For the life of me I don't get the Keenum trade, even with Colt coming off injury and not knowing how the draft was going to unfold. I wouldn't have pulled the trigger on that. Like Schneed has in his signature, if you don't know who the best QB of the three you have are, you don't have a QB. I would have been splitting reps between Colt and Haskins 50% a piece, and had some 3rd stringer on the team too, but I wouldn't have traded for Keenum just to have him taking 33% of the first team reps.

Haskins wasn't a sure thing at that point. Smith definitely wasn't coming back anytime soon and McCoy was coming off a serious injury himself. The team had to upgrade the qb position immediately anyway they could. They get a guy who took his team to the NFC championship game the year prior in a dream trade. We can argue Keenum all day long. But, at least give the guy a fair chance. We aren't even to the 1st preseason game yet.

Why? We got a veteran backup that can start if needed for $3.5M. At the time we had a bare cupboard at QB coming off a disastrous year at the position.

I would have just signed someone if it came down to that. Maybe I am thinking too little of Case but I really equate him to that of a 3rd string QB, excluding the one year he had the best WR duo in football

Yes but they had to move out of the 6th round. Not a huge deal but not worth it IMO. Who knows, that pick could end up being a high 6th rounder. Keenum was going to get released. Why sacrifice draft position for a journeymen QB who was going to get cut? Yes that would have possibly brought in competition for his services but who would we be competing against? Maybe the Cards? Just another worthless, stupid trade by Allen. He simply doesn't know who to make trades in the least bit.

I completely agree with you. What do we have Case for? He's just a JOURNEYMAN QB who has been on FIVE different teams. Does anyone honestly think he is going to come here and light this place up? Our OL is really in trouble without TW. Everyone can tell me that Penn went to the Pro Bowl twice. The guy is 36 years old!!

We're rebuilding our OL, if TW doesn't come back.

We're rebuilding or WR group, after letting ANOTHER 1,000 yd slot WR go to another team.

Case Keenum keeps Haskins from getting reps. Reps he needs NOW, because as long as Colt is the #1 QB Colt is going to be working with the #1 team. Once the regular season starts, the backup QB gets NO reps at all. Then after we lose five games straight, they're going to throw Haskins in there to keep the fans coming to games.
