Haener

subguy · 12-31-2023, 09:51 AM

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

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.

Haener won’t see the field at all in 2023 boss.

Y’all forgot who the substitute teacher is in New Orleans.

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.

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.

They can't roster him as long as they are still alive. I cannot see any scenario where the team would quit trying while still alive and hope I never see my Saints do something like that.

I think they’ve laced your Xanax with LSD.

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.

If he is unhappy, he’ll sit back and collect his 30 mil. That seems to be the current trajectory of all aspects of this organization, except for the fans, who actually pay to be unhappy.

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