Zimmer: 'I'll announce my starting QB on Wednesday'

@"HappyViking" said:

People are also forgetting that Case has never had a season like he's having this year.  Before that, Bradford had arguably his best game on the season opener. 

Maybe, just maybe, this offense for the Vikes is just a very QB friendly offense, and Teddy will thrive in it too.

I beginning to think that as well...  I mean Bradford had a career year statistically last season despite a terrible offensive line.  Now the line is fixed and Keenum is playing the best football he's EVER played in his career...  it DOES make you wonder how Teddy would look with these weapons and offensive line.  It's certainly not a stretch to think that he could play much better (statistically) than he has in the past with a completely different offense and personnel.

Kevin Seifert Retweeted Aaron Rupar I agree with this and mentioned it with @1500ESPNJudd. Teddy has never done what Case has done this year. Doesn’t mean he can’t, but… Kevin Seifert added,

Pinheads like this drive me insane. Talk about "losing sight"? How about losing sight of the fact that comparing the two offenses is like comparing apples to alligators. 

we have a good OL, we have very good WRs, and we have a very good OC. Give Teddy a couple of games. Instead of asking what if? Lets try it, we can always go back.

I have absolutely no problem if they take a risk with Teddy, the upside is enormous. Case is playing at his upside which you can no doubt win games with. But I really don't think Case can take this team to a Super Bowl. Its not that he isn't capable of starting, its the fact that at some point the team is going to be down 10 pts late in the 3rd quarter and I personally don't think you can win that game on Case's arm. His accuracy is just too erratic. Teddy isn't going to come in and throw for 300+ a game, but I do think if he plays on par with his 2016 level the accuracy and ball placement alone will erase the lows.  

All boils down to risk aversion, short-term vs long-term lens...I'm just trying to enjoy 7/2 for pete's sake. Vikings wont even let me do that lol!

Have no clue what Zimmer is going to do but I think I'd like to see them stick with Case.  He's having a hell of a run and this team hot, why change things up now?

Not surprised...They may have gone Bridgewater now if there wasn't 2 games in 10 days and Case has some nice stats in the interim 

Ok, so what's the next topic du jour lol! 

Theilen worked with Case all summer long developed a friendship and that "intuitive" knowledge that comes after reps.  Don't know if I'd like to 1. Mess with what is working, 2. Test Teddys mobility against Aaron Donald, 3. Pull Keenum from playing against his former team.

Most "outside" of Vikings fans think it's stupid to start Teddy.  I've got guys (who know I'm a Vikes fan) saying..
"Theyre not REALLY gonna put Bridgewater in for Keenum are they?"

I just shrug my shoulders and tell them I have no idea.

There has been some fantastic arguments for and against Teddy starting this week...Best Vikings fan board out there.

Benching Keenum would take a lot of guts. But it makes sense. Everyone is in this to make Super Bowls. Teddy has the higher upside.

I HATE THIS THOUGHT PROCESS!!!!

teddy, on the actual field, at his peak, is Case right now.... throw in a 18 month layoff and a horrible injury, how is his upside higher than Teddy? Teddy's an awesome kid, and worked his ass off to get back. but the way people talk about him, you'd think he's Joe Montana sitting on the bench.

so an hour after the coach says he will tell everybody wednesday.... he decided to let lacanfora in on his plans?  the way Zim likes to hold his cards close to his chest he just spills the beans 2 days early?  count me as skeptical....not that he is going to start Case... that he would let it out so soon.

Jason La CanforaVerified account @JasonLaCanforaVikings will be sticking with Case Keenum as their starter this week I'm told. Highly productive. Clicking w/ receivers. Great fit in scheme
