Shough's late-season success came against weak defenses; tougher 2026 schedule and injury concerns limit breakout potent

Despite JJ Zachariason consensus on Shough as a true breakout candidate for 2026, JJ Zachariason is skeptical. Shough's 5-4 record and late-season success (post-Week 11 bye) came against horrific defenses, and New Orleans faces a tougher schedule in 2026. Key concerns include: Jordyn Tyson sidelined with a hamstring injury expected to cost multiple months; Chris Olave one concussion away from potential career-altering injury; and a league-average offensive line at best. While offseason acquisitions like Travis Etienne Jr. and draft picks (Oscar Delp, Bryce Lance) were meant to bolster the offense, if Etienne and Alvin Kamara dominate rushing duties, Shough's passing statistics suffer. Across 11 games last season, he threw multiple touchdowns just twice, suggesting limited upside.
