Carr is tough but he's not super human like Cam Jordan who can play every game year after year. He could get injured. Especially behind what is a largely unknown and somewhat suspect O line. Rattler throws well on the run even though he's not a dual threat QB and Haener looks more like a finished product this year who is ready to step in at backup QB. |

As for Carr, he's played virtually every game his whole career so far. Odds say he's likely to play them all again. |

Re: Official 2024 Training Camp Discussion
Hmmm......I thought when you cut a player on cut down day they had to go through waivers. Which, is why it's such a difficult decision on who will and who won't clear waivers before we can add them to the practice squad. Thanks for clarifying.

If you claim players waived by another team early you are likely to lose your top player or two or three you want to retain. Apparently the first few claims by most every team are their own released players.
But, you may be right in Rattler being wanted. In that case we may keep three QB's on the 53. Then again, Haener could be waived and picked up first and moved to the practice squad. But I still expect Haener to start out as the primary backup. |
