Vikings quarterback Case Keenum improves throughout season
#1
Keenum had a breakout game in his second start, a 34-17 victory against Tampa Bay in Week 3, completing 25 of 33 passes for 369 yards and three scores. It was his best statistical game of the season thus far, but he was still working to get more comfortable in the offense.
Shumur said that what has distinguished Keenum lately is his steady improvement.
“We knew he was a good player when he came here and our hopes were he could come in and back up,” Shurmur said. “But as we worked with him and he got a chance to go and work in games, you can see he’s a bona fide starter.
“You never can anticipate how good a guy is going to play, but he has done a tremendous job of leading our team, staying within himself, not trying to do too much, and he has played really, really good football.”
Shurmur said he hasn’t necessarily created new plays for Keenum but instead adjusts the offense to fit whoever is behind center.
“We’re running our offense that we have developed throughout the year,” Shurmur said. “I try to veer towards some of the plays that maybe fit him better than Sam, but not a lot of difference. We just try to kind of focus on the plays that [Keenum] does better.”

It is clear that he has improved during the season. Early on, even in his good games there were a handful of throws that made you hold your breath in terror. That happens a lot less these days.
