"Drafting him over Shedeur Sanders was felonious offense": NFL fans rip Tyler Shough after Saints QB’s disappointing outing in 34-10 loss to Rams

The New Orleans Saints named rookie Tyler Shough as the QB1 after a disastrous 1-7 start to the season under Spencer Rattler. However, things have not improved for Kellen Moore and his team.

Following last week's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Shough had another disappointing performance on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. The Saints suffered a humiliating 34-10 loss. The rookie quarterback completed 15 of 24 passes for 176 yards, one passing touchdown, and one interception.

After the game, fans on social media heavily criticized Shough's performance while drafting him with the 40th overall pick in this year's NFL draft.

Tyler Shough shares his thoughts on disappointing loss to the Rams

In the post-game press conference, the rookie quarterback praised his team for giving it their best on Sunday against the Rams. Shough also highlighted how the offense didn't get many opportunities on the field and couldn't take advantage of the ones that came.

"Just proud of the way we kind of fought throughout the whole game," Shough said. "We didn't get a lot of opportunities and when we had them, we didn't take advantage of them to the best of our ability. "We'll kind of learn from it. We'll keep getting better and well, you know, we'll get back to it."

The Saints are next scheduled to face the Carolina Panthers on Sunday (Nov.9) at 1 p.m. ET. Will Kellen Moore decide to stay with Shough or bring back Spencer Rattler as the starting quarterback in Week 10?
