Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
He'll never get to play.
Yates is light years ahead of him.
He'll eventually get waived or sign with someone else next season if that.
Good. He'll probably compete with Yates in the near future.
Intercepted 5 times in 603 attempts with 71% completion rate last season.
For the love of God people, Keenum threw the ball with more velocity than T.J. Yates.
Quit regurgitating nonsense about arm strength..

I wanted us to sign Kellen Moore, but I'm happy with Case Keenum too. Honestly though, I don't think he'll stick around. I've been reading up scout reports and it seems as though his lack of arm strength really affects his accuracy.
Yes, arm strength is overrated. But when it affects his accuracy, there's a problem.

Keenum has more arm strength than Moore, is a better athlete, is a better QB. Moore was outstanding at Boise, but he's not a pro QB. Keenum I think can make it as a backup, due to his underrated athletic ability and moxie.I wanted us to sign Kellen Moore, but I'm happy with Case Keenum too.

What would it be like to be drafted by the Houston Texans? I wouldnt mind it all. Just moving from Scott Street down to Kirby Street. Its a deal where Ive met with Coach (Gary) Kubiak and the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator. Ive gotten to know them quite well. I love that entire organization.
Despite a record-setting career at Houston, NFL scouts have been leery of Cougars QB Case Keenum.
There have been questions about his level of competition, his arm strength as well as his ability to make plays in the pocket.
He showed the ability to do all three in this 80-yard bomb to Patrick Edwards at the end of the first half of the 2012 TicketCity Bowl against a top-ranked Penn State defense:
Undersized, lacks arm strength, system QB..... Drew Brees had all of that said about him too.

if our 3rd team QB has to play we are in trouble.
I hope the 2nd teamer only plays in mop up duty, when we are up by 30 points
woo-hoo.... That's the cherry on top of this draft.Mark Berman ‏ @MarkBermanFox26

I'll take game-time performance over drills anytime.
This makes me happy. I hope he does well.

There is no tangible impediment to Keenum making it in the NFL. All that stuff that gets regurgitated is just the standard parroted bull**** that people read and repeat. It just takes one writer or blogger to start it.
It's really all about whether or not he's got it upstairs and if he's that kind of competitor. If he's got what it takes to do it mentally then he has the tools to make it happen. If he doesn't then he could be David Carr for all that it mattered.
He'll get a chance and I hope he can capitalize on it.
It doesn't. Neither did the combine passing drills. Once in a NFL game, even preseason, the real test will begin.That pass went about 45 yards in the air. Not sure how that proves anything.
Hey, I love getting the guy, but that pass traveled max 42 yards in the air (23 to 35). It didn't really show off his arm strength.VIDEO: Case Keenum's 80 Yard Bomb To Patrick Edwards

The NFL had 31 teams when Brees was drafted 32nd overall. That means, by today's standards, he would have been a 1st round draft pick.
What you say about Brees is correct, but to compare Keenum to Brees is a real stretch.
Again, I'm happy to have the hometown kid in the fold, but we probably shouldn't expect a Drew Brees kind of story from him.
Just sayin....
I see pages of screen captures by 76Texan in this thread's future.Hey, I love getting the guy, but that pass traveled max 42 yards in the air (23 to 35). It didn't really show off his arm strength.
Kid was a gutsy winner, he'll find a way to stick..
(and McNair just got about 32K new fans.
Prolly need to put VY on suicide alert now, though..

Personally, I'm hoping he doesn't have to be rushed in like Colt McCoy and that he gets to develop on the practice squad.
Good! Maybe we could get VY and JJ to commit suicide together.
