The kid is a gamer all day, and let's not overlook the fact that he's got a good head on his shoulders. A first round pick, who gets bumped for a sixth rounder to start the season despite a solid training camp. Does he gripe and moan, no? He puts his head down, keeps working, and plays darn well when his number is called. Yeah he was picked on yesterday, but I didn't think he was abysmal by any stretch. Not only that, he snagged his first pick on a pass that he was supposed to intercept. Let's not forget Tre had a few bumps and bruises his rookie year as well. I anticipate nothing but great things ahead for number 24. He has an agenda against Elam. If he struggles, he's going to bring it up. If he plays well, you won't hear from him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Elam is gonna be just fine. Dare I say I could easily see him being our CB1 one day in the not-so-distant future. Kids got the prototype size, great speed, solid tackler, good in run support.

Generic_Bills_Fan Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 38 minutes ago, Einstein said: Thank you. A bit, yes. He was picked on yesterday by a QB in his 1st ever start. Doesn’t mean he won’t get better, but do have a healthy dose of concern for him. I think we are big time underrating how good the Steelers wide receivers are. Probably the third best group of wrs we’ll see this year…and the bengals I’m honestly not even worried about because they insist on calling passing plays with so many deep routes all game long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) I really don't think there is anyone that they can bring in that is going to be any better than Keenum. Let's face it, if Josh were to ever miss games, the drop-off would be huge. The offense would change dramatically. Keenum is experienced. This is a very talented team. Let's cross that bridge if we get there. Coming if for mop up duty is a bit different than starting.

FilthyBeast Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Back up QB's are back ups for a reason. And whether it's Keenam, Trubisky, Barkley, etc this would not be the same team if any of them have to play meaningful snaps in the past, present, future, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now saying he's worried about him because he didn't shut down the Steelers WR yesterday even though he's played lights out the previous few games. Creates another negative thread about Elam and a rumor. Creates a thread about being concerned about Keenum right after we blow out the Steelers. Keenum wasn't throwing to Diggs or Davis or any 1st string players. Creates a thread basically mocking Spencer Brown for being "too hot" in the Dolphins game and Benford for being out with a HAND injury. Creates a thread about missing losing games. Then complains when we lose. Irrelevant Daboll thread trying to tie that into 13 seconds. The Titans missed a 47 yard FG lol to lose the game. Poor coaching becoming a theme. We lead the league in point differential. Argues adamantly that the Titans have a better roster than the Bills. Argues adamantly Jeffrey Simmons is the 2nd best defensive player in the league LOL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Wildly obvious to anybody, with the exception of himself and a very few others. Every once in a while he says something that makes total sense and isn't apparently a product of deep anxiety and depression issues. Always shocks me.

Probably closer to top 5. Not that you'd want him to play much. But that's true of every backup. If there were a backup that weren't true of, he'd be a starter. Look at Frank Reich, one of the better backups in team history. His QBREC (Team Record in Games Started by this QB (Regular Season) was 5-15. His career passer rating was 72.9. 40 TDs and 36 INTS. A 54.5% completion percentage. And he was a damn good backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenam also had a decent run in a while back after taking over as the starter there but I'd still rather not see him thrust into full time action again in Buffalo. I think the bigger picture with any backup QB is the quality of the defense supporting him and that would be the only reason this team would have a chance if Allen were ever to miss time.

The point was he had wide open receivers in a situation where there was no pressure to perform and he couldn’t connect on relatively short wide open players. What the hell is he going to do when the game is on the line? Hopefully if he’s truly called for duty when it matters, he will be better prepared to perform.

Just 4 seasons ago, he lead the Vikings to the Conference Championship. He has talent. He's a back up level QB now, which is what everyone has at that position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
