Washington QB Jake Haener Is transferring. Do we dare pick up the phone?

Tough to transfer this late and earn a starting role. I would assume he goes the JC route.

Nope. Or we lose all quarterbacks on the roster except Troy.

Go get him... It's going to be real apparent that we need someone in a couple short weeks.

I hope all the people that are putting down the QBs on our roster will come back to this site in a few weeks and admit they were wrong. If we completely bomb at the QB position and end up moving TA back there as some have suggested, I'll certainly post here that I was wrong.

I’m with you. I saw only bits of a couple practices last week but CB looks better every day. He has the full support of his offense and more importantly his coaches.

It’s just odd that a guy who I think looks pretty good, won the qb battle, and Choate seems very happy with; still get very little support on this board for some reason? Curious where these opinions are coming from? I’m not saying it’s impossible he won’t succeed. But everything I’ve seen with my own eyes and have heard from coaches as well as guys covering the team like the nuanez bros tells a different story.

They're coming from people who read the negative stuff on the board and think that is all there is going on at camp. I'll bet there were Miami fans saying the same thing before last night's game too.

I think since it's been so long since we had a definite starter, and this competition between Bauman and Rovig has gone on so long, that people don't trust that anyone with no experience can do the job.
I think Choate just wants to make sure that his choice can do the job and not flounder when the bullets are live.
I think that the doubt is normal until he wins a game or two, and commands the huddle during an important drive.

I believe we have a high percentage of chicken little's on this site.

Just to be clear. I really like Bauman and think he is going to do a great job by year’s end. I don’t support the idea going after Haener because I think Coach Choate has built this years family and won’t disturb the culture. I posted this because we have relied on the Husky player pipeline to improve depth and talent and here would be another opportunity. Some interesting comments, but I too believe CB has a chance to be Freshman of the year, if the team plays as well as we think they will. GO CATS!!

Regardless of whether you are right or wrong, we haven’t even played one game. Maybe we should wait for some results before actively seeking transfers.

Why? Not sure if you're kidding with that question.
I will certainly come back here and admit that I was wrong if CB lights it up and TA is not called on to essentially be the full time QB come conference time. I am hoping very much that I am wrong. I guess we will see in a few weeks.

You haven't seen him in game action! Pump the brakes

Why would I be kidding? You said it’d be real apparent that we’d be needing another qb in a few weeks. It doesn’t seem apparent to me, Matt Miller or coach choate so I was curious why it’s so apparent to you?

Are you not liking what you’ve seen of him so far?

Seataccat plays the expect the worst, hope for the best card a lot. As little of Bauman that anyone has seen I don’t know how somebody can say with any certainty that he’ll be good or not. He threw 11 passes in the first scrimmage, but it was closed. He only threw six in the second scrimmage, which was held at 6:00, so not too many people were there. Not as many as would’ve been if it was earlier at least.

If it was earlier in fall camp, then I would say absolutely bring him in (if it’s even an option)..... at this point though I’m afraid it would only disrupt team chemistry.

I am probably wrong but I guess we will see how things unfold. I think we should aggressively pursue Jake Haener this year.
I remember when Brian White transferred to Portland State from Colorado. He came mid season to replace Tygue Howland who was injured and Tyler Hubel was the young backup and just not ready to play. He stepped right in and in a matter of days was starting. He played in four games and was 3-1 with the only loss being oregon with wins over EWU, NAU and SSU. They finished third in the BSC. He was a big 12 starter and was an immediate upgrade to the PSU offense despite a young Tyler Hubel. I am sure it hurt Hubel's feelings but he was young and survived to play another day. Jake Haener is in a similar situation as Brian White was and MSU is in a similar situation as PSU was.
