Case Keenum holds a dozen NCAA records. Why is it 'surprising' that he can throw?

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Yes, it was college. Yes, Houston was a pass heavy offense. Yes, Keenum is listed as 6'1" and 215. But that said he still put in work on that level and is one of the most prolific college athletes of all time.

It's absurd that he went undrafted while some of these QBs with "height" are first and second rounders.

Records below

• Most career pass completions: 1,546
• Most career passing yards: 19,217
• Most career passing touchdowns: 155
• Most career games with 300+ passing yards: 39
• Most games with 300+ passing yards in a single season: 14
• Most seasons passing for 5,000+ yards: 3
• Most seasons passing for 4,000+ yards: 3
• Most career total yards: 20,114
• Most career touchdowns responsible for: 178

Because he came from a gimmick offense

 

[YouMadd?]

All these dudes swear they are experts, but they just regurgitate what the "league" and the "tv analysts" say. Everyone is afraid to have an original thought, even the tv people that everyone follows.

It even goes along with the Jeff Fisher is trash thing that the coli loves right?

Even Im too afraid to go against "popular belief" still and he has been doing shyt like this all season:

Case is a classic Trent Edwards checkdown qb.

there's been QBs in the past from gimmick/pass heavy offenses who have seen success.

Jim McMahon and Steve Young were the grandfathers of the Air Raid offense for example and Young is one of the best QBs of all time. A true dual threat as well.

He's not 6'5 and played for Houston in college

 

[Goat poster]

I was surprised when he went undrafted after all that success at Houston.

I thought his whiteness would at least get him drafted in the last couple rounds.

 

[Rigby.]

He wasn’t that impressive for a good few years, but Minnesota keeps it rolling w QBs

Dakota didn't come from a gimmick offense he came from a power spread at Miss st same as Deshaun

John Okorn threw for 30 tds at Houston.

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

I mean he was due to break out at some point.

Going undrafted is because these NFL GMs go by one science. Its stupid logic but they keep using it year after year and continue to get burned.

 

[Texas2step]

Because he played like trash and look like he didn' have a clue when he played for the Texans. But maybe he is playing better now bc he has more time in the pocket but will revert back, just fools gold for now
