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

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 basicallysaved your season at the QB position. I just don't think we will see Teddy again this year. 

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.

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.

Maybe you should read my post a little closer...

I read it.  Not really sure what that means.  Has Hill saved the season at RT?  Harris at S?  Backups are suppose to come in and play well, otherwise they shouldn't be the backup.

LOL, that's hilarious. C'mon now, this is where a team's depth comes into play....and it varies greatly. Tell that to Dallas with backup RBs and OTs are sinking their season. Green Bay. Arizona. They are backups because their level of play is substantially lower than the starters otherwise they'd be starters on teams like Cleveland. 

Rashod Hill, Case Keenum, Anthony Harris, Danny Isidora, etc. have stepped up. More so than other team's backups and they are the reason the team is 8-2.

I would say it can be pre determined. I know he's got the backup QB label, but that's like saying Big Ben should have been permanently benched after the Jags game because he was god awful. I know the equity/history of the QB's is different, but Case has been statistically just as good as big ben if not better this year. 

 Just seems like Zim's got an itchy trigger finger for bridgewater... when our team has won 6 games in a row, and our QB mostly playing lights out and the team is behind Case. makes zero sense to me. every QB has WTF moments, or bad passes throughout the course of the game, and that seems to be the biggest argument against him, that he's not PERFECT.

so is it a WTF moment or is a string of poor moments with a really WTF moment?  like I said,  it cant be predetermined.  would I let him take the second half if he shit the bed in a first half and the game was within 1 score... maybe,  2 scores probably not,  3 scores probably as I wouldnt put Teddy into a shit situation.  it really depends the overall picture surrounding the situation.

in the past 9 games, how many times has this happened? i guess it's plausible, but not likely? other than the skins game with two bad passes (in a game he passed for 300 yards and 4td's on the road for the first time since Daunte) he's been pretty damn solid for our team.

uhm... second half of the redskins game.  if he had played like that in the first half it would have been Teddys game in the second half I am pretty sure.  but he didnt play like that in the first half and that bought him some lee way.  he followed it up with a pretty good outing this week so he gets more leash.   if he continues to grow and minimize the WTF moments it will be tough to remove him,  but it remains to be seen what it would ultimately take.

right- so this entire discussion is based on a game where he had 300 yards and 4 TD's on the road. yes i know the TD's were short, but he still executed them.. 

because he had two bad passes? 

 

2?  Sometimes I wonder if people actually watch the game.

exaclty.  I will have these conversations with anybody,  but when they try to twist shit,  or prove that they are blinded by their desires to "win the internet"  well then its not worth my time.   have fun with this one,  I think I may take another break from the QB discussion as there really is no discussing it.

@"FSUVike" said: More likely scenario because, you know, it's the Minnesota Vikings? Case plays all the snaps the rest of the way, losing a close game in the NFCCG through no fault of his own, is inked as the Franchise QB and turms into a pumpkin while Bridgewater gets signed elsewhere and turns into a Franchise QB.

I think this is what we all fear. It happened in 98/99 when we gave Cunningham a big contract and traded away Johnson. Cunningham turned into a pumpkin, like many of us knew he would, and Johnson went on to win a Super Bowl. I remember hearing so many of the same things. "Well, you can at least understand it after the season Cunningham has had. How could you take out a QB who's playing that well?" And so maybe that's what scares me so much about this. That we're going to again get seduced by another Cinderella.

But, to his credit, so far anyway, Zimmer seems to get it.

lol ok.... i disagree with you and i try to "win the internet" and then they ask me if i even watch the games. cause that's not twisting shit. it's hilarious the pompous attitude of the regulars here now a days. i even said multiple times it's ok to have different opinions on the subject. 
holy frustrating. 

and i asked for examples, tangible examples of multiple WTF moments, and you gave me 1Q of a game where the offense scored 38 points, and our QB had a rating over 100 and 300+ passing yards, and 4 TD's. and then because i bring up the two INT's which clearly is what you're talking about because they threw an entire 4 times after that, so it had to be THAT MOMENT. you ask if fucking watch the games, then call me smug.

i am not going to rehash the last 9 weeks,  just because you havent been here doesnt mean the conversation hasnt taken place.   I gave you a quick example and you became a smart ass and made your comment that my position is based off of those 2 passes alone.  or that somehow what Teddy did 2 years ago with a completely different offense and supporting cast is somehow relevant in a discussion about today.   we were talking about situations that would dictate him getting pulled.  I said it depends on the situation that he goes to shit,  if that 3rd quarter had taken place in the first quarter... you can bet your ass he should have been pulled.   but it didnt and he wasnt.

like I said,  enjoy your day.  i am not going to get into a pissing match over this.  been there done that and its just not very rewarding.

The offensive line wasn't great in 2015, but it was much better than last year's squad.  AD didn't lead the league in rushing all by himself.  And a rookie Diggs, Wright, Wallace, and Rudolph is not exactly "no WRs".  Plus you aren't giving any credit to the defense, which was the 5th ranked scoring defense that year.  The offense ranked 16th in points scored.

And I do think he's nuts if he wants to replace a QB who is playing very well and has the team on a 6 game win streak for a QB who hasn't played in a real game in 22 months and in his first two years in the league averaged 212 yards and just under 1 TD per game.

