I'm not saying it's unlikely to happen at the end of the year, I'm saying that I would prefer that they just do it now, so at least that portion would be settled.

SemperFeist Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 What would be the incentive for Keenum to sign an extension? He’s all but guaranteed to get a top backup level contract, but if he continues to play well, he might find someone willing to give him a shot at starting.

That's also why it's unlikely...there is no incentive for him to do so at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was asked to name the No. 1 trait he thinks a backup quarterback must have to succeed. Rodgers: “I think it’s confidence. You need to be able to step in the huddle and have guys believe in you. I’ve been around Case. I really enjoy him. He’s one of my favorite guys we had in the workout group we had for a while when he was in L.A. He’s done a really good job for them and he exudes that confidence I was talking about. When he gets in there, they’re really not missing a beat as far as tempo and what they’re trying to do.” http://www.startribune.com/the-recruitment-of-case-keenum-how-the-vikings-keenum-partnership-materialized/450920953/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Today’s game is what I think we can expect out of Keenum on a long term basis. He made some very good, and key throws, but he also threw some dangerous ones, and a couple of times didn’t read the defense correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 He needs to get us through Baltimore and Cleveland. After that hopefully Teddy is under center. I’ve been very pleased with Keenum as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been very pleased with Keenum as a backup. That would be a reasonable time line. Keenum has been okay but it might take some time for Teddy to get to Keenums level. He hasn't played in awhile.

Heimdallr Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Teddy hasn't had full practice, but we know he has been working out and throwing balls for a while, and you know he has been watching just as much film as ever. Just a matter of taking some hits, getting his confidence back, and picking up some chemistry with the rest of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimdallr Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Just now, Klomp said: That won't be happening in practice.... I guess not, but if I was a coach I'd want him smacked around a little before going into a full speed game. Both so he gets used to it again and isn't scared going out there, and to make sure he can actually hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klomp Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Something that hasn't really been discussed that we've seen, especially this week: 17 yards on 3rd and 15 22 yards on 3rd and 11 16 yards on 3rd and 10 Also drew a 12-yard PI on 3rd and 8. That's three long third down conversions, none of them by checking down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I’d be interested to see a stat for YAC per completion, and compare it between Keenum, Bradford, and Bridgewater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it Moxy, being ballsy, luck, or whatever you want, but he isn't a checkdown guy, and after what we've had in some way with Teddy, and definitely with Bradford, it's been a breath of fresh air.
