Jake Haener's previous starting experience for the Saints puts him in the mix for the starting quarterback role. However, with the drafting of Tyler Shough, he may find himself in a competitive battle for playing time.

Jake Haener is the Saints' quarterback who previously played under Kirby Moore at Fresno State, making him a significant link in the potential coaching transition.

Jake Haener struggled in his recent performance, managing only 38 net yards of offense in the first half before being benched. He has been named the starter for the upcoming game, despite having a challenging record against the spread during his previous starts this season. The Saints are looking for stability at quarterback as they navigate their playoff hopes.

Jake Haener was replaced by Spencer Rattler during the game against the Washington Commanders, as Rattler led a second-half comeback. The Saints are now looking to Rattler to provide a spark for the offense in the upcoming cold-weather game against the Packers.

Haener filled in for Carr but struggled significantly, completing only 4 of 10 passes for 49 yards and throwing an interception, which led to his benching in favor of Spencer Rattler.
