Any chance we see Keenum play Sunday?

[jap]

We can always turn to our Pro Bowl QB, Johnny Hekker.

 

[Faceplant]

Wow, week 2 and we are discussing whether or not to play our FOURTH QB.......this does not bode well my Rams brothers....not at all. That said, if Hill can't go, and if AD can't show us anything resembling consistency, then why not see what Case can do.

 

[den-the-coach]

I have to admit, i'm very curious to see Keenum suit up and play.

Why? Keenum is smaller than Davis with similar arm strength....I just don't understand what anybody sees in a guy that was 0-7 as a starter last year. I remember when he came in against the Rams and I knew then the game was over and he threw a pic six to Olgetree...I do understand he's a gamer, however, to me he's just like Austin Davis and I still don't understand for the life of me why the Rams did not claim Ryan Griffin from the Saints.

Was that not TJ Yates?

 

[Athos]

I'd rather Keenum run 5 pays well than Davis run the entire O poorly.

Ain't that the truth. Just give Keenum 10 plays to learn and learn well.

5 runs plays, 5 pass plays. Or just throw it up to Quick/Britt every time.

Davis worries me greatly.

That was TJ Yates, not Keenum. Keenum 1st 2 games were vs playoff teams KC and Indy where he threw for a combined 620 yards with 4 td and 0 picks. 1 point loss on the road in his first start to an undefeated KC team (at the time) and then a defensive melt down to Indy where the D couldnt hold an 18 point lead late in the game.
If Austin Davis did anything remotely close to that in his career, you'd see some more confidence in him.
The idea that he's only been on the team the last 2 years because of injury to Bradford, and he was awful last week certainly leave room for doubt.

That said, 3 QB on active roster this week? Ugh....

No. I hope not. If we do something very bad has happened.

 

[ZigZagRam]

It'll be Keenum by half-time. Hopefully he leads an amazing comeback to begin the next chapter of winning football in the St. Louis Rams history books.

Wow, that makes me feel a lot better about Keenum. That said, Hill needs to stay healthy as he gives the Rams the best chance to win.

I just think he's got something. Call it a hunch. Keenum was in the worst possible situation last season. The majority of that team had just mailed it in and i liked how Keenum tried to make plays despite being thrown into the fire like he was.

As for our situation well i realize that Shaun Hill is probably the guy who gives us the best chance to win(i get that) but if he misses time well...we're talking about which 3rd string QB should play at that point. We've seen a lot of Davis in the preseason. A lot. Then we saw him get thrown to the wolves last week and struggle to move the chains.

Bottom line for me is this Den:
Bradford is OUT
If Hill goes OUT or is ineffective and the wins don't start by week 5 this season is lost at that point. Davis has been in the system awhile. He hasn't done anything to distinguish himself and Snead even went out and drafted another project with G.Gilbert.

I want to see what the Keenum kid can do with better talent around him than he had last year in 7 gm's with a Houston team that had quit.

 

[SaCkaveli20]

I don't think it matters who's at QB, We don't have any good ones on the roster anyways.

 

[CGI_Ram]

If Hill can't play, I kind of hope so. Wish Keenum had been with us all off-season. IMO, he'd be playing over Davis. I don't think Keenum is great but Davis just has so many issues. I'm hoping for the best, though.

I am rooting for Davis, but I see the same. Ugh!

 

[Ramhusker]

Well, Keenum was slow picking up Houston's playbook so is ours any easier to learn? Let's hope so.

 

[Irish]

If Keenum sees a lot of time as a number one QB for the Rams this year, Fisher may have to revisit his whole "we will never be picking second again" thing

 

[den-the-coach]

I get it sir, but I just don't see it at best I see Kellen Clemens and it took Clemens years to get to where he is now. Believe me I would love this kid to be special, but I truly wished they passed on him and claimed the bigger, stronger Ryan Griffin from the Saints instead!

 

[rams56]

I don't think Davis is a finished product by any means......his first snaps in a live NFL game were last week..... much like a rookie.... let's see what he does when he gets his next chance. Sure he has issues and the least starting experience on this team..... but if the game slows down for him..... he shows greater command of this offense and this team and he helps us win..... then our QB depth just gets stronger....And as long as we win.... I don't care who is at QB this year......Go Rams.....

 

[Boston Ram]

I think it makes sense to get Keenum in there in some capacity. Maybe its for a series at some point in the game. Let him take a few snaps. Maybe the 3rd series of the game.

Im probably in the minority but I think Davis can get it done. He has a full week to prepare, his game is more geared to moving around a little so hopefully they put him in a position to do that.

Kellen Clemens? I don't think any QB that's ever played in the NFL has been at best Kellen Clemens, let's not be ridiculous. As for him or Griffin, give me the guy with actual game time experience, helps me sleep better at night.

 

[DaveFan'51]

If Keenum can Play well, with a screwed up team, like Houston was last year, I think he could do pretty good with what the Rams have! But I still want to see Hill in their this week!!

 

[DaveFan'51]

Maybe I'm crazy, but if Hill doesn't practice and Davis gets most of thje reps. ( which he may not be) I think he can play better than he has ,however if he stinks the first half up , what's to lose?

Fisher was asked, on his talk show, if he's ever 'Pulled a QB' from a game in his coaching career, and he said "MAYBE" once. So the BIG question is would Fisher pull him!?
