I think it could very well happen if we lose to Az. 10 days to prepare for the Chiefs

Haha, Keenum and the offense only scored 3 points through the first three quarters, yet this was still his best day. Boy our standards/expectations have dropped, Manning and the 2013 offense feels like it was about 30 years ago.

When Manning was setting records, who would've thought in less than 5 short years, we'd be excited when the offense scores 3 flippin' points....

I'm not seeing where anyone said they were excited, or happy, or even ok with it.

What we know of Vance Joseph is he stands by his starting QB regardless of how much they struggle. Seeing teammates, like Sanders, stick up for Keenum tells me the locker room is behind him.

Well, I didn't say I was excited, just that the trend for keenum has been up. That's all. He's been throwing more TD's than INT's, which is a big step up from the few weeks before the Jets game. It's just an observation for those that look at trends to determine the likelyhood that he will be benched...

I'm sorry, I'm not impressed by Keenum's garbage time stats, they're paying him $18 million to make plays when the score is close, and not throw redzone INTs and overthrow open receivers.

If I'm going to cut Keenum any slack, it's because he's always playing from behind and the opposing defenses are in nickel and dime all game. Either that or he's laying on his back. Not creating excuses, but I would be curious to see how he looks when the defense isn't spotting the opponent 10-20 points and giving up 200 yards on the ground. If I recall correctly, the plan this season was to be a top 5 defense and beat teams on the ground with Keenum being more of a manager than being forced to be a hero. Seems that kind of went up in flames.

Well, he’s not the worst quarterback we’ve seen in Denver in the last 4 years, but I am getting tired of seeing sacks on 3rd and long when we’re in fg range. We were in fg range approximately 4 times yesterday and got pushed back by penalties and numerous sacks with big negative yardage. We should have had at least 9 points going to the half.

He’s got to stop holding the ball so long on 3rd down

Wish in one hand...

Case is not stepping up into the pocket. Sometimes he just needs to do that and avoid the rush. Instead he does a siemian. He runs right out the back....Climb that ladder and throw it away. Run for 1 yard and slide. Dont run backwards and to the right and take a sack.


I like Case. Like how he plays for us and his demeanor. He just does not have it to be what this team needs. He is bubby brister to me. Good backup. Great guy. Can hold things together if needed. I really hope we see what we have with Chad Kelly and stop wasting time with Keenum.

Well they had the lead for a good chunk of the game week 1 and he threw 3 INTs, they also built a 10 point lead in the KC by the 4th and he helped the team choke that win away.

Honestly he's played the best when the team has been down 3+ scores and defenses back off the short routes. I really don't think the lopsided scores have been the cause of his poor play.

No one player, no matter how talented they may be, can win games all by themselves. Neither Case or Tebew ever played D, so neither of them should be allowed to steal credit for what their Ds did to win those games. They also never caught a pass, so they shouldn't be allowed to steal credit from those who did. However, the Tebois are always stealing credit from the D & receivers when they give Tebow 100% of the credit for those wins.

They also steal credit from opposing DC's for changing to prevent defense and allowing Tebow's heroics. Belichick played the Broncos twice that year and laid down the blueprint to handling Tebow.

Just in case people think the defense isn’t giving the offense a fighting chance early in these losses. In two of these games the defense/ST’s put the offense in the opponents red zone for their first score of the game.

We often play from behind because he can't produce as the QB. He often lays on his back because he holds onto the ball too long. Even when it's a close game he's not been much of a manager.

He's been categorically bad. You also said he would outplay Kirk Cousins. Just admit that he's bad and you fell for the one year outlier. It's okay to admit when you're wrong.
