The reality is that Keenum is a 2 TD QB. That's the most production that we should expect from him game to game.
So far in 4 games, outside of Tampa, Keenum has produced 0, 0, and 2 TDs.
Some folks say throw out the SF game, ok, then we should also throw out the Tampa game. I think neither are normal representations of what Keenum is.
The big question is the Rams D good enough to make the playoffs with a 2 TD QB.
I think it's possible if the D stays healthy and continues to play as they've been, but they have no room for error, the Rams will normally lose games when their D yields more than 17 points.
Keenum is a gamer, and he won't throw away games when the D is playing well. Against good teams, if the D is playing well, Keenum will be hard pressed to produce enough points to win, but he can. But if the D is just average against good teams, Keenum isn't good enough to win.
I think this combination can get us to 9 or 10 wins if the D plays at its current level which is about a top 6 D.
The Bills defense is a perfect litmus test. They are going to throw the book at him He's going to forced to make the right reads at the LoS.
I was thinking the same thing. And its probably even better than we think cause I'm seeing posts already putting caveats on this game. I saw one that said we shouldn't count it if Keenum plays poorly or something to that effect.
My view is that this game is EXACTLY the kind of game that we need to see Keenum look decent or better. He has to convert 3rd downs. If Keenum plays poorly, the Rams will lose. We don't need 4TDs, we just need a decent game. And the Bills will do their best to make Keenum look bad, if they are successful that will say a lot about when we are gonna see Goff.
