Rattler has to start!
Whoever starts at QB, there are going to be a lot of "I told you so" posts after the Carolina game. But, the fact is, we are going to see a game between 2 bad teams.
When the Saints made the switch to Haener against SD, I posted this on the gameday thread:
So now, the Chargers are going to give the Saints the middle of the field, the Saints will connect on a couple passes, maybe even *gasp* score a TD as time expires and they lose the game, and some will feel validated that Haener moves the ball better.
Then what happened? Then Haener connected on a couple of passes, couple of big plays on the legs of Kamara and Taysom, ... then Haener got sacked, threw a couple wounded ducks, an INT... and receivers dropped balls for Haener just as good as they did for Rattler. And remember, Carr didn't fare any better after the Cowboys game.
Start Haener against the Panthers? Sure, why not. I am not going to get into who's better between Rattler and Haener, but I am definitely not going to reach any conclusion or make any proclamation based on a game against the Panthers.
