Saints' Tyler Shough Already Better Than Derek Carr In One Way

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough is already doing something Derek Carr never did.

It’s important to note that what Shough does on the football field is ultimately what matters regarding his standing with Saints fans, but it certainly doesn’t hurt that Shough has been ingratiating himself with New Orleans culture this offseason.

Shough’s willingness to dive into the New Orleans cultural scene and, in general, be open to fans in a relatable way is something that Carr for some reason never leaned into.

Again, doing so isn’t required, nor was it written into Carr’s contract that he must interact with the New Orleans community.

These guys are paid to win football games at the end of the day. But it’s still interesting to see how Shough has approached his time in New Orleans thus far as he prepares to (quarterback competition pending) succeed Carr as the Saints’ starter.
