us."Rattler was 0-6 as a starter last season. He threw for 1,317 yards, with four touchdowns and five interceptions. Shough, on the other hand, was the 40th pick of the 2025 draft.
