Case Keenum has “a horseshoe right now” but how long will he have starting job?

Case deserves more than that.

i agree 100% but it's well documented his love of Teddy, and IMO his overestimate of Teddy's game. he's just begging for a reason to put him in the game. it is becoming more and more apparent each week. he seems upset that he has to play Case, because Case is playing so well.

Why not give Mike Zimmer the credit he deserves? You're suggesting that Zimmer wants to put Teddy in only because he "likes" him, and not because of what he has seen in practices. I think that's pretty ridiculous, don't you? 

I'm not able to witness practices, but by almost all accounts Teddy has been pretty spectacular. And it's far more likely that he, and not Case Keenum, is our future at QB. So it would not be that crazy to suggest that Zimmer is dying to see what Teddy can do in this offense. And probably senses, as many of us do, that his offense would be even better with Teddy.

But he knows, as many of us do, that you can't bench a QB as white-hot as Keenum has been. You just can't. And so on it goes.... It's an awkward situation and you can see that awkwardness in almost every interview Zimmer does. 

Yes, I think the cold calculations say that Keenum is on an unsustainable path.  But Zimmer recognizes the hot hand/lucky horseshoe and it is working right now.  Very tough spot for a coach and I think he is handling it rather honestly.  Keenum makes some dumb plays that could really hurt the team, but while we are winning and putting up good offense, it really is tough to change.

I'm not trying to beat a dead horse, but before the EIGHTEEN MONTH LAYOVER, and teddy last played, he made dumb plays, or terrible deep throws, each and every week... If Teddy put up these numbers there would be in no way these Teddy guys clamoring for Case. 

Everyone keeps stating "play the hot hand" are they suggesting that after a season's worth of good/even great QB play, if he has one bad game, we bench him? 

@"Mike Olson" said: We are criticizing a guy for making one or two (gasp maybe even three) bad throws a game3, in favor of a guy that hasn't played a meaningful football game since Jan 2016..... Folks that was a LOOOOOOOOOONG time ago. My money is that you would see a LOT more than 3 bad throws in that situation.

What amazes me is the lack of trust people have in the coaches that are paid to do this, have their livelihood depend on it and watch them every day. 

Nothing amazes me about what people will discuss on a football board. That is what we do.  But to think that some man crush would make an NFL coach throw a season down the toilet is rather odd. 

TB seemed to learn from his WTF plays and rarely repeated mistakes.  But Case and his horseshoe seem to thrive on them, so he isn't exactly cutting out the mistakes. 

I hashed it out last week and won't waste more time on it.  I think Case is on an unsustainable path.  Film and defenses and lady luck will all catch up.  That is my opinion and I stand by it.  But I enjoy the ride.

But he made a couple bad throws....

@"prairieghost" said: In a different thread it was Bolstad I think who said he's starting to worry more about keeping our OC than who will be our QB for the long-term. I am starting to come around to that thought myself. It's clear that Shurmur is a pretty great OC and I could sure see him as a hot candidate for one of the many yearly vacancies upcoming. I'd love to see the team keep both QBs and the OC. Will all 3 be with the team next year? Will any of them be with the team?? How about 1 or 2 of them?  I think it'd be a frickin' miracle if we kept all 3 another season.

The best (but rather unlikely) scenario would be to resign them both in the off season and let them fight it out for the starter job. However, on top of having to try to retain at least one of our QBs (meaning Bradford, Bridgewater or Keenum) we also have to hope we keep Shurmur around, or hope that we can find someone like him to utilize his schemes and keep the roll going. Can you imagine not only losing multiple QBs but also your OC in the offseason?? Start thinking about it because it could happen...
We lose Shurmur we start all over on offense, and to me that's a much worse thing than trying to make a decision on the long-term QB (and I'm not underestimating what a big decision we have at QB, either). We finally have the O-line of our best, prettiest dreams, a very balanced running game, and a pass attack like we haven't had since Favre. Anyone think possibly having start over AGAIN on O would be appealing next season??

so ... assuming Shurmur is gone ( I am ) do you resign Case and lose Teddy, or do you keep an unproven Teddy and lose Case?  we wont get them both,  I just dont see it happening.

That's why you have to get Teddy some playing time. One way or the other, he's got to get some snaps in this offense to see how he responds. If you don't, decisions in the offseason get real murky and complicated.

I am not as concerned with him getting reps in this offense as I am pretty convinced that Shurmur will be gone if things continue to click.  I think Teddy would do awesome in this O as his ball placement is better when he can step into his throws than Case IMO and he reads the defenses better IMO.   I am on board with riding out Case as long as he is playing good enough to keep the team in the home field hunt,  but I honestly think that Teddy was turning a corner and the offense would be as good or better with him in there.  oh well the team is winning and I am happy for now.

I stick with Teddy because I think he is the better QB, both from a football smarts level, and from a talent level.  Case is living (and ultimately may die from) putting it up there and letting Theilen go get it,  but I have to think at some point it will cease to have a happy ending.  I havent seen Teddy throw much since his injury, but I think his arm is likely stronger than Cases as well so I like that aspect also.  Everything I have seen from Case I have seen from Teddy,  but I think Teddy will ultimately be the better QB and fit into other offenses better... but if the coaches and front office decide its Case... I am ok with that as well,  Case has earned a better contract and a chance to compete for a starting role off this year.

Agree that Case has earned a better contract and a chance to compete for a starting role next season, whether that is with us or someone else, depends less on him, and more on Teddy Bridgewater. 

I'm fine letting Case start another game, and if he plays well, another one after that. If nothing else, it's great motivation for Keenum. But at some point in these games, we have to see Teddy, if only for a series or two. Because the longer the Teddy question goes unanswered, the more muddled our future becomes.

my concern is unless Teddy is given a full game plan and a whole game or two... what will we really learn?  if we are getting spanked and he goes in it will likely be with a very predictable pass heavy game plan and it wont really be a true test,  or if we are stomping somebody it will be run heavy to kill the clock,  again not really painting any picture worth basing a monster decision on.  this is really a tough spot to be in considering how good the problem is to have.

How fair would it be to Bridgewater to ask him to come in after not playing a meaningful football game since Jan 2016 and not screw up the current trajectory? That's a lot of time that he hasn't led a team. And that's a lot of pressure to welcome him back under. If it doesn't work you have a whole locker room full of folks that are going to ask why you went away from a guy that basically saved your season at the QB position. I just don't think we will see Teddy again this year.

Isn't a little insulting to the rest of the team to say that Keenum saved the season?  I would guess the defense feels like they're a part of the success of the team.

Bridgewater is a NFL QB, if he can't hack it, so be it and go back to Keenum.  Again, if Zimmer feels Bridgewater is the best option, he should go with him.  Play the best talent.  To paraphrase Zimmer, good enough is the enemy of great.

well not as long as Case keeps doing enough to win.  if the trajectory changes I dont think that the team would have any issues with Teddy getting his chance.
