The undesirable but most likely reality.

This is true but you want the one that has the most proven track record, not the 6th option.

But yea, you’re right when you say you don’t know. It’s like the draft.
IIRC, when Payton left all the HC candidates were 6th choice caliber or lower, and the FA quarterbacks available were barely above backup caliber.

We need to play Haener at least 2 games and see what we have, and if he's not a lot better than Rattler, we may as well start dismantling the team right after the season.
