## HBO ‘Hard Knocks’ Episode 3: Making a case for Case Keenum

seems to be the folks in LA are slowly coming around to realizing the value of Case Keenum…if he wins a few games to start the season they will probably forget about Goff for awhile.
I hate how Case is treated like a dead man walking. It’s obvious they want Goff to start ASAP. I get it, you don’t pay all that money to not have your QB play, but still, gIve Case a season and some protection and watch him excel.
I look at it like a Drew Brees/Chris Chandler situation.
Brees toiled for the Chargers after being drafted, but was about to be run out of town when they drafted Phillip Rivers in the 1st round. Rivers wasn’t ready to start right away and Brees had a very good last season in San Diego as he took the Chargers to the playoffs. His success led to a nice contract in New Orleans where he became a star and eventually won a championship.
Chandler parlayed 2 years of decent-to-good play for the Oilers (and Jeff Fisher) while they got Steve McNair ready into a nice contract from Atlanta. Chandler then helped lead the Falcons to the Super Bowl 2 years later and started for 5 years in Atlanta.
As long as the Rams don’t completely collapse this year, Case will probably start the entire year. If he does, there’s a good chance he gets a starting gig somewhere else next year. Too many teams that need QBs.
