Article Per PFT: Saints switch Taysom to QB on roster designation. (2 Viewers)

The way I look at it is Haener probably isn't working out. Carr -> Winston -> Hill -> Haener unless they plan to cut Haener or move him to PS.
He's looking like a wasted draft pick. Nothing I hate more than spending a pick on a QB, when you have your guy.

At most he is going to be your backup. You sign back up QBs not draft them.

Yes I'm aware of Dak and Kirk, but 100s of others did not work.

Have some patience. He's young and inexperienced, but flashed during camp and preseason games. Rookie QB's usually don't light the league on fire. Give him a chance to develop. He's got juice; how far he goes as a player largely depends upon working on mechanics to improve his accuracy.
 
Other than Taysom being switched to QBs, this is pure speculation on Florio's part.

I find it easier to do what they have always done. Carry Taysom on special teams, DC QB1 Jamies QB2, leaving us max flexibility.
 
Guessing this means he’d be the #2?

A snippet from the article:
Under that approach, Derek Carr would serve as QB1, Hill would fill the role of QB2, and Jameis Winston or rookie fourth-rounder Jake Haener would be the emergency third quarterback. The third quarterback could play only if both Carr and Hill were both unavailable due to injury or ejection.
We’re down a RB, or likely to be down one. He will be a factor in the running and #’s game from the QB position
 
I’m assuming it’s an unpopular opinion based on what I’ve read in here so far, but having Winston active as the #2 is easily more valuable to the team than whoever the 48th player would be if we made Hill the #2 instead. How many meaningful snaps, if any, will that player be a part of?
 
I have enough faith that Hill can play qb at a sufficient level for the remainder of a game if Carr gets hurt. However with Saints history of exploiting loopholes, it wouldn’t surprise me if Hill takes one snap after Carr gets hurt and scrambles or runs a read option. He then “sprains” his ankle on that play and limps to the sideline and Winston takes over.
 
It's about taking advantage of roster flexibility. If Carr goes down for any extended time Winston or Haener would be the #1 but Hill will remain the #2 for roster flexibility.

How are people confused with an concept clearly explained in the source article??
Brah, Haener will not be QB1 unless both Carr and Winston and injured.
