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

[Scottie Drippin]

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

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

Missed two years with knee surgeries. That, plus gimmick offense, and subpar measurables = non-drafred.

where Timmy Chang, Colt Brenan or the rest of them Texas Tech qbs at?

Yeah dude was in college for 6 years and was 24 with no upside(as a prospect) coming into the draft.

I always knew he was nice tho

Thielen & Diggs make life easier no doubt, but I've seen Keenum step up on 3rd down all year. constantly made a subtle move to buy time and hit someone in those spots. He can play.

His biggest issue is the bomb that goes off in his head and makes him self destruct for whatever reason. did it in that Carolina game with some goofball dead duck INTs, did it yesterday on the INT that got New Orleans rolling.

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.

And McMahon only threw 100 TDs along with 90 INTs in about 100 games. Don’t let that SB season fool. They won despite him. He was faaaaar from the reason they won (only 15TDs).

Young had to sit and learn how to be a QB in the league and even then, dude took a crazy number of sacks.

Most guys like Keenum don't get enough chances after a couple years of development.

Brennan played for Hawaii under June Jones, a run & shoot offense.

@ this. Young had nobody in Tampa. He showed out in the USFL. He was always God tier behind Montana. They never lost a beat when he'd come in.

Undrafted but has earned 7 mil in 5 years .......... if that aint due to whiteness.... then....

John Okorn threw for 30 tds at Houston.

I was just about to post this, i just knew one of them would make it, but nope, especially with colt taking Hawaii to the bcs bowl

Honestly it depends where you get drafted and the opportunities you get that determines a lot

Brennan had an outstanding preseason for the Redskins, he had a game where he threw over 400 yards. But he was sidelined with a season ending injury. He also had off the field problems, he had a brain injury/concussion issues

None of that has to do with whether he could play QB.

 

[JLova]

Case is a classic Trent Edwards checkdown qb.

No he isn't.

Plenty of bums in the league balled the fukk out in College. Case is in a good situation. Decent QB's in good situations can be successful. Alex Smith rings a bell.

The question is why is it 'surprising' ...
