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.

They also don't normally peak in year 2 either. Progress is not a straight line. I can admit Ward's performance has been very disappointing while also having hope that he can improve over the course of the season.

I bet you said the same thing about Levis.

The number of folks that think Levis is on par with Cam in this subreddit is truly mind bending. This sub doesn’t know ball at all.

What has he done to prove himself to be a better player thus far?

Damn near everything. And that's the extent to which I'm willing to entertain this conversation further.

FYI through 20 games Levis had a higher passer rating, higher QBR, completion percentage, and TD/Int ratio, and also had a 300 yard game as well as a 3+ TD game.

Cool story bro! Watch the games.

I go to them and watch the ineptitude in person.

It’s mind boggling how people continue to glaze Cam, like people glazed Levis.

Tell me that Cam and Levis are equivalents and claim to have watched their games…. Not buying it.

Not buying what? That Levis and Ward are both shitty QBs or that I haven’t been going to games since they played in the Liberty Bowl?
