Case Keenum debate should be put to rest

Luck, skill, magic, who cares? Keenum is a hoot to watch.
He keeps slinging passes on the run and making an occasional risky throw as if he has all the job security in the world. That’s a credit to him sticking to his style and not playing tight or cautious.
“We love the way he plays the game,” Thielen said. “He plays with a lot of passion.”
And confidence. Lots of confidence. Keenum’s comfort level with his receivers, his line and Pat Shurmur’s scheme seems to improve with each game.
His 28-yard completion to tight end Kyle Rudolph up the seam in double coverage was perfectly placed, and it showed his trust level in Rudolph. That’s just one example.

Keenum has made it impossible for the team to give up on him by how well he has directed the offense in relief of Sam Bradford. He has become a fascinating story.
Keenum made another statement Sunday, to his former team and to those who still thought the Vikings needed a quarterback change.

A-f******-men! I love TB and his story, but Case has something special with this WR corps.  It's his team!

Yup, ride the Case train as long as he continues to hold it together (and I'm not rooting for him to come apart).
I'm a self admitted Teddy Bobo, but you don't fix what ain't broke.

I guess nobody disagrees much with this anymore...Alrighty then, we're grabbing hands and singing Kumbaya for as long as this train keeps chugging forward with Keenum. 

There never should have been a debate but if Case is performing this well under the "debate" let's keep the debate going.  Maybe that's why Zimmer is keeping it rolling?

The lions will get smoked

lions game will prove just that thursday 

I've heard that Keenum will be exposed during the next game for about 4 or 5 weeks in a row now.

I lost my old account and just kinda read articles on here without creating a new one. I love that where winning and i support anything Zimmer does with our team. Case is playing good with a great team around him. The oline allows no sacks. The receivers are now experienced and in their prime. The RB are great. The Defense is the best in the NFL. Its very very hard not to do good in the situation. The team he played for and failed at last year is 7-3 this year. it's been fun seeing us win like we are.

Well . . . . just listen to Zimmer talking to the press about Keenum.  He says things like (paraphrasing): "it ended well" in reference to what he thought about Keenum's duck and chuck play. 
"He has a horseshoe." That is, Zimmer thinks Case is getting lucky. But Zimmer knows what happens to luck. It eventually runs out.
"It's hard to yank him now." As in, I'm looking for a reason but he has not given me one yet.
"I still have high hopes for Teddy." As in, Teddy is still my QB. Case is just keeping his seat warm for now.
There is one person who can end the debate by saying Case is my QB and this is his team.  But Zimmer has never said that. Everything he says suggests that Case should not get too comfortable as the starter. Maybe Zimmer feels that a comfortable Case is one who would take way too many chances with  the ball and the only way to tamp down his natural tendencies is by letting him know that he will not hesitate to replace him with Teddy if he "goes off the reservation."

That's exactly right. It's not hard to read between the lines here. My gut tells me that Zimmer thinks as good as Case has been, Teddy would be even better. It's not going to take much for him to pull the trigger on that.

Zimmer is the coach, But I think Shurmur likes how the offense is playing right.
If Zimmer made a change that Shurmur didn't support. Could it cause a riff?
