Thread: Why Case Keenum May Turn Out To Be The Steal Of The Century......

He’s Jake Plummer with a little more accuracy/decision making ability but less arm strength and real ability to run (not just scramble). He was a small ball QB who played small ball and did well. Lots (and I mean lots!) of screens and <5 yard dump offs. When he did throw downfield he often got lucky and/or bailed out by Thielen and Diggs. The big difference between Keenum last year and other QBs of his talent level is that his gambles worked. He should’ve thrown 3x the Ints that he did. We’ll get to see him first hand this season and I’d be willing to bet he’s gonna be more 2016 Keenum than 2017.

Yes, that's a lot of stats. When you have a lot off stats, all good, that says something. I have
seen a lot of Keenum, too. As I have mentioned elsewhere, the Vikings are my sister's favorite
team, so I saw a few of their games by default.

I've seen the "dink and dunk" argument. What is forgotten -- or never fully realized -- is that
this is how Peyton Manning made his living. And every QB who plays gets "bailed out" by his
receivers. When you talk about that, you're talking about every one of them. The thing is, by
nearly every statistic, Keenum was one of the best QBs in the league last year.

Here is an interesting take on him:

Youth, more talent and upside, smaller contract. He's still developing.

I personally don’t ******* care, I was the only one here defending that offense the last three seasons. Matter of fact, I remember you bitching about Kubiak’s offense from the day he was hired ... so do yourself a favor, drop this, you don’t get to defend the very thing you’ve bitched about for 3 years simply to pimp a garbage talent you’ve got a hardon for.

Btw, they weren’t short passes his receivers turned into 1st downs, it was exactly what you all have been bitching about for years ... 2 yard passes on 3rd and 4.

Go watch the ******* games, start walking your talk or get the **** out of my way.

When it’s Keenum it’s smart, he’s a doubles hitter ... when it’s Kubiak he’s a dinosaur and the game passed him by.

Sell your stupid some place else.

Who cares? Did you listen to the message, or are you just judging from his appearance? I wrote
some pretty good articles and a book in my parents' basement . . .

I threw parties in my parents basement.

Keenum was a very sensible signing.

Was it sensible trading Talibing to make Keenum possible?

Valid question. Aquib Talib is 32. There were others I'd prefer to trade or release before Talib. But trading him allows us to unload his salary.
