You need to read more carefully.
I said that Hyde was fine; he's just not a franchised back.
I never said Keenum was a franchised QB.
I said he was at least a good stop-gap QB; back then, he was too young to be a journeyman, a status that he had now reached.
I thank you for bringing it up though.
It's a good opportunity for me to clarify things a bit.

So, which one is the franchise QB, and which one is the nothing-more-than a third-string QB?
You tell me.
And Flacco, overall, had the continuity in staying with one team for the most part, except for last year.
Keenum had a new OC pretty much every year, a new offensive line pretty much every year (which were almost always worse than what Flacco had), worse weapons overall, worse defense overall, and worse HCs overall.
