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....

So "almost" INTs don't count where he throws it right to the other team, but actual INTs don't count either if they are the WRs fault? Can't really have it both ways.
I think he has played ok considering circumstances. But we are 0-5 when he starts. We score less than 20 a game when he starts (near the league bottom). We average around 5 points per 2nd half when he plays. And all of these stats are declining (except w/l which can't get worse).
I appreciate the effort, the fun, and the hope he's brought after Schaub threw up all over this season, but nothing about his performance says pass on a QB you like. I think you draft like he doesn't exist. That doesn't mean force a QB, but don't pass on one because you've got a guy who can be a top 20 NFL QB under the right circumstances.
