Jake Haener
The reason for this forum is to discuss respectfully our opinions, which on occasion may be different. I did not think Haener's performance was above average. I thought he looked like a small, middle-round, first-year quarterback.
I also think it unfair to judge his potential on the second half of the first exhibition game. But one of his camp admirers, Underhill, has already commented that he was surprisingly disappointed with his performance.
And regarding arm strength, l thought it borderline based on what I saw today. I know Strief at one point was praising his arm strength. But I do not put Strief and certainly not Brees in Deuce's category regarding candid evaluation. If you tell me that Deuce on his radio broadcast was praising Haener's arm strength, then I need to reconsider.
