STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Shough's second-half efficiency (81 QBR, 2.55 time to throw) vastly outpaces first-half struggles.

Shough has shown a stark split between first and second halves through two weeks: first half QBR of 15 (29th league-wide), negative 0.1 EPA per dropback (27th), and 33% success rate (28th); second half QBR of 81 (5th league-wide), 13th EPA per dropback, and 12th success rate. The improvement is not situational (not playing from behind), but rather driven by faster decision-making (2.55 time to throw, second fastest in football in second halves) and better performance when kept clean. Mina Kimes notes that if the Saints can replicate second-half efficiency consistently, the offense becomes credible.
