Week 4 - Motor City Kitties coming to town

Post by bleedspeed »

Lion pick your QB poison. Will Bradford be healthy? If Keenum is starting can he provide another strong performance?

The key, as always is the O-Line, can they give the QB time? If yes, it probably doesn't matter who starts, though Bradford will always be the better option week in week out. If no, it probably doesn't matter who starts, Keenum has legs, Bradford has the quick decision making and release. That being the case I don't think either is likely to put up those gaudy 90+ QBR numbers against the Lion's front seven.

Win pretty, win ugly, I don't care, just win!

Well said SP.

Personally I will be pretty surprised if Sam is out there against the Lions.

Well said SP.

Monster - I kind of doubt it too, but what happens if Keenum has another stellar game. What does the coaching staff do then?

Sam is still the starter and everyone knows it. Keenum can put up big numbers all he wants. It's just gonna make people wonder how much bigger Sam's numbers would be and how much better we as a team could be if Case can keep doing it.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Keenum has to do this for more than a couple games. I think the coaching staff would love to have a problem of possibly having 3 worthwhile QBs mid-season. On the other hand Spielman would likely not mind having a reason to keep Teddy off the roster...

Well now we know what we knew all along that Sam was probably going to be out.

It sounds like Remmers was sick.
