Watching a game or two is not going to take what Case was doing great away, he still has plenty of time to scramble around, he just isnt doing it. And we all know that CBs can only hang with their guys so long, and him buying 5-10 additional seconds is what was allowing his guys to come open deep.
But now he is making it a mute point not to leave the pocket. Kubiak and Dennison both addressed it saying he needed to stay in the pocket, NOW he does even when he shouldnt. Other coaches adapt to what their QBs do great it is why most of "those" guys still have jobs, and team with winning records. But here at the texans we dont want you to be the player you are, we want you to be the prototypical 1991 QB that we want you to be.
This post is absurd & why all the Keenum love was unwarranted from the jump...
Your theory also doesn't hold up simply b/c you're not putting things in perspective or being objective at all.
- His 1st game, Kubiak came out & said he all but had sleepovers with the kid helping him to get ready to play against KC...lots of extra time on top of what he normally does was spent getting him ready.
- I'm sure Kubiak spent just as much time with him, if not more, leading up to the Indy game as well b/c he had 2 weeks to prepare him due to the bye.
These were the games Keenum looked the best in. Coincidentally however, these were also the games where he recieved perhaps the most concentrated amount of coaching from Kubiak/Dennison. So if Kubiak was determined to get Case to stay more in the pocket, we likely would've seen what we're seeing now from him from the jump in those 1st 2 games.
Apart from that, you're completely ignoring a few key things:
1.) For 3 of his 8 starts, Kubiak wasn't even around..
2.) We've been calling a myriad of plays that get him outside of the pocket & even give him the option to run..
3.) His tendency to turn his back to a pass rusher bearing down on him is
highly unorthodox on this level & is the chief cause of these 20 yd sacks....
I'm fairly sure Kubiak/Dennison aren't/weren't doing these things to prevent him from utilizing his skill set. & in the case of #3, I know they're not teaching him that..... for that precise reason.
