Booker plays at back up level. He is a back up. His draft status is irrelevant in this equation.
Keenum plays at bum level. He is the starter. His draft status is also irrelevant in this equation.
It's about potential, talent, performance and role on the team.
Really hope people arent getting bent out of shape over this, I just cant see how there can be a sliding scale. Either your draft position matters or it doesnt. Ill let it go at that, its just a position i seem to be alone in, and the debate isnt one i can sway people on, so ill just remain steadfast in stance and roll with it.
Good talk guys. As your third string back and a utilitu guy he is fine. I think part of thenissue for all of us is that we remember he was touted as a potential steal when most thought he would go in the second. Maybe we drafted a rotational player about where he should have gone and need to adjust expectation. Dog he isnt the worst back we have trotted out by quite a ways.
It's a consideration. Sometimes it's relevant like "hey, this seventh round QB is awful...you know like a seventh round QB." Sometimes it's "this is an average RB taken in the fourth." Other times it's "oh wow...we get nothing out of our second rounders.
Other times it's just a wet shit party.
I soured on him when his first NFL carry was a fumble. I groaned out loud when I saw him on plays early in the year.
Having said all of that, I feel like his play this year has been effective, and dare I even say, competent. Assuming he makes no more mistakes (read; fumble), I'm very comfortable right where he is. He seems to be proving that 3rd string/utility is a good fit for him. He's young enough that with hard work he could improve on that.
I'm cool with that.
I tend to like players that people hate on for no solid reason. I mean we will hate on the random tertiary back who had successes and failures when given some prominent playing time...but it took us over an entire season to hate on TS.
And an entire offseason and a big chnk of this season to hate on CK.
I just want to be held.
