Denver Dreams
The Denver Broncos were the first team to sign a quarterback in 2018 offseason. They put all their faith in Keenum and signed him for much less than what Kirk Cousins was looking for and for a similar quarterback play. Keenum and Cousins are both similar kind of players who can thrive with best players and coaches around them.
2018 Denver Broncos will be the best team Keenum has played with after the 2017 Vikings. Broncos have one of the Top defenses led by Von Miller and they bolstered their pass rush by adding Bradley Chubb who fell for them at #5 in 2018 draft.
The Wide Receiver duo of Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, albeit old are really good and a sub-par quarterback play limited their numbers in the past two seasons. With Keenum under center, those two numbers should go up in 2018. Addition of rookie Courtland Sutton out of SMU also helps to have a deep threat for Keenum.
The Running game and offensive line of Broncos are both lingering issues for Broncos, but they have made some necessary additions in both to bolster it from what they had in 2017.
With Bills Musgrave calling the plays, who called for 2016 Oakland Raiders while developing Derek Carr to MVP candidate, should help the Broncos offense. If the running game gets going Keenum with his ability to avoid defenders should be able to find Thomas and Sanders for touchdowns.
The journey of Case Keenum should be a lesson to all the players, coaches, general managers who just give up after one or two bad seasons. If you keep practicing and keep yourself available, you will always get the chance eventually.
With the successes of players like Kurt Warner, Tony Romo, Case Keenum and Kirk Cousins, the evaluation of the QB prospects remains to be a mystery. The teams still like to gauge quarterbacks solely based on physical straits than game acumen.
Will Keenum be the second coming of Kurt Warner? Can Case Keenum continue his 2017 form? Time will tell the answers to these questions. But he most certainly proved that he is here to stay for years to come in NFL as a starter or in the worst case a premier backup, which is turning out to be the most important position in NFL right now.
