Pretty cool, thanks for posting this.

I like Keenum. He's not a franchise QB imo, but I think he's an excellent backup who can win games.

Thanks, that was a good watch. I feel a little better about Keenum now, but would still not sold that he is the answer.

Keenum is earning his pay. He will be the stop gap til Mannion/draft pick, is ready.

Keenum seems like a great guy. And he sure has the guts to take a hit, unlike some other former Rams QB.

These QB camps are a bunch of fluff. I don't usually watch them. They don't tell you much of anything.

I watched this again last year when we promoted him to starter. I think if we can surround him with competent WRs and play calling, he can be the guy. Not much I don't like about his game. I will say that when I watched him in Baltimore last year, he had probably his worst game ever. Wind was a factor though. Flacco had issues with it as well, and that dude has one of the biggest arms in the game.

He's a solid guy that you want not only on your roster, but also in the locker room and on the sidelines. He's just that intense and is great for morale. He's clearly not a liability, but I think we all agree he's not someone you build an offense around. That said, we could do much worse than Keenum, and we have. He'd be my #2 guy for as long as he wanted to be. Great, great dude.

I think the interesting thing that Gruden said was "at some point you're gonna get your chance, be ready." Well, it seems like 2016 with the Rams IS without a doubt his chance.

Okay Keenum is affable and everyone would like to sit down and dine and enjoy a glass of Pinot or a cold frosty one, however, I look at Keenum like the young lady you dated that the family liked, your sister got along with and all your friends thought she was super, however, you know she was not the one.

Sometimes you have to move on and it's better for you and her and maybe it's time for the Rams to find the right one and not the almost right one.

He is worth having around. More of a solid backup and hopefully a solid transition to a franchise QB. Rams might be able to win with him with an improved offensive supporting cast and a next level defense.
