Saints QB Room Is NOT a Problem in 2026

This is a subtitle for your new post

Going into last year, the Saints found themselves with many questions, but the biggest question of them all was at the most important position in sports: quarterback.

What a difference a year can make.

The quarterback room is now one of the strongest position groups on the entire roster. With the emergence of second-year QB Tyler Shough throughout the final nine games of the season, the Saints found a quarterback who deserves to be viewed as the guy moving forward.

His emergence also helped solidify the backup role.

Spencer Rattler entered the season as a player who had a legitimate chance to be the starter. He held that role throughout training camp and the first eight games of the season. He also started multiple games during his rookie year. That experience is valuable, especially for a player who is still developing under a second-year, offensive-minded head coach.

The Saints also went out and added a true veteran in Zach Wilson. Wilson is an intriguing addition to the roster and brings value beyond what he can provide on the field. He understands what it means to live up to high expectations, having been a former top-five pick in the NFL Draft. He knows what media pressure feels like after playing for the New York Jets, and he has experience in big games. After several years in the league, he can help two young quarterbacks prepare properly for game days and navigate the challenges that come with being an NFL quarterback.

Tyler Shough has the success of this team on his shoulders, but he appears poised to handle that responsibility. He has fully embraced the community and is becoming a vocal leader within the locker room. He has flashed all of the physical traits you want to see from a franchise quarterback and has done so despite working with a receiver room that often left much to be desired.

The Saints' quarterback room is well constructed and has a healthy blend of youth, experience, and upside. It is a group that should impress throughout the 2026 season.


A quick share helps us a lot!

Tulane Green Wave Recruiting  Tulane Green Wave Football is hosting official visits for Class of 2027 recruits this weekend (June 5-7) (June 12-14) (June 19-21) (June 26-28) Under head coach Will Hall, the program is aggressively building its 2027 class following a strong start that already includes six commitments. Official visits represent a key phase for rising high school juniors (Class of 2027). Prospects can evaluate campus life, coaching staff, facilities, academics, and team culture in a more structured setting. Tulane’s unique location in New Orleans adds a major draw, world-class academics, vibrant culture, food, and entertainment combined with competitive football at Yulman Stadium in the American Athletic Conference. Current Momentum in the 2027 Class As of early June 2026, Tulane has grown its 2027 class significantly. The Green Wave have secured around six commitments, a solid foundation for the program competing against Power conference schools and other AAC programs. Notable early pledges include QB Kingston Johnson, OL Sharontae Bailey, Owen Reineck, DB TJ Stinson, Devin Lavalais and De’Shawn Wylie. These commitments reflect Tulane’s ability to close on in-region and out-of-region talent. Official Visits This Weekend and in June Recruiting services like On3, Rivals, and their X account list official visits scheduled for early June at Tulane and beyond. They’re also hosting a wave of athletes in a range of recruiting classes for their official Camp, June 3, 7, 10, and 17. These camps will give recruits a chance for hands on Tulane coaching and maybe even a scholarship. Past camps; Bandit Warren Roberts Jr and RB Jake Randle attended camp and received a full ride and are currently on the team. Rashad Bobo a LB also received one as well and just committed to Western Kentucky. Back to Official Visits Tulane’s staff continues to pursue a balanced class with emphasis on skill positions, trenches, and athleticism. These visits typically feature stadium tours, position meetings, academic sessions, interactions with current players, and exposure to New Orleans. For many prospects, the combination of on-field development under Will Hall’s staff and the off-field experience proves very compelling. Will Hall’s Vision and Program Appeal Will Hall, promoted to head coach in December 2025 after prior roles at Tulane (including passing game coordinator/wide receivers coach) and head coaching experience at Southern Miss, brings continuity and deep local knowledge. He has emphasized Tulane as “a football school” with top-tier academics and a passionate fanbase that. The program benefits from recent on-field success, transfer portal activity that bolstered the 2026 roster, and a reputation for developing talent. Hosting official visits in June allows the staff to build personal relationships and showcase the vision for sustained AAC contention and beyond. Why This Matters for Tulane Fans and Recruits Early momentum in the 2027 class positions Tulane well for future roster building. Summer official visits often accelerate decisions, and Tulane’s staff has shown it can compete for and land talent across the Southeast and beyond. The New Orleans setting differentiates the Green Wave from many peers, recruits get a preview of college life in one of America’s most exciting cities while receiving a quality education and playing in a pro-style environment. As the weekend approaches, expect updates from the program, analysts, myself, Tulane fan content on x, and prospects themselves on social media. These visits are a critical step in what promises to be an active summer on the recruiting trail for the Green Wave. Tulane fans should stay tuned, the Wave is rolling in the 2027 cycle, and this weekend marks another important chapter.
