Haener starts vs Commanders: 1 INT, 5 punts ; Rattler replaced Haener in 2H: led to 19 points (5 Viewers)

[Saints 4 life]

Rattler should be the starter, but then again, Saints need the best draft pick we can get So...

 

[joefromla]

It's settled. Rattler for the rest of the season. Then? We'll see.

 

[DeuceMcAllisterFan]

I was more disappointed in Haener since this is year 2 for him. He shouldn't have looked that bad at this stage.

 

[Saint Jack]

I wanna know what practices they were watching.

Do you mean from the QB position? Because he talent around them needs to be improved.

I do mean from the QB position.

You can argue that all talent across the board can be improved, but after a while you are what your record is as a QB. I'm not here to play the 'but it's the OL/WR/TE/FB/OC that's the problem' game.

None of the current Saints QBs are producing consistently, all we've seen are fits and starts, until that changes we have inadequate QB play.

I've seen all I need to from Haener except more from his mom. Roll with Rattler moving forward.

 

[LonghornSaintsFan]

I aint going to lie I might have actually played better than Haener today.

Some players play better in games than they do in practices and vice versa.

 

[Saint Jack]

Finish the season with Rattler and start him in 25.

All three QBs are under contact, you lose nothing by bringing them all back, unless you acquire a better option in the time between now and training camp.

But this team needs to be actively seeking better options, like any team to be fair, because we're not seeing consistent production from anyone currently on the roster. Hopefully that changes soon, whether it's with these players or others.

I agree we need to keep brining in young QBs until we find The One and nobody on the roster has yet shown to be it. But, I will say I saw pretty good improvement from Rattler compared to when he last played. He looked like a deer in headlights when teams blitzed him in his 3 starts, but looked much calmer against the blitz in this game. Still has a long way to go and may not get there, but he does flash plays that look like what you see from good NFL QBs.

 

[BELOWSEALEVEL]

Ratt should be the starter.

No argument here

I get all that, but we need to see more than flash. So far this season, any sign of 'flash' at QB has swiftly been followed by 'flop'.

Sure. But that's generally what you get from rookie QBs. Rattler clearly is not ready to be an NFL starter, but he has shown flashes so he is worth keeping around to develop. Maybe with another offseason and training camp he will be ready to be an NFL starter. Or maybe he won't be. So like I said they need to keep brining in young QBs until they find The One. All I think we know now is that Haner is not going to be that guy and Rattler isn't far enough along to justify not adding another young QB to develop.

 

[Vision]

All I know is that regardless of how Haener performs, the Rattler supporter’s will have their mental gymnastics to say he is the future and so will the Haener supporters… the two opposing sides are entrenched against one another.

Not no more.

 

[Merl]

Finish the season with Rattler and start him in 25.

Carr is starting next year
