Saints Vikings highlights

Its possible that Case’s ability to scramble and pocket sense has extended drives where Sam wouldnt have.  
Perhaps this line looks all the better because of Case’s mobility.  If Case went down and Sam went in it would look like a very different game.

Fair enough. Case's ability to elude the pass rush is a big key to his success. But check week one. Same line and Sam lit it up. What's more, whereas Sam isn't as elusive, he's more accurate on deep throws. So that might be a wash. No doubt it would be a different game with Sam at QB. In some ways worse; in some ways better.

So I was watching the highlight reel from the week 1 meeting.  I know the teams have changed but the Saints have lost a ton more players then we have and their D has tailed off easily as much as our O has or maybe more.  Bradford was lights out that game but there wasn't a throw in that bunch that Keenum can't make.  

He can make the same throws, but not with the same velocity or accuracy. There is a striking difference. 

I am skeptical that Keenum could have made that Jaruis Wright throw right before Diggs first Td.

For the record when he is healthy Sam's raw arm/accuracy is arguably the best in the NFL. Its what made him the 1st overall pick in the draft coming off an injury and lacking ideal mobility. Case's arm/accuracy is more than adequate and he knows his limits. But to say it rivals or compares to Sam is a reach.

I say you put Bradford as the back-up and the second Case starts losing it, you put in Sam.

I've always been high on him. I can only imagine how good this offense would be if he'd have stayed healthy this year. And that's not a knock on Case, Sam is just that good.

Another thing that no one has mentioned is that the QB's arm changes the defense you play. The Saints played a lot of cover-two against Bradford. I doubt we'll see much of that with Case.

I guess I didn't remember the 1st half being so close. We're down 6-3 with 4 and some change to play in the 2nd quarter; close football game.  We score 7, stop them, score 7 again before the half ends, get the ball back at halftime and score 3 points. 

It quickly went from a close contested game to us having a big lead in 3 series. Bradford made some nice throws, we got some penalty calls; blink and you'd miss it.
