Scouting report:

Max effort thrower. Haener has average arm strength. His offense catered to his quick release and accuracy on short and intermediate timing throws.
The best-case scenario would be an offense that asks Haener to operate as a quick processing point guard. He profiles as a solid backup that could keep the offense afloat in a pinch. Please don’t ask him to go out and play Superman or be a floor-raising QB.
His outside-the-numbers accuracy can be spotty. His arm-strength limitations show up here, but he does display the ability to layer throws versus zone coverage.

Player Comp: Kellen Moore

Dynasty Outlook: If you’re looking for a prospect to place on the Brock Purdy mantle, it’s Jake Haener. Haener is a quick processor that delivers an accurate ball. He displays the ability to also make plays outside of structure. He’s worth a fourth or fifth-round dart throw in Superflex leagues but nothing more. Derek Carr’s contract likely puts him in the driver’s seat for the Saints for the next 2-3 years, so don’t expect Haener to start anytime soon unless Carr craps his pants.