Rookie Diggs that played what, half the year does not equal 2017 Diggs. Thielen >Wallace by a factor of 3, minimum. Johnson was the other main target but Teddy had better rapport with Wright from their time as backups. 

So Rudolph, Wright and Baby Diggs. Yep, that's not too good and not even remotely comparable to what the Team has now.

And while that Line could run block, at times (a lot of that was when AP was still AP), they sucked at pass pro, which is where this Line excels.

And Uncle Norv was calling runs up the gut every stinking 1st and 2nd Down and then dialing up 7 Steo Drops to go deep with a West Coast QB.

I'm not calling for Teddy to replace Keenum. But it isn't exactly Rocket Science to project what a healthy Teddy could do with a far superior roster and OC.

not that it means anything regarding 2017 Teddy, post knee explosion Teddy,  but people question his turning the corner or showing improvement.   Teddy was 6 TD to 1 INT down the stretch in 15. (I heard it on NFLN regarding him improving before his injury)  Thats pretty damn good considering how bad our offense was with Norv calling the game for AD,  and playing outside in December.  His other stats didnt really make me say wow,  but that jumped out at me.

Well he sure as shit ain't Spurgeon Wynn now is he? I'd say 6 wins in a row with 5 games over 100 rating is pretty fuckin good no? 

 No he isn't, he's played pretty well.  3.5 games over 100 rating (feel free to call it 4, but not 5).   He also has 4 games under 80 rating.  I'm not really trying to knock him here, he's just been up and down game to game (sometimes half to half).  Just not sure what this savior thing is.  Bradford was the savior and should have been locked up on a multiyear deal and now Keenum is the savior and should be locked up on a multiyear deal.
 I'm still going to trust the coaches on all of this.

Oh for fucks sake. ..it was a quarter of the season in the end of only his second year.  Ignore them if you want I don't give a fuck.  Stick your head in the sand if it makes you feel better.  I am not arguing either way,  I am fine with Case while he's playing good,  but I'm not going to be convinced that what my own eyes were seeing and thE stats are supporting isn't likely, and that was Teddy was getting better in spite of a shitty situation.

Now if that would Case throwing like that. Some of you would be sending him packing on a rail out of town.

@"Norse" said: Now if that would Case throwing like that. Some of you would be sending him packing on a rail out of town.

you keep making arguements that are comparing the situations like they are apples to apples comparison.  Teddy was in a much shittier situation than we have right now and he was showing improvements as time went on,  which is what you look for in a young QB.  He looked even better the following pre season before his injury.  Why do you see it as a loss if you were to admit that Teddy was showing improvement?  I think pretty much everybody that contends that Teddy might be a better option, or at least needs to see the field for future considerations is admitting that Case has played pretty good and should continue to start for the short term.

and we are the stubborn ones.. right.

Teddy was on a 11-5 team, AP had the rushing title and we made the playoffs.
Teddy had 29 career starts - Keenum 33...cut me a break!!
It has nothing to do with years but career starts. 

edit: Will admit Teddy looked good in preseason, but it was just that...
I will also admit that Teddy needs some playing time. Pat just needs to find Teddy a quarter to get his feet wet.

with our line now, and in this offense.... with the receivers he has to throw to hell yes.  I would be throwing any QB out with those results in their 5th season.  however if he was in his 2nd year playing in a run first offense behind a sieve of an OL with shit targets... no,  no we wouldnt.

But your making the contention that Teddy is a better option based on a different situation a situation with Teddy on two good legs Thinking it's an apples to apples comparison.  Teddy was showing improvement, and in preseason it looked like he had improved.  But hope died that day he's knee dislocated.  count me as one on the other side that thinks Teddy is a better option and for future consideration.  Every Viking fan should know by know you don't put any stock in to next year.  Mike Florio just made a point about Keenum, talking about the play (horseshoe) If Russell Wilson makes that play he's great, Case Keenum makes that play and he's lucky.
Case Keenum is the all time NCAA leader in Passing Yards, Completions, 300 yards a game per season, 300 yard passing yard games for career, most passing TD's    I didn't know that until last night.    I had no idea what to expect from Keenum, preseason meh... I thought Henicke was the better option.  I didn't no really anything about his play with other teams never went and look up anything with him.  Didn't expect anything from Keenum Week 2, Week 3 YES, (even with that great game, the negatives were coming (people being negative)) week 4 People point to this one as proof that Case can't get it done.  I've talked about it in the "what more do you want from Case" thread and Florio and PA talked about that game this morning.  They focused on losing Dalvin and the doom that hung over the team when that happened.  I wish people would go back and watch the end of the 1st half and the whole second half of that game.  You show me where Case played poorly.  Every time I saw a poor throw he came right back to make a great throw.  2 back to back fumbles (not involving him) and losing your Starting RB  and a third fumble by Theilen on a potential game tying drive under 2 mins.  Case is playing as well or better than anyone would expect from a QB.  He was labeled a back-up (draft profile) yet produced NCAA records.  He's performing as a starter, but people still want to look at his label.  Florio also had the take that Zimmer knows the Case plays better under the pressure of your the backup and that's why Zimmer has been "undecided" Case is making that "undecided" a ridiculous notion.
