Haener
Since quite a few things have to happen for us to make playoffs, should we give Haener some game reps?

Re: Haener
100%.
Carr has shown us what he is. So has Jameis. We aren't making the playoffs, give Haener some meaningful reps and see what the kid can do. |

Re: Haener
We could/should but all this team and coaching staff can think about is their Carr. Even in the games where he's had a flat tire and his alignment has his back bumper dragging on the ground, they've insisting on driving him.
I bet they hardly let Haener touch a surface tablet. |

Re: Haener
I don't see us wasting an active roster spot while we are still alive. Besides, it really doesn't take much for us to make it to the playoffs. Just two things. We win our last two and Carolina, with nothing to lose having already traded away their2024 #1 pick and playing at home, beating the Bucs who just lost the week before.
That simple. We can let Haener compete with the QB we draft in the upcoming draft. |

Re: Haener
We are probably better off going oline in the draft and not exposing a rookie QB to a porous oline and inept coach. Especially with Ram deteriorating and depending on Peat's health at LT.
I do think there could be some value to putting in Haener if we fall way behind or next week, as a form of psychological warfare with Derek Carr. If Carr was to retire, step away from the game, act out, or demand a trade where we could get another team to agree to take even 1/3 of his salary or possible more for extra players/picks, it would be highly in our interests. So, it might be a smart move for us to make Carr unhappy by benching him. If he is happy, we have to pay him $30 million next year. |

Re: Haener
Just as I figured. Haener is inactive, as he should be. Who you going to make inactive instead?
