Likely to get a better QB than Case, we need to draft another one... Which I'm on board with. Retain Case (ballooned one year deal) and draft a rookie QB and hope for the best, get 2 compensatory picks for Teddy and Bradford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want him to be, I'm using the information available to me: Teddy's career (film and statistics), Keenum's career, Keenum's current performance and stats, and indications from local reporting that Teddy looks good, perhaps better than before in practice. So the final piece is what you or I cannot do, which is evaluate him in practice. Regardless, based on what's in front of me, it still feels like an easy conclusion: Teddy is the better QB. I admit bias tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has played very well this year, and just lit up our defense a few weeks ago, and last week should have won against NO. He is playing behind a makeshift line, and not much for weapons. He might not cost us much more than Teddy or Case. What do ya'all think? I don't see Washington letting him go regardless of what has transpired. But of course he should be better then any QB on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrynoid Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 If nothing else, we sure have gotten a steal with Keenum's salary; isn't it like 2 mil this year? He has WAY outperformed much pricier FA acquisitions this season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I don't know 100% (neither do you), but I think he's choosing to ride the hot hand. Makes sense I guess, but I'd perfer to see that the two are splitting 1st team reps and the decision is based on the winner of said of competition. That doesn't seem to be what's happening however.

But would you want them to split repetitions in practice, and thus hinder both from getting the reps they need if they were to start? The next few weeks should be quite interesting, to say the least.

And yet you fail to come in here and show us any evidence that Bridgewater is the better option. The coaching staff is working with both players and know a lot more then all of us. Them sticking with Keenum is very telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I and many others have made that case over and over in this thread, you're free to search through and find. Appeal to authority all you want but head coaches, yes even Zim, aren't infallible; see Tyrod Taylor and the Buffalo Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
