Rams claim QB Case Keenum

[HE WITH HORNS]

I imagine Austin Davis is gone

Not likely, the new kid wouldn't have a clue how to run the offense yet.
This guy is here to compete with Davis I'm thinking.

Not an exciting move but I'm glad we have a little more depth.

 

[Yamahopper]

Maybe the best fit for the Rams right now. Lets hope he never takes a snap except in lopsided Rams wins.

You might be right. I'm not the most forward thinking person.

I think it's a good move. Rick Dennison (Keenum's former OC) is a Shanahan disciple, who also employs a strong run game with zone blocking to set up crossing routes and play-action shots down the field like Schottenheimer. He's also got more pro experience than Davis. I remember watching Keenum a little last year and I wasn't unimpressed. IMO, he jumps right to the #2 spot behind Hill.

BOOOOOOOO!

Now that's a QB who started out well, then grew exponentially worse as Ds adapted and he didn't. Granted, he was playing for sucktastic Texans, who probably realized they should probably tank to get the BPA anyway, but damn....Dude had Nuke Hopkins and Johnson still to throw to and blew chunks.

I say we keep an eye on the packers QB cuts. Tolzien and Flynn? That's not too bad.

Here's a thread in a Texans forum on Case Keenum. It's 23 pages long and a mixed bag of opinions if you wish to wade through it(don't have time to do that at the moment). Often times the fan base has a better read on a player than the sports writers.

This post on the last thread tells us what we already know, that Case Keenum is now a Ram.

I'm hearing that the Rams claimed him.

Rams claimed QB Case Keenum on waivers, per team official. Rams spent a lot time researching Keenum past 24 hours.

lol a 23 page on thread on Case freakin Keenum? Woooow.

Case Keenam arrives in StL as the No. 3 QB behind Shaun Hill and Austin Davis.

Here's an article about how Case Keenum wasn't given a chance with the Texans this past offseason

So Johnson who's past his prime and and a rookie in Hopkins.

He wasn't throwing to Bruce and Holt there.

wow....not impressed....not even a lil bit...as I've said before, Freeman has thrown for 4000 yards in a season....26 TD's....in a season....started 3 years....don't see the problem..

Maybe he would cost too much money being a veteran free agent. The Keenum guy is on a super cheap deal I think.

Keenum is much better then Flynn. Maybe Tolzien too.

Based on his lack of success since then and the inability to hold a job, it looks like a lot of NFL GMs see a problem.
