Saints quarterback showed franchise-quarterback potential in his rookie campaign and has largely built on that success this season; however, he has not been perfect enough to consistently carry an offense that has struggled to move the ball on the ground. In Week 7's loss to Pittsburgh, Shough made a couple of big red-zone mistakes that cost the Saints in a tight contest, indicating inconsistency in high-leverage situations.

Shough is one of only two quarterbacks in the league with more turnovers than Turnover Worthy Plays. He needed his three lost fumbles to cross the 1:1 rubicon, indicating he's running cold on turnover luck and due for regression.

Shough is playing good football—good enough to win for the New Orleans Saints; however, the Saints' running game is identified as pathetic, with only 17 rushes for 18 yards on Sunday, limiting the offense's overall effectiveness.

Saints QB Tyler Shough is not making his own checks at the line of scrimmage; head coach Kellen Moore is relaying them instead. This limitation was exploited by the Steelers defense, which stayed static until under 15 seconds remaining when playcallers can no longer communicate with the QB, suggesting Shough lacks autonomy in the offense and may be struggling with pre-snap reads or decision-making.

Tyler Shough has taken a step forward for the Saints, though Brandon Staley's defense has struggled immensely to complement their improving passing attack. Shough's growth will probably buy offensive coordinator Kellen Moore at least another season in charge of the Saints.

The source notes that coaching changes are coming to New Orleans, which could improve the offense and elevate Shough's already strong performance. (Note: New Orleans is on bye in Week 8.)

Shough has proven to be an above-average quarterback with enough ceiling to build around; he's been atop the league in yards and touchdowns, though interceptions have been an issue, and considering where he was drafted, this can be classified as nothing short of a success story despite the team's disappointing start.

Shough received a B- grade and has proven to be an above-average quarterback with enough ceiling to build around, despite the Saints' disappointing 2-5 start and owner Gayle Benson putting heat on the second-year coaching staff. He's been atop the league in yards and touchdowns, though interceptions have been an issue. Considering where he was drafted, this is a success story, but things haven't clicked in Year 2 as expected.

Shough is the Saints' starting quarterback facing significant pressure due to the team's inability to establish an effective ground game. With only 18 total rushing yards in Week 8 against Pittsburgh, the passing game is forced to carry the load, making it increasingly difficult to keep defenses honest and take pressure off the quarterback.

Shough diced up the Steelers' defense on his way to 278 passing yards, with an average of 7.3 yards per completion. He was able to move the ball consistently through underneath throws and short passes, with four separate Saints receivers totaling at least 50 yards. However, he lacked explosive plays and the Saints were limited to just two scores, one of which was a touchdown. Shough completed a 14-yard pass to Chris Olave to open the Saints' final drive but two incompletions set up a 3rd-and-10 that resulted in an interception.
