HOU-TEX
Ah, Football!
Me too, but imo, it's like picking the worst looking turd of the bunch. In the end, they're all still going to be turds

I knew TJ was likely the odd guy out...he was the guy least freshest in everyone's mind in terms of play on the field....he was the guy everyone says had the least upside. The 2 reasons above also didn't jive well with the fact that he was to be the 2nd highest paid qb on the roster. No brainer really.

I'm glad it turned out this way. I like Case a lot & think he has a future as a backup & the potential to be a starter someday. However, I don't think he's out of the woods just yet. Depending upon who gets released, Case could still be let go later. He's on the bubble right now & can't let up even a little bit yet.

Thanks for posting. The young man demonstrates honest insight.
It's one of the very important character trait that I saw in Keenum that I like.
On the field, of the field.
From my observation, he's never shown a displeasure of a blocker missing a block or a receiver dropping a pass or running a different route than he anticipates.
In every interview, even in college, he always took the brunt.
It's never "we can play better"; it's always " I should play better".
With that attitude, even if he doesn't become a starter in the NFL, I believe he will contribute to society.
I agree with you on Keenum.
Even though Keenum becoming a great QB means more to me than his contributions to society. LOL
He will do just fine after he's thru with the NFL. Probably will become a HS/College HC.

I got this one WAAAAY wrong. I thought Keenum would be gone for sure.
While I didn't feel that either TJ or Case were BOB's kind of guys, I thought that BOB would take Yates over Keenum, given Yates playoff experience.
Meh, sometimes I like being wrong.

On yesterday's Koch & Kalu Pat Starr reported that Fitz & Savage were getting most of the snaps during OTAs, Case & Tj were alternating days when they took snaps & days when they didn't.
The deck seems stacked against the Coog.

Looks like they don't care too much for Fitzpatrick........no more than 6 wins in any season he was a starter.
Another interesting point they brought out. That million dollar roster bonus that AJ lost increases our cap by a million, if it is not renegotiated if AJ returns.

Technically this is still in play. Keenum could still be the player that is waived since Yates was traded. Lets see how it plays out in preseason.

Hmmm...
That takes for granted that Fitzpatrick is something other than what he has been in the past, that Keenum is what he has been in the past, and the Texans pick up someone on the waiver wire that they think can be brought up to snuff in a timely fashion to surpass Keenum, or that they will choose to only keep 2 QBs (not likely).
HOU-TEX
Ah, Football!
I think there's a very good chance of that happening. If McGroin is cut I think we'd be all over him. There might be a few QBs cut that we rate higher than Keenum, which shouldn't be that high imo

IMHO, the Raiders would be foolish to go into the season with only 2 QBs. As good as Carr has looked thus far, he has not faced live bullets. Schaub has significant reliability questions after the past 2 seasons and, in addition, likely to "degenerate" quickly when played.

sometimes u gotta gamble there is wut only like 53 spots
so not wasting one spot on a 3rd string QB who will prob never see the field to a position other then QB who could prob see the field a hole lot would help
that's u hope your starting QB can play well and stay healthy the hole season would be best
the perfect thing for bob would prob be Fitz #1 Mcgolin #2 and Savage on practice squad

The fact that he spent a year playing for OB already. Nothing much else.
That and the fact that he looks like Superman against the Texans D.
They will wait and trade him or cut him after week 2 though.

Smart, over-achiever, good arm, knows OB's scheme... walked on at Penn State and led them to 8-4 in OB's first year.
Solid backup material who's highest/best use is with O'Brien.

How is McGloin any better than Keenum? Citing college stats doesn't support that. The fact that he played in O'Brien's system? The one that lost to Keenum's Cougars? *shrug*
Not saying Keenum's all that, but cutting Keenum for McGloin seems silly, TBH.

That determination will be made by O'Brien.

Well, he's won ONE game in the NFL as opposed to Keenum's ZERO. Against Keenum, at Keenum's home stadium. How's that for quoting relevant stats?
Both turds being equal, one has experience in the system and the other doesn't. Which turd do you think might be more beneficial to the team?

The turd with no pieces of corn in it.
What is it about Fitz & Savage taking the majority of the snaps that makes you think they don't care much for Fitzpatrick?
How many times does a coach in the NFL go after his QB from college? The only reason they were his starting QB in college was because he was the best he had available to him at the time, once he gets to the NFL, he's got more options.
Like Pete Caroll had absolutely no interest in either Carson Palmer or Matt Lienart when he got to the NFL. Maybe he felt they were overachievers, maybe he felt like they limited his offense too much, maybe he felt they were high maintenance.
If OB had his eyes on McGloin, if he thought he was worth getting, he'd have been got, especially considering McGloin is not in the Raiders' plan for their future.

I was commenting of the link you posted, referring to the broadcasters' comments re. Fitzpatrick.
My bad, you're right, Koch & Kalu don't particularly care for Fitz.
