Haener film looks better than Young. (3 Viewers)

I believe the anecdote that Ireland used was that they felt if Haener was in Alabama's system he would have had success. It wasn't a direct comparison between the two, the just felt like his abilities could have translated to major production in that system.

I word that patch. 2/19th Field Artillery Ft Carson Colorado.

Not of fan of Haener’s arm strength. Looks weaker than peak Brees.

Not according to Mike Detillier. He said that Hafner looks polished. But he is is small like Drew was.

I didn't say he wasn't polished. I said his arm looks weak.

Guessing you meant post-peak Brees? Definitely there's flutter in the deep pass, according to scouting reports, so if that's the yardmark you're going by, you'll always find him wanting

"Weaker than peak-Brees" is probably another way of saying "equal to post-peak Brees," but maybe a bit less confusing.

And yes, if my assessment is correct, if we ever have to depend on him as our starting QB, I'll always find him wanting.

I just thought 'peak Brees' arm was pretty fine, so less than that not so terribly bad. But it's your yardmark, so I'll stay out of it.

To be more clear, I'm thinking more like 2020 Brees.

That's the post-peak Brees arm I was thinking of.

 

[oodank]

well, it doesn't sound like Snake Jake's arm strength is an issue peak or post according to the reports coming out of camp.

Can you point me to those reports that break down his arm strength? Or are you just referring to comments about Haener going "6-for-6" and Haener being "Camp MVP" so far, etc?

I don't think his arm will be a liability. It is for Book.

Scouting reports for Haener are mixed but the consensus seems to be average arm strength. I haven't read a single concern about it since camp opened but we will know soon enough. It was evident in the first preseason game that Book played in that he probably doesn't have enough arm talent for the NFL.

I'm not basing my opinion on scouting reports. Just trusting my eyes. I think his ceiling is a high-capacity 2nd string QB. Which, for a 4th round pick, is about what you'd hope for.

I'm not trying to convince you otherwise, just stating my opinion which differs from yours. If he turns into a quality backup, that's great, but I don't know that his arm sets his ceiling there.
