Spencer Rattler named starting QB ; Jay Glazer reports Rattler expected to start next 3-4 games (month) until Carr’s return

I agree that Rattler offers more and should be starting in Carr's absence. I have one major complaint. If he is not the best QB to start why wasn't he the best QB to be the primary backup? He didn't jump leaps in bounds in 2 days of practice but now he's a better option than Haener? He wasn't a better option this past Sunday or the games before that? I question a lot of things this coaching staff does, Allen especially, and this is just one more thing to add to that list.

What's the role of a backup QB, besides just being ready to come in and play if Carr is injured? This isn't the first time the Saints have had an in-game backup QB and a longer-term backup QB. The backup QB also helps Carr. It's not a stretch to think that Haener would be better at that than a rookie.
