Tyler Shough can’t afford for Kellen Moore’s latest move to be wrong

Darrion Gray writes that New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough and head coach Kellen Moore urgently need the firing of run game coordinator T.J. Paganetti to improve the offense. Following the bye week, the Saints made the dismissal to help their struggling ground game, with former offensive lineman James Hurst suggesting Paganetti may serve as a fall guy for broader system struggles under Moore's play-calling.

The writer argues that the team's one-dimensional offensive approach places an unsustainable physical burden on Shough, who has attempted 39 passes per game despite broken bones in his left hand and an injury to his throwing hand. Gray asserts that without an effective rushing attack, the Saints risk jeopardizing the young quarterback's long-term health and development.
