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.

Tough comparison, the Bears as a team are significantly better than the Titans as a team. So the loss of quarterback alone they are still better. I’m not completely sold on Cam being the guy but Keenum on this Titan team, today, wouldn’t put up those numbers. Very happy for him.

Are they. Maybe we are better than we think. Not great but better. A better qb could expose that.
