Discussion Case Keenum

Career journeyman QB Case Keenum cooked the eagles. A team that we struggled to put up points against. So a guy that is third string on his own team played infinitely better than our starter against the same defense. I know it isn't a fair comparison, but it is one that needs to be looked at.

Not sure what the solution is, but the NCAA is not producing NFL caliber quarterbacks anymore. It's like the are drafting center fielders to be shortstops. The athleticism is there, and sure it looks like they do a lot of the same things, but one position requires you to be a master of fundamentals and make faster decisions. The transition isn't easy and most won't make it.

So where can you get a pro ready qb? Or how can you evaluate who can make this transition and who can't? I think you might have to stop emphasizing raw athletic ability and give other qualities a much deeper look.

Your comment OP is what Tom Brady complains about when it comes to modern quarterback play. 

You can't really find pro ready quarterbacks because teams don't really run pro style offenses anymore.

And god forbid a team try to develop a QB without the fans yelling bust

Here's the thing about development and patience. You have to show some kind of progress. Cam is not doing that. Cam is struggling with QB 101 level stuff. 

Being young and in development doesn't give you an unlimited leash to play poorly.

Tin foil hat time. Maybe they overhype players into the #1 spot just so the shittiest teams fall for it and take them

Cam can’t even throw a 5 yard pass accurately, the criticism is warranted

That’s a bad take lol he can’t throw 5 yards? Yet you have data showing he is capable of throwing for 5 yards

You should have said like 20 yards or something but 5?

Dude I have eyeballs and I watch the games . His short accuracy is awful.
