Because there wasn't much else to do at that point except have some kind of blind faith that Hanie would not suck too badly. Presumably he knew the entire playbook and would be able to execute at a half decent level. Which is not what has happened obviously. Yeah, except there was all of one quarter of meaningful sample size to go on there and even in that sample size he threw two INT. He's the worst quarterback we've trotted out since the pre-Grossman era of Quinn/Krenzel/Etc But not as bad as Burris He's bad. Just as bad. he's easily the worse since then, which makes losing out on Orton that much worse
