Could a Case Be Made For...?

Link won't open for me.
Ok I guess because I have made the case for Case before and was not treated well as I recall. If I remember it was like being mathed to death. I'm only interested in ratios. 13 to 3

Edit: before I get mathed some more. I know Case wasn't all 13.

I’d rather have Case as our backup a million times over Mannion....What a stiff...

not a chance in hell.  to many fans still attribute to much of the 17 success to Keenum and would be screaming for him starting the first time Cousins is strip sacked.

Sad to accept that management wouldn't do everything possible to help the team, but - I think you are absolutely right.

No matter how many talented DEs, CBs, WRs, LBs, TEs, and RBs Spielman picks - if you're an NFL GM with the tag of "Can't find a winning QB", your job security is poor. I believe that Spielman bet his job to get them to sign Cousins, and he'll sink if Cousins does. So that means two things:1. No way they will ever put a viable alternative on the team to suggest they don't have total faith in Cousins; and2. No significant resources will be invested in a backup QB because those resources (money, picks) will be used on other pieces that can improve Cousins' chances of success.
So forget about Keenum, Teddy, or any QB being picked higher than the 7th round.

I don't see the potential QB controversy that others do. Sure, some fans will go full-on Todd Bouman on Cousins the minute he screws up, but so what? They're fans. Shut up and have another Grain Belt.

I'd be all for bringing Case in as the backup. Makes perfect sense.

Agreed.  After Case left MN, he wanted his shot at starting and was given that opportunity.  After the last couple of years, I'm thinking Case now has a better appreciation for his game and his market.

in this scenario.... is Cousins playing on the final year of his deal or does he get extended?  If its his last year IMO we need to have somebody in the #2 role that we would want in the #1 role in 2021,  if they extend Cousins, who gives a shit who is #2,   might as well be Case.

I can't speak for all fans, but I- for one- would welcome Case back with open arms... if he comes back at a back-up QB's salary.  He could definitely help us win if something happened to Cousins... he's a "team" guy, so I don't think he'll be working to undermine Cousins... if Cousins can't take the offense further, then Case gives us an option for the near future (until our next attempt at a "franchise QB"... and Case could really make some hay on those roll-outs: if there's pressure, he won't hesitate to take off.  It might cost us a few down-field completions... but it might add a few more first downs.

Case- and Cousins- are both easy to root for.  Getting Case back would be great for the team.

I think no, and it has nothing to do with his history here or rocking the boat.

We brought Mannion in because he was cheaper than Siemian. Trevor got paid double what Mannion signed on for. I can't imagine Keenum going from double digit millions to the veteran minimum. We wouldnt just be asking him to be the backup... we'd be asking him to play for free too in comparison to what he just got a taste of.

I'd rather the Vikings draft a QB and hopefully he could be the #2 guy. 

Zimmer really wasnt a fan of Keenum. So I would be surprised if we see him back.

keenum and zim never. meshed not happening

I get where you're coming Fromm.

Um...yes, I'm sure Zim's refusal to commit to Keenum was because he didn't LIKE him.

Love lost 9 of 11 starters on O, his HC and OC...so, if you look at his prior year...

I am not a huge CFB watcher,  and havent had time to (actually havent really taken the time) really look at any prospects,  but the little I looked at QBs I kind of like Love.  Seems to be something there to build on IMO.  Although after watching what amounts to a pocket statue in Cousins for 2 years... Hurts in the 3rd or 4th wouldnt hurt my feelings either.  They could even get him involved in a mobile QB role as a change of pace as a rookie,  kind of like what nawlins did to opposing Ds.
