We are 7-2 and bench the starting QB....just to see what we have in Teddy.
Only the Vikings
Case being made...

It would all depend...We know the Rams is going to be a close game win/loose.
I feel as long as Case is winning he deserves to start. Get Teddy some playing time so he can prove what he has. Looking good in practice in a controlled environment isn't really proving much. It's the games that count.

Quote: @Norse said:i would agree as long as its Case that is playing winning football. how many times during the Ponder era (and others) that the team is winning in spite of.... well some of those wins are more about the rest of the team IMO. I really only give Tampa, the Bears, and now the skins to Case... the rest of the games he did nothing to really win the games, he wasnt hurting the team as in turnovers, but not really being the reason for the wins, so "in spite of" is not the appropriate tag for Case, but it doesnt change the feeling that this offense will need to be more like first half sunday to be competitive the rest of the way. now maybe Teddy wont be any better, but if the coaches say he is the better option based on the information they have, how can we not trust them? yes practice leaves questions to be answered, but thats what the games are for. Its not like we are cutting Case to give Teddy a chance. I also dont buy the BS about the change messing up any chemistry, if the team is that weak mentally that a QB switch would set them off, then we arent as close to being a contender as we hope.

This is a bad situation for Teddy, too. What if Zim does put him in and we go on a losing streak? Anyone thought of that? Case should be the QB for the rest of the year barring a catastrophic meltdown, IMO.

Quote: @NorseGods said:that may be bad for Teddy and this years team, but it will be good for the teams future to know that Teddy is not a viable franchise guy for next year and beyond. as far as a losing streak, it could very easily happen to Case as well. eyes wide open, the unknowns are scary, but not insurmountable and by staying with the status quo we have no more guarantees for the future than we would by making a change. its not like a change to Teddy would have to be permanent. I am looking past the end result and trying to look at the game at a more positional level. if this was any other position besides QB... would this even be a discussion regarding leaving an average player in vs taking a chance with on one with possibly better overall skills? either way the coaches decide they want to go I am good, but I hope to see better QB play as the opponents get tougher.

Teddy Bridgewater in 2015 was the 22nd rated passer with an 88.7 rating
Case Keenum is sitting at the 22nd rating with a 92.6 rating. The idea that there is any gap between ability between these two QB's lies in personal bias.

Quote: @Mike Olson said:Why? Because a different offense with much worse o-line and WRs makes the perfect comparison? The gap in ability is simply in the mind. Teddy's ability to read defenses and go through progressions in year 2 was ahead of the veteran backup Keenum. |
