Case Keenum: Career Backup or Something More?

Interesting how different the offense is with these two QBs. With Schaub, it's all five-yard crossing routes (even when we need 10-15 for a first down). With Keenum, it's more ad-libbed and less timing.

I still think I'd rather take Clowney or Matthews at 1-1 then take a QB to develop in Round 2. There's nothing wrong with keeping Schaub or Case and letting the development QB ease his way into the pros instead of being "the guy" in Week 1.

I agree Bob, I'd go Clowney over Matthews for sure, but I agree that I don't like any of the 1-1 QB options.

And I hope Case catches on somewhere like GB next year. I think he can play, but he is almost like a relief pitcher with one great pitch that gets knocked around if he goes through the order twice. He should be a spot starter and save the day in relief guy (Flutie). He struggles when you gameplan for him. Imagine him in GB this year savin gthe Packers season by winning 3 out of 4 when Rodgers goes down. Or having a Hostettler run to a superbowl. I think that is the ceiling for him.
