Eheh. You mean a rookie had a couple of bad games? Hell, they gave KJ 2 years to figure it out - that's what being a first rounder buys you - plenty of OJT....
Ya, I'm not giving up on him, yet. I want to see if he continues to regress or can turn it around before the year is out. Everyone should admit he's in a tough situation.... The coach is probably going to get fired and I'm not sure he's behind him 100%, O-line sucks, receivers can't catch. He's got a QB coach, an OC and Head Coach all "working him".....
Seems like some expect "sensational" all the time.... QB's have bad days (duh)....Look around the league - all QB's have bad performances, the really good and experienced ones keep the stink to a minimum...
They should keep Keenum in the rest of year just for the fact he's not a big INT guy (today's INT really shouldn't count, but it does). If memory serves, he was that way in college, too - low INT's... If someone wants to discuss his "almost INT's", well, just like a close team loss, a close INT doesn't count....
