I didn’t watch the game. Does he look like “The Future?”

Very hard to tell with this pathetic Saints team around him. Hard to really tell if there is any future at any position on the field or off at this point.

Dude looks jittery all the time! The moment he gets the ball he's rolling out instead of staying in the pocket or stepping up in the pocket. He throws a good ball but not consistent enough. I know the line protection is about as bad as it can get but he doesn't show me that he is our future!

Absolutely ZERO pass blocking efficiency
He may be the future but the line needs to block and receivers need to actually catch passes

Haener is looking much better. Made a few really good accurate throws and sustained drives. Had two easy throws dropped by Olave and Kamara that woukd have been first downs and caused us to kick fgs instead.

Allen screwed up big not going with him instead of Rattler. Probably put the nail in the coffin.

Haener makes reads, is accurate, and is decisive. Granted, he was mostly playing in garbage time. We aren't making the playoffs.
I would like to see Haener start at least two games.

Seems like both a Rattler and Heaner are projects.

I do expect the team to play a lot better over the next three weeks with Carr.

Probably do a typical Saints thing and go 2-1. Then after the bye put together 3 more wins to drop out of the top 10 in the draft.

Not really, though I read here we got a steal with Rattler and the better qb than Sean Payton who reached in the first in Nix.

He’s a project. Rattler was average in college and doesn’t look good now.

You could put prime brady or brees on this team and they would not make the playoffs. An injury riddled oline that even when healthy played over its head (remember oline was a huge question mark before the season) and JV high school receivers at best outside of Olave (who is getting the soft tag attached to him) and shaheed which neither are #1 options. So, you will see flashes of good play but that is about it. This team is arse and should have been blown up right after payton left. Now here we are.

If Carr is not ready to go it will be interesting who they start vs Carolina.

But the fans were yelling it's Rattler Time. I said from the start the Haener was the better QB at this point.

Rattler is not it. But people act like he's the only problem with the offense. The problem starts with the offensive line.

Rattler is garbage just like he was at Okla and South Carolina
The OL is flat out bad. We had 3 first round draft choices playing on the OL yesterday so what does that tell us about our scouting!

I'll play.

He's bad. Throwing young QBs in as starters when they aren't absolute studs is usually a disaster. That's the case with Rattler.

He got benched and rightfully so.

I think the benching was the right decision for the game, but also for Rattler. He's a bit arrogant and he needs to realize that it takes more than what he's capable of doing right now. Part of me thinks Rattler would have happily kept sucking it up never realizing how bad he's been playing.

He literally jumped into a sack by jumping into the back of his olineman………thereby into the hands of the dlineman

No I don’t think he’s “the future”

Rattler is a high upside guy. But he was drafted in the 5th round for a reason. Anyone drafted in the 5th round is a backup until proven otherwise. He was never picked to be “the future”. But at this point I’d still rather watch him than dumbass carr.

It's hard to access him with this on-line, but he doesn't look good. Nothing looks good right now. The run game is just as terrible. I stopped watching in the 2nd quarter.
