Rbgb Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) I AM IN A 2QB LEAGUE Wondering how long this train will keep chugging. A WW pick up for my Wentz bye has turned into my starter for the past 3 weeks and with the mess going on at Buffalo and Palmer unlikely to return and Luck much more unlikely to return I'm left with the 3rd stringer for ROS. Fortunately for me it couldn't have come at a better time averaging 27.5pts over the past 3 games. I'm hoping they ride him out the rest of the year and play it safe with Bridgewater.

michaelredd9 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) Keenum has truly been a Bridge over troubled Water. He has completed 66.1% of his passes, has 14 touchdowns against only 5 interceptions, and has been sacked an absurdly low 7 times. He would have to have 3 or 4 bad games in a row for Mike Zimmer to even consider benching him. Even then he probably wouldn't get benched for a middling talent quarterback that hasn't played since 2015. The Vikings are going to have a very difficult decision next year choosing who is going to be their starting quarterback. I think I would re-sign Keenum and have Teddy be backup.

Gopher Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Given that the next two games are pretty tough road contests, Keenum would have to play pretty poorly for Zimmer to even consider replacing him. In other words, I think they could lose to both CAR and ATL, and Keenum would most likely still keep the starting job. It may not take four bad outings for him to be in danger of losing his job, but it would take more than two road losses against likely playoff-bound teams. The last thing Minnesota needs is to be the next Buffalo Bills. As in, don't ruin a good thing by making an unnecessary change (if it ain't broke, don't fix it). All of that said, Keenum is bound to have a dud of a game sooner or later. So, while keeping the job may be an almost certainty in the near future, that doesn't necessarily mean fantasy-production will come with it.

stevegrab Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Amazing how some teams find talented players that go undrafted, other teams cannot even have 1st round picks with moderate success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbgb Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) He started the year 3rd string? Why would he have been drafted? My ESPN app has him as a Waiver Wire pickup for Week 13. Its like who the hell hasn't picked him up yet? But I hear ya @stevegrab my team has been one injury after another. Naw Buffalo has dibs on Fisher That picture though with Goff whispering into Keenums ear. OH GAWD! Hilarious!

Keenum was undrafted, how is he suddenly so good and holding off a late first round pick that was progressing nicely before the injury.

loaf Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) the last two weeks, in my league, Wentz has scored 23, 29 while Keenum's been at 19 and 31...not that big of a difference it's ballsy though Edited November 29, 2017 by loaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either one could take from that I have multiple teams with all the same QBs or that I'm talking about that league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 it doesn't say 2QB in your sig that I can find. QB: Luck, Wentz, Taylor, Palmer RB: Bell, Gurley, Hunt, D. Martin, D. Woodhead WR: OBJ, Hilton, Hopkins, Robinson, Landry, Thielen, Moncrief, T. Williams, M. Williams, M. Jones TE: Walker, Hooper, Doyle D: Cardinals K: Vinatieri 4th yr dynasty(8 team) 0.5PPR 1st Place 14' & 15' 2nd Place 16' regardless, long sigs with your team in them, I just scroll past without reading. Mentioning 2QB is much more effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbgb Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 You're right...It used to. Oh well. At the end of the day its not a big deal, is it? This was more of a thread to see how long Keenum is going to be active, not whether I should start Keenum over other players. WHile I did mention that, it was mostly me writing off players. I never wrote off Wentz so I guess I just assumed people would know Wentz was my guaranteed starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct not a big deal, but I did look at your signature before I posted that to see if many it said. Still not that likely every reads your signature. Nothing wrong with the discussion you started, but just trying to explain why people reacted that way when it appeared you were saying you were starting Keenum over Wentz. To avoid that confusion a simple 2QB somewhere in the post would suffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I don't know...hindisight tell's us that Keenum has performed nearly the same as Wentz over the last several weeks. I just can't imagine being on the front end of those decisions, and choosing Keenum over Wentz: At the time of your post last week: Week 11 Wentz vs a reeling Dallas or Keenum vs Rams? I find it hard to think you started Keenum. Week 12 Wentz at home vs Chicago or Keenum @ DET? Again, heading into the week, I find it hard to think you opted to start Keenum here. Now, maybe Week 13 you start Keenum vs ATL over Wentz at SEA, but that would be about it. I can't imagine ever having benched Wentz at any other point this season.

Rbgb Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) Wasn't trying to be. Was just making it stand out, because like you said. Its easy to miss in all of the text and people generally scroll from the top to the bottom. Not even sure how this digressed to starting Keenum over Wentz. All I was wondering was how long people thought Keenum was going to be solid for because my other options aren't too great and Teddy Bridgewater was back. Not trying to be a d-bag. Not trying to be obnoxious. Just trying to get back on topic. He obviously read enough to come up with starting Keenum over Wentz as this isn't the subject of this thread.

stevegrab Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Really its all good I think, but maybe some explanation helps understand why it went wrong. The correction I did not noticed you had edited the original first post, I doubt LordOpie did either. So good job. Most people start with new posts to the thread, so if we read it before (we did) we don't see the edit just the new post, and I didn't notice that was a quote of the first post. Keenum over Wentz The opening post without meniont of 2QB can easily be misunderstood to say you added Keenum to cover Wentz bye then he became your regular starter. You didnt say start over Wentz but most leagues are 1QB, so that was what we assumed. Hard for you to understand our confusion because you know what's going on already.
