And sometimes there is a hierarchy

And? Not seeing a point here.

I think I’ve seen and can remember most Saints QBs in their history. At least going back to the mid-seventies.

I can’t recall a QB who looked as bad as Haener. It wasn’t just the lack of pocket awareness it was the sense of the game being way faster than he could possibly process. That and a palpable nervousness that could be felt just watching him.

Ian Book? Danny Weurfel? John Fourcade when he came back to earth? It’s impossible to overstate to how poorly he played and the fact that Rizzi pulled him at the half - knowing full well the confidence shattering implications of that - speaks to someone who had no business being on a football field.

Great guy. Took some hilarious promotional photos. But not an NFL QB.

Rattler cant compete with the Zoolander pics, but he does have a better arm

No way Haener should of been given the start if not for him being listed as he #2 QB.

Well, this article didn’t age well.

Jake Haener could be the first QB Saints have drafted to win a game since 1998

If the New Orleans Saints were to win Sunday's matchup with the Washington Commanders, sophomore quarterback Jake Haener would do something that hasn't been done in over 25 years. Haener could become the first quarterback drafted by the Saints to win a game since all…

Hard to even imagine that Danny Wuerffel was the last drafted Saints QB to actually win a football game for our team. Over 25 years!

He apparently practiced well enough to earn the #2 spot. So that's the call the coaches made. Rattler was far and away the better QB on the field today, so the choice is now pretty easy.

What in the world did the coaches see at practice to make them start Jake Haener today??? That was a very poor judgement call by Rizzi and our OC, because he was awful today and was awful all pre season. He is OUT OF PLACE for this level of football.

Were they listening to SaintsReport or something to make this poor decision, to “see what we have in him”. Well that poor decision may have cost Rizzi the opportunity to keep the job, because we lost.

Rattler is a rookie, but he shows A LOT of promise with an NFL level arm (especially with a little more line protection). Give Rattler 2 years to develop and we will have a legit starting QB that can compete in this league.

It now may be some other coach developing Rattler.

Jake is a practice squad QB so he looks good in practice. Spencer has stuff you don’t see in practice, and needs game reps to gain consistency doing those things. Spencer can be the future at QB for us. The only question is will this team “Taysom Hill” him… Or give him a real opportunity and the tools to prove it?

 

[pierce2poydras]

now we get to see a full game of him

Ron Howard voiceover:

“They would not get to see a full game of him”

Well up till today Rattler wasn't playing well and was benched before. Decision was made based on what they saw in practice. Give Rizzi for doing what was needed after halftime.

I've said before that what I've seen from Haener has been underwhelming at best.

It's like he has no anticipation at all. His pocket awareness if awful and his pocket presence is non existent.

He just plain stunk up the building today!!

 

[longtime lurker]

Rattler here on out….so says the Rizz!?!?!

 

[WhoDat?DrewDat]

We literally watched Haener come in the same games Spencer played in and called out those reads in front of our eyes so... again, we already know that Haener is more prepared to start than Spencer is. There is no skew.

That's why i think it was wrong to start SR in place of JH to begin with. All that SR has over JH is arm strength, that's IT. JH is more accurate has better anticipation and decision-making

 

[DSnfla]

Maybe you should listen to what Rizzi said in his presser about the penalties and dropped passes that happened when JH was @ QB
