One thing rattler is used to is pressure, and having to make quick decisions. Hes not the fleetest of foot but he’s gonna thrive with more than 1 weapon to work with
Until he goes 3-0 which most likely won’t happen due to mistakes from the offensive line & defensive line it’s a waste of talent.
vita vea gonna eat that oline alive
I’m torn. It’s not very fair to put this kid behind such a crappy line. On the other end, it’s a golden opportunity. If he pulls out a win or we dont loose because of him, coaches will have to make a big decision. Of course I’m cheering him on. Rat DAT.
Let’s see how long he can survive behind that line
He should’ve been named QB2 all alone.
DENNIS ALLEN has been exposed!
he can’t look worse than carr the last 2 weeks…. i want to be excited about our team again, this season is worse than the last 3 years… look amazing and then a switch flips and we look lost…… still gotta prove they can do something.
Getting a jersey NOW

Bad move,gave Jake a chance, time for Allen to go,hope Jake should be piss doing to him what they did to hill
Makes sense because this is who Kubiak drafted for his offense style
Jake is better yall is stupid asf
This was the one move that would restore some form of optimism and hope within the fanbase!! I really hope this works out.. I do feel bad for Haener though!!
🐍🐍 🐍🐍🐍 👊😎🔥🔥🔥
yeah saints need to move past carr he has been playing in the league way to long to be so garbage
kinda like being at a job for so long and still not being good at your job
I have screenshots pre draft where I told my friends Rattler was a steal and an NFL starter, they laughed, now we see what happens WHO DAT ⚜️🖤⚜️🖤
The Rattle Snake finally gets his time to shine.
Thanks Ross, I think this can be a very positive move as you point out with this offense! Let's go Saints!!!!
Bet the team play hard for rattler
Attn all you Carr Crusaders: Give Rattler the same grace you were giving Carr! At least now we have a mobile QB!
This a good call by D.A considering the injuries on the o line a mobile qb is better
He just may take carr job
If we start Rattler just so that he can hand the ball over to Kamara to try and run thru the middle of the O-line then I don't really care. They could put Cam Jordan to it and it wouldn't make a difference.
Thanks Ross!!
This the one time I’m rooting for the Saints to win solely because I want the Falcons other divisional rival to be at .500 like the Saints. 😂
Gorattler
Carr plays like a rookie. Might as well play a rookie!
The qb debate gonna be fire 🔥 after he show up and show out, Carr has had long enough time in the league we know who he is let’s see what we got cus Carr ain’t the future
Our fan base is on here fighting for MEDIOCRITY. We've FAILED with DA. We've FAILED with DC. How is this even a discussion… we literally suck rn! Ik the OLine is struggling, and nothing helps that more than a mobile QB. #whodat
Someone asked if Rattler was the new starting QB. Moron. He’s going to get smashed by Todd Bowles and then people will say Derek Carr couldn’t have beaten them.
hes gonna get rattled
