Jake Haener

I think @RaceBannon has the same philosophy on next year's starting QB as he does with the coaching search/hire: UW should have gone after Bryce Young in the portal, not Jack fucking Haener!

I think once a guy quits on you he's a quitter

Not that complicated

God forbid we did use the portal to get a great QB

WE CAN'T
 
It's not like we are contending next year, so why not start building with Sam? And worst case, what if Sam leaves?

Haener would have 1 year, he wouldn’t be coming over with 3 years of eligibility left. I doubt Huard leaves because of that and if he does well fuck him then.

Not contending? So we should just throw the season away and not try to get a better draft pick? I’m confused.

If Jake Haener can't win the Mountain West, how in the world do you expect him to win the Pac-12? The whole point of hiring him was that he can develop talent. Well then develop, Sam, that's why you were brought here.

This is dumb. If they don’t lay a dud against Hawaii they would have won the MWC. The reason to take him is that he is better than what we have.

But you're going to get a few of that dud games from Haener that's just who he is. He's going to have a few of those games where he just throws a bunch of picks.

How many pics did Huard and hid dad throw?

 
Morris is hitting the portal so as of now we're going into spring ball with Sam and Stratton. We need to bring at least 1 portal QB anyways so why not bring a guy who is familiar with DeBoer's system? A lot of ppl here complained about Browning getting the job handed to him in 2015 but now we don't want Sam to have to compete? I want Haener back and I want Sam to beat him out straight up.
Click to expand...

Yep.

I'm disappointed this is even a debate. Hmmm should we add a breakout star QB who plays in the literal exact offense we're installing hmmmm. Win the fucking games. Give Sam the opportunity to beat him out. Haener got a raw deal here too btw, I don't blame him for transferring. I still think that was a huge reason why Pete walked.

I actually agree with this take. Pete knew Haener was better but started the hometown savior anyways because WaShInGtOn2.0 fever had grown out of control.

I get what Race is saying, but if you beat someone on the field and are passed over anyways, fuck you i'm out.

Haener walked and proved it was a mistake to go with Eason. Not so coincidently the culture eroded that season and here we are.

Bring him back, if Sam wins the battle he'll be excellent, if Sam stays and learns he'll be better prepared, If Sam transfers? where the fuck does he go that's a better position and starting immediately?

It also doesn't hurt that Deboer can point to Haener as successfully developing a portal QB. He has a built in pitch for the next guy to come around. If not Haener i'm reaching out to some big guns.
 
I love Sonics but his take here is off. Haener is way better than Huard right now and we take him in a heartbeat.

Sonics also wasn’t a fan of DeBoner initially but has since come around. The same will happen with Haener and he’ll warm up to it.

If Sam portals because he had to sit out one year learning the system then good riddance

UW has a ton of soft players who think they are stars. If some transfer, good. Culture change.

I agree

So enough of the hot Haener talk

Transferring isn't quitting.

And he sure looked like a winner when Fresno beat UCLA.

Looked more like a winner than Eason ever looked for us after he "quit" Georgia to come here.

Why wouldn't Pete start Haener if he was better? Nobody told Pete who to play

If Sam quits I'd say the same thing

If he gets a better situation he should leave. You just don't come back

How to you build a culture of toughness when you're first act is to let a quitter come back? That's as bad as coddling Sam
 
I get the passing game needs help, but are you? going to ignore the fact that UW had one of the worst rushing attacks in the conference this year?

No but the thread was about Haener. That needs to be addressed regardless of who the QB is but I would still want a better QB if that is an option.

They go hand in hand. Can’t run the ball if the defense has 0 respect for your ability to throw the ball downfield

Huff hasn't been fired yet. Starting to get concerned

The O line is a fucking joke. That's the running game

Not hard to stop the run when you are running I formation dives everyone knows is coming into a stacked box every play.

Why not? The defense shouldn't be any worse than what we saw and the offense should take a huge step forward, especially with a competent QB. Give Sam a year to get actual coaching and be ready to kill it as a junior.

I'm all for taking Haener.

I’m hearing another 10 win Season, rather easily.

Anything less than 8 is a failure.

10 is optimistic but a possibility.

They used to have a skit on Saturday night Live about this sort of thing.

Yes and no. If you don't start Eason that year then DDY and the rest of the fanbase would have charged the office. Remember how nervous and angry the local media was getting when Eason wasn't named starter and they battled throughout camp?

Ultimately you're right, Pete could have played whomever, but I think he succumbed to the pressure of playing the hometown 5 star big dick gun slinger and went against his principles. Guarantee it kills him and he regrets it.

Not a defense for Pete, in many ways a knock, so fuck Pete for whimpering out and not sticking to his guns and making the hard decision he's paid for. But from Haener's perspective, if you truly believed you were better, proved it during the battle, and got told to fuck off in favor of the chosen one, you're immediately hitting the portal.
