Imagine being worse than Ian Book...

at least book made it on a regular season roster after he left New Orleans (and has a Super Bowl ring...)

Haener can't even make it to training camp now?

I wonder where Haener ranks on the list of worst QBs drafted by us in the last 20 years....

I would imagine Tommy Stevens is dead last. Then Canfield...then Haener?

I would add Garrett Grayson before I would Haener.

Garrett Grayson was dogshit too. At the cost of a 3rd round pick to boot.

I dont think thats worth the Flex over, the Nuss Buss has a flat tire and mechanical problems. Until proven otherwise, its more like the Short Bus.

watching him throw a rugby ball on the sideline really pissed me off

I mean I know it shouldn't but it did if I'm being honest

Cannot believe we burned a 4th rounder on Haener. He was tiny. Not surprised in the least that he is out in KC. He is probably better suited for the UFL.

Grayson was a 3rd rounder.

Outside of Drew Brees, our franchise track record has been dogshit with QB's.

Im pulling for Shough. He at least looks the part.

Didn’t he just win senior bowl mvp? Either way, was a great pick in the 7th. Even if he becomes a backup, a qb on a 7th round salary is a steal. If he makes the team of course. Similar situation to Ewers last year.

He was part of, maybe the last, member of the group of undersized QBs with weak/moderate arm strength the Saints drafted hoping one would become the next Drew Brees...ignoring the fact Brees was an anomaly, not a "new norm".

At least with Shough (6'5 with good arm strength) it feels like that era is over. Even if Shough doesn't become a great QB
