Keenum was actually REALY good the second half of the season. November and December were great and included 2 games where he completed over 80% of his passes.
That Keenum I would be very happy with.
I was not real impressed with him in the saints playoff game I watched the other night though...
Look at the game logs. http://www.nfl.com/player/casekeenum/2532888/gamelogs
Then put those numbers into context of this era and the team he played on. Week 17 you can be dazzled all you want by his completion percentage, until you realize he was barely throwing the ball down the field, and amassed a hot total of 180 yards. I.E. he was asked to do almost nothing.
Week 16, he threw for 169 yards, his completion percentage was 56%, and he threw for 139 yards. Again, he was asked to do almost nothing. Which is fine, because that's what you tend to ask players like CK to do.
Week 15, he spanked the Bengals, and he had only three incomplete passes. That's actually a good game. Although, when you win 34-7, and the QB amounts to two of those TDs, the game was never in question. But sure, that's his awe-inspiring game of that quarter of the season.
FWIW, I don't hold the Carolina game against him - Carolina had to win that game and they were a good team.
Here's the point - when you dig deeper than an inflated completion scheme, he's not impressive. In 2018, his banner year, he had one three TD game, he was able to go over 300 yards twice in the regular season, and he's just not productive sans "oh god, look at his QB Rating," and completion percentage. When he has to put up production, the production doesn't come.
People are falling in love with a game manager and passing him off as something other than that.
I am not saying Case is Manning.
I am saying he was a very good mobile game manager the second half of the season. Very Alex Smith like. That is good enough to take this team far.
I am terrified though that there are 2 versions of Keenum out there and I have no idea which one we got.
