He is a bit of a gunslinger, but that never stopped Farve or his detractors early on at least.

Yates has a quick release that is natural & fluid.

He has size & ability to elude the rush.

He also has a solid base of playing in this system which will only improve his chances for success.

I like Tj, but definitely thinks he needs more help...

Right now, we've got a talented team..... Andre, Arian, OD, Casey... he's got play makers out there to help him out, make him look better than what he is.

Playing with a team like this can help build his confidence while he builds his skills.

Then later when the team isn't as stacked with talent, maybe he'll be ready to lead the team, because I think he's got the intangibles an NFL QB needs.

I think Case is more of the kind of guy that will make his team mates look better. Yes, make Andre look better, make Arian look better, make OD & Casey look better.

I'm not saying he is that guy, but what he did at UH leads me to believe he's capable of being that guy. I don't know if he's ready to do it at this time or at this level.

I think we're lucky to have both of them & can't wait to see how this plays out.

Just an FYI. Yesterday, Conference USA announced the winners of the 2011-12 Male Athlete of the Year award..........it was Case Keenum.

Funny that he wins the award on his way out the door to the NFL and his university out the door to the BE next year.

CUSA will probably become the new "forgotten conference"
