Re: The Saints Backup QB Battle - Who Wins?
If I had to pick I'd say Rattler.
Not quite sure how to articulate why I feel that way, so I'll just cast my vote and move on.

Need game time film to fully answer. Good for us that it's here for us all to see soon.

Most likely Haener because i think the front office values seniority and paying your dues. I would prefer Rattler because he has more upside. Best case they all look great so we can trade one for a right tackle.

Really doesn’t matter. Neither one will be worth a damn once they play a few games behind our offensive line.

Holding judgement until I can see some pre-season reps on Saturday.

Re: The Saints Backup QB Battle - Who Wins?
Two very different quarterbacks. If there was a must in game against a superior team where our chances of winning were marginal, I'd want Rattler in there. He has the arm talent to carry an offense on it's back. Between the two, if anyone is going to pull a horseshoe out their ass, it's him. His struggle has always been maintaining any level of consistency. High risk, high reward, low floor player.
I put Haener more in that game managing type quarterback. The Trent Dilfer, Rich Gannon type. He's probably the safer bet should Carr miss an extended amount of time. He won't hurt you too bad but we wouldn't be able to rely on his arm to win football games. There's nothing wrong with that if you have a strong defense and a good running game. His arm might actually fit Kubiak's offense better. With that said, I didn't see much of Haener in college so I could be limiting Haener's upside. |

All little common sense goes a long way. |

Re: The Saints Backup QB Battle - Who Wins?
The fact that it’s this close of a battle between the rookie and the second year player tells me we need to roll with the rookie.
