In a stunning turn of events, former New Orleans Saints legend Drew Brees has publicly endorsed offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, urging him to name Spencer Rattler as the team’s new quarterback. The approval came after Derek Carr’s unexpected trade request, throwing the Saints’ quarterback situation into turmoil ahead of the new season.
Brees, who spent 15 seasons as the franchise’s cornerstone quarterback, expressed confidence in Moore’s leadership and decision-making in an exclusive interview. He emphasized that Moore’s innovative offensive schemes could be just the thing to guide the Saints into a new era of success, with Rattler, the former Oklahoma standout, being the perfect fit for Moore’s system.
“Spencer has all the tools – a strong arm, mobility, and the mentality to thrive in the NFL,” Brees said. “He’s shown great promise, and with Kellen’s offense, I believe he could truly flourish. It’s a fresh start for the Saints, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need.”
Rattler, who transferred to South Carolina, has shown flashes of brilliance but has yet to fully capitalize on his potential. His mix of skills and high upside has caught the attention of many across the league, including Moore, who previously worked with quarterbacks like Dak Prescott in Dallas. The pairing of Moore’s coaching and Rattler’s abilities could signal a new chapter in the Saints’ post-Carr era.
While official discussions are still ongoing, Brees’ support of the move could prove pivotal in shaping the future of the Saints’ offense. The trade request from Carr has certainly stirred the pot, but it may also set the stage for a dynamic shift in New Orleans with Rattler at the helm.
