Haener sells the couch

I think it has more to do with the fact Haener was the de facto backup last year, and Pete gave him a chance to see what he can do. Haener then took the 1st team reps he got and looked terrible, while Eason got some time to work with the young 2nd string receiversDoogles said:
Setting up a phony QB1 battle in hopes of a transfer does not sound like something an adult coach like Pete would do.chuck said:Petersen's method of orchestrating this is a little odd but perhaps brilliant. It seems obvious now that the staff likes both Sirmon and Morris better long term but may have avoided conveying that to Haener.
So why the competition? My thought is that they came out of spring with a solid 1-3 in mind of Eason, Sirmon, and Morris. They wanted Haener out because there was no way he'd accept 4th string. Perhaps giving keeping up the charade and allowing him to fail was the cleanest way to get it done. If that was the strategy then bravo Pete. Fucking masterful.
I think they orchestrated thus masterfully. People are overating the importance of how the reps were divided up to now. Eason needed reps period. Sirmon and Morris needed enough to prove they were capable backups. Haener needed enough to lose a phony QB1 battle so he'd leave.Doogles said:This is an indictment on Hamdan and Petersen more than anything.
Overall it's great Haener is gone and more talented players move up the chain of opportunity, but how out of touch are you with your own QB room to be blindsided by a double portal in Spring then waste half your 1st team reps on a guy who portals immediately once you tell him what everyone else already knew?
Inspires zero confidence the offense is being run by adults. Where else are they completely out of touch? I bet the WR room depth chart could be completely flip flopped and it would be more productive.
Now Eason has a full week of practice in the position he knew was his all along. I think things were handled well and worked out perfectly.
As fun as that theory is, that is some straight Sark shit and highly doubt Pete played that game.
QB1 reps are the most valuable thing in the program during the fall, you don't shit half of them away on a game of chicken.
Haener basically false started at his chance so badly he got passed by Sirmon and maybe even Morris -
Caple article on this is out on the Athletic. Sounds like Pete swears it was close. And Haener wants to start somewhere.

Might be coachspeak because he didn't want to lose a backup when Eason has a well-documentedwhlinder said:Caple article on this is out on the Athletic. Sounds like Pete swears it was close. And Haener wants to start somewhere.
fumblinginjury problem.
I'm guessing we see Sirmon get lots of reps against EWU and Hawaii. -
From Haener's point of view if Coach Pete has always told the team in case of a tie, it goes to the player that's older and been in the program longer, and then is told by Pete that It came down to "splitting hairs" and a gut feeling then I can see why he'd be pissed.whlinder said:Caple article on this is out on the Athletic.

Bigger concern to me is it it's true (and I think far more of it is than isn't even from Coach Pete's mouth) is how the Scout team QB who the Defense couldn't stop talking about how amazing he was last year in Skinny could be in such a close QB battle with Haener who by all accounts was a interception turnover machine in practice which is Pete's number one no-no. -
Isn’t he from the OC with a rich mom? Nuff said on that.

Is Peyton Henry now an under cover agent who will purposely miss against Oregon in support of his boy? We may never know.

What is up with QBs who have hot moms being shitty/such feeble pussies.
