You act like Keenum is a rookie with no track record of mediocrity. Don't you think that's the reason the front office is hesitant? He's having a hell of a year, the whole team is. But I'm going to hold off on calling him 'special' for the time being. Well, one aspect that most people haven't realized is that Keenum got *the second best* global quarterback rating (not merely the passing rating) in the entire NFL, this season. The article where I saw this, didn't mention the first one - Brady? Wentz? So, sure, he had a previous track record of mediocrity but then, it's that thing that sometimes one needs the right system to thrive. It is hard to deny that he is thriving under the current Vikings system, so it does appear a bit crazy if they then go and get rid of him in favor of a QB who hasn't played in a meaningful game for two seasons and is coming out of devastating injury, who might never be the same player he was before the injury. It's trading a proven quantity for a shot in the dark.Will Bridgewater be good? We don't know. Is Keenum currently good? Yes. If I were the front office, I'd make darn sure that Keenum stays. Then later if Bridgewater fully recovers and shows that *after his injury* he is better than Keenum, sure, things can be re-discussed. But for now, the Vikings would be crazy if they got rid of Keenum, after this spectacular year. That's the thing, Keenum isn't a proven quantity. He's having a great year, but the rest of his career isn't so amazing. The Vikings have to decide if this is a fluke (it happens in sports) or if Keenum is a late bloomer finally finding the right situation (also happens in sports). I won't criticize the Vikes if they invest in him after this season, but I can understand their trepidation. I just thought the other poster's observations on Keenum lacked context.
