With Rose battling an injury and Jordan not showing the ability to consistently push the ball down the field with his arm, Hairston now has his chance as the team’s QB1. “Obviously AJ’s arm talent is what you want, right?” Harasymiak said. “We wanted to take some time to see how the practices went during the week,” Harasymiak said. “[Rose and Jordan] don’t really have the elite arm talent that AJ has,” Harasymiak said.
