Keenum QBR rating of 121.8 yesterday
Crazy good, week after week. He's got this offense humming on all cylinders. That TD pass to Rudolph while getting blasted just doesn't get any better from anyone. They are so unpredictable on offense now, it opens up Shurmur's playbook completely. I see why the Vikings signed Murray, he's deceptively slippery out there.
Just a fun ride. A legitimately good football team. Some extra time off to hit the last 5 games and its playoffs time. Love it.
Playing excellent ball...elusive in the pocket and can hurt you with his legs...
keenum is playing with nothing to lose. backyard football. hes come a long way from the first 2 weeks we put him out there, huge credit to shurmur, but the guy is having fun. hes made me believe, the games our d or st teams have sucked, our o has been there. we dont need just 1 aspect of this team. we are complete. if we ever get all 3 to actually click at once, watch out nfl!!!

That longer TD pass to Rudolph... BIG TIME. He was hit immediately after releasing the ball and dropped it right in there. I jumped out of my seat on that one...
BOOM

Me too. That was an off-the-couch, fist pump, F$%# yes moment for me.

Dude is fearless.
That was the best throw he has made all year. It was a perfect pass.
And the number of crazy, hold your breath, OMG, passes seem to be diminishing. The only one I can recall from yesterday is where he was under pressure from the right side, did not even try to elude the pass rusher, and threw to the right. That pass may have actually hit the DB in the back of the legs. But I dont recall another one like that.
If he can consistently be the good Case without the crazy Case, we may really have something here.
Pass to Rudie was amazing...
Harkened me back to Pepp, Favre and Bradford too.

"F**K YEAH!" was my exact reaction, then accompanied by a little dance in a circle, and fist pump......followed by a smiling "Babe!" reminder for me to watch my language in front of the kids... Touche, Mrs. Clanzo... Touche...
Case is one slippery eel himself--he ducked the rush and sidestepped to find his open Wr numerous times---great job Dude

Murray has been everything I hoped he'd be...punishing at times and deceptively slippery at others. He's been unsung during this run with Case, Adam and Stefon getting all the pub. I for one am damn glad we have him!
Murray....Murray....Murray! ;-)
Thought Case was excellent in this game. Big step for a division game, getting better and making good decisions. I really liked what I saw in this game.
I do not recall another qb that seems to have the pocket awareness he has. It isn't just the line. He knows when and how to step forward in the pocket and when to release the ball.
He has a little fire in him too.
I really hope he finishes the year and takes the Vikes to the promiseland.
I'd settle for him as our starter going forward.
Per these colleges records, he is no stranger to throwing the rock. Perhaps Houston and the Rams were not patient enough to let him develop. Hopefully he continues to get better for us. Going to be an interesting off season for the Viking Front Office and the QB position.

I may get stoned for this by fans, but his running around reminds me of a #10 who used to wear purple.
