Only way Case was getting pulled today was for Teddy to play in garage time today, if it went that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we be concerned? I'd like to see the Vikes play the best roster they can against the Rams, can't afford turning the ball over against an offense this potent. Best roster (at the moment) includes Case, so I agree. Case is completely on the same page with Adam and Stephan and Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 ESPN Stats & InfoVerified account @ESPNStatsInfo Case Keenum is the first Vikings player with 4 Pass TD in a game since Teddy Bridgewater in 2015. The last VIkings quarterback with 4 Pass TD on the road was Brett Favre, who did it in 2009, in his first game back at Lambeau FIeld as a visitor.

Klomp Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 So, I asked Keenum, what was it like for you all week knowing that everyone in Minnesota, and many other places, want to see the Bridgewater return happen theatrically … and very soon. “I have been preparing for this situation the whole year,” Keenum said. “I didn’t do an interview last year in L.A. without being asked about [rookie first-round pick] Jared Goff. So I get it. I am a huge Teddy fan. First, he’s just a beautiful thrower. I’ve got tremendous respect for him. He’s an instrumental part of our quarterback room, and all he’s been is helpful. A great teammate. I have had a serious knee injury. I know what he’s going through. But mostly, I’m able to compartmentalize it. I just figure, hey, it’s like I’ve got a buddy who owns a Ferrari, and he’s out of town, and he’s letting me drive it. So as long as they leave me the keys, I’m gonna keep driving this car.” https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/11/12/case-keenum-minnesota-vikings-washington-redskins-teddy-bridgewater-mmqb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakish Mind Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 This is Case Keenum's team right now. There's no way we bench him at this point of the season with where we are at. He has too much chemistry with his receivers and O line right now to pull him and go with a big question mark back there. Unless he does a complete 180 with his gameplay over the next few games. You leave him in there, your coach comes out and says that you are the top dog right now and won't be operating on a short leash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenum hasn't proven himself over the long term to not have a short leash. It's just life as a backup QB. I still think it's Teddy's team based on the history the guy has here, Keenum is doing well in his role though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 Quarterback Case Keenum is enjoying the best year of his career. Operating on a one-year, $2 million deal, Keenum will have plenty of options for 2018. He hopes to stay right where he is, however. Keenum: “I love it here. I love these guys. My wife and I love it here.” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/11/12/case-keenum-wants-to-stay-with-vikings/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a high end backup who might be able to get a starting opportunity for a bottom tier team, but he’s also likely to see that team draft a quarterback who’ll eventually replace him. Money wise, he’s likely going to get the same amount as a high end backup, or low end starter. But a backup contract would likely be for more years and better job security.

Wonder what it would take to bring back both he and Teddy next year? Is Teddy going to accept a performance-laden contract that protects the team from injury?
