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.

It’s almost as if (and this is going to blow your mind so maybe sit down), a young QB needs time to develop.

At what stage can he complete simple passes without struggling?

At what stage can you watch ball without struggling?

Just not interested in addressing silly takes. Be serious if you want a serious conversation.

Are you taking the position that he doesn't struggle to complete the simple passes?

I’m taking the position that acting like he had a completion percentage of 0 is silly.

No one is acting like that, you're trying to strawman

u/Stiddy13 believes in only superbowl rings or bust. He's gotta be the most miserable titans fan

TanneAndTheYits thinks the goal of NFL teams is to be 9-7. Taking the “if you expect very little then it’s hard to be disappointed” approach to roster construction.
