From the article

Shough is, in the words of former scout Nate Tice, 'Very Tua-coded' as a passer. Shough takes care of the ball, but he's also prone to throw the ball away as a first resort. He's below league-average in interception rate, he's also below league average in yards per attempt and touchdown rate. He also currently has the 10th-fastest time to throw of all quarterbacks, as he would rather get the ball out or throw it away than extend the play or hold the ball for a deep pass.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Saints QB below-average arm talent; throws away as first resort when pressured.

Saints starting QB; generally efficient and faithful to offensive structure with live arm accessing all field areas; however, 'very Tua-coded' passer per former scout Nate Tice—takes care of ball but prone to throw away as first resort; below league-average in interception rate, yards per attempt, and touchdown rate; 10th-fastest time to throw, preferring to get ball out rather than extend plays; Vikings' pressure and difficult coverage reads exploited his tendency to throw away rather than risk going backward or turning ball over; Giants' athleticism and aggression on defense can replicate Vikings' blueprint to disrupt Saints' offense.
