Case Keenum to the Skins

We didn't give up any draft picks (we only gave up a late round difference in position next year) and we picked up a quarterback who is either going to be a serviceable starter or a quality backup. And, he is on a cheap, one year contract.

I don't think you can argue this is a "bad" deal.

If next years starter beats out Keenum and McCoy in open competition then we should have a descent QB Corp.. you could do a lot worse than those two as backups!

If he plays well and earns a $15M year deal from some other team in 2020 he’ll bring a comp pick our way. Same goes for Colt actually. The Skins are smart to get guys affordably with at least some upside and let them play out their contract. It’s how you build up the comp picks. The Pats have been doing it for years.

I really don't have a problem with Keenum. Colt simply can not be counted on to stay healthy. I just don't want either starting any games for us.

Sheehan often describes Bruce Allen in free agency as the guy "that gets great deals on average players"... Seems it's also accurate about trades !

I'm glad the Redskins didn't trade for Rosen...that would have meant giving up a higher draft pick....I'm okay with the trade for Keenum...Keenum will only account for 3.5 million dollars against the cap....in reviewing his career statistics and highlights he'll throw more touchdowns than interceptions for damn sure...the front office knows what they are doing...hopefully Brett Rypien will still be available in the 3rd round.

Can't we just do a tank job? Do we really need 6 wins this year?
Fuck this shit.

This team was 1-6 last year after Alex went down, you really think Keenum will get 6 wins? Not unless we hit major pay dirt in the draft for players that make an immediate impact.

Case Keenum and Alex Smith have very similar numbers from 2018:

Grade:
Keenum (70.0) Smith (70.2)

Yards per attempt:
Keenum (6.6) Smith (6.6)

Passer rating under pressure:
Keenum (52.2) Smith (52.0)

Passer rating when clean:
Keenum (94.9) Smith (98.2)

hoping we still can get rosen as long it,s not for our 1 round pick,plus they skins front office might be thinking that alex coming back next year considering all the money we owe him ,but i think that ship has sailed and his carreer is over even if he doesn,t have that surgery

Rosen is still very much in play folks

Yes he is, once the deal is done the Cards trade Rosen to the Skins for Keenum who has a good connection with the Cards new coach .
