Re: How confident are you in Case Keenum in the playoffs?
Keenum has proven he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Mr. Forbath on the other hand.... that's what keeps me up at night and you know he'll need to make at least one critical kick.

I agree although he's been good lately other than the 55 yarder they had him try.S197 wrote:Keenum has proven he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Mr. Forbath on the other hand.... that's what keeps me up at night and you know he'll need to make at least one critical kick.

Re: How confident are you in Case Keenum in the playoffs?
Keenum makes me nervous in that he's not flawless but that's not really fair. He's somewhere between the way I feel before Forbath kicks and the way I feel when Sherels is about to catch a punt. I wouldn't want any other QB taking his place in the playoffs. Whatever his shortcomings are he has been part of this team's success. More than that though, he's earned it. He's got my confidence.

Re: How confident are you in Case Keenum in the playoffs?
Found a spreadsheet I did at the end of last year. It shows that the NFL average for YAC makes up 46.1% of a QB total yardage. Now unless Keenum is depending on 65%, I'm not going to be concerned about it.Raptorman wrote:One of his talking points is YAC. So I posted this on another forum that discussed the same article.
Top 10 in YACCode: Select all
1 T. Gurley II LAR 811 2 L. Bell PIT 688 3 A. Kamara NO 662 4 C. McCaffrey Car 572 5 G. Tate Det 555 6 D. Johnson Jr. Cle 548 7 M. Ingram NO 496 8 C. Thompson Was 483 9 J. McKinnon Min 476 10 A. Brown PIT 471
So, 1,158 yards(26.7%) of Drew Brees 4,334 yards of passing goes to two players running after they caught the ball. Anyone have a story talking about Brees being a paper tiger? Or for that matter Ben Roethlisberger?

Well after two games the QB with the best stat line - Alex Smith - 24-33, 264 YDS, 2 TD, 0 INT, is on the losing team.
The winning QBs today, Matt Ryan and Marcus Mariota, threw for 218 and 205 yards, respectively, with Ryan throwing 1 TD and Mariota throwing 2.

Interesting story on Kennum using VR during they year.

As a result, Keenum has had thousands of additional mental reps. In total since he took over starting duties in Week 2, Keenum has viewed 2,647 plays through virtual reality, which translated to him getting to review every play the Vikings have run this season two to three times from a mental standpoint over the course of the year, according to STRIVR’s tracking data.

That's pretty cool. Hopefully it translates to the field this Sunday.Raptorman wrote:Interesting story on Kennum using VR during they year.

Re: How confident are you in Case Keenum in the playoffs?
Watching the College Championship game last night made me think. If Keenum is laying an egg in the first half. I mean seriously looks like the moment has gotten the best of him. Forcing throws, feeling phantom pressure, missing wide open targets. Would you try and create a spark by inserting Bradford or Bridgewater? That was a ballsy move by Saban.

Re: How confident are you in Case Keenum in the playoffs?
It's an interesting question. I think the likeliest outcomes for Case would be missing open targets, turnovers and/or reluctance to pull the trigger (holding the ball too long) out of fear of making a mistake. If we see a stat line going into the half that's something like 6/14; 106 yards; 1/2 INTs; 0 TDs, I think you have to consider making a change. Part of me thinks that Case has earned the chance to get back in the game. But there's a larger part that knows Sam's natural talent and Teddy's composure, leadership and late-game prowess. I think I would reluctantly make the change and hope for a spark but I don't think Zimmer would.808vikingsfan wrote:Watching the College Championship game last night made me think.
