Rams claim QB Case Keenum

[TGZ]

I don't know if he's thread-worthy or not, but it's a QB so it's kind of news.

Better than Pryor or Grossman I suppose. Still hoping for Brett Hundley next year.

Anyone seeing this? I heard it from a guy at work. Yes Jim Thomas is reporting the rams were awarded Keenum on waivers.

I really wasn't expecting this.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

I guess he's a veteran now, with 8 starts under his belt. The pickings are pretty slim out there.

Right on the heels of placing Gilbert on the PS, apparently something has to give

I don't know if he's thread-worthy or not

Oh it's definitely thread-worthy.

I'm fine with it. He's young and can be exciting. He's actually played.

 

[Dieter the Brock]

Nice!!!!
Being here in central Texas I see a lot if Texan games and I think the kid can flat out play
Love this move

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

Looking at the stats, he started out hot, then defenses must have read the book on him.

Ryan Fitzpatrick part deux.

Amazing first three games, once teams had some tape, didn't really go too well. Kind of a soft arm, albeit fairly accurate. Leaned on Andre pretty hard.

Maybe it works out if Hill doesn't. Won't hold my breath that he is the QB of the future.

 

[jjab360]

Much better pickup than some of the suggestions that were out there. Actually played pretty well last year, though his stats were inflated a bit by the monster that is Andre Johnson. Is there anyone that watched a few Texans games last year with a little bit more insight?

 

[LazyWinker]

I imagine Austin Davis is gone

 

[TGZ]

That hasn't been announced yet.

 

[Sum1]

I think he looks like a good long term backup. Nice pickup.

 

[A55VA6]

I like it. He proved he could do a decent job while he was in Houston.

 

[TheDYVKX]

I hope Justice Cunningham is cut. Didn't like him from what I saw.

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.
