Assuming Mallett will start off as the backup.
Knew we couldn't go into the season with Keenum and Savage as the backups. Hopefully the pick was not too high.
Adios Keenum. It's been real. This is really interesting. I wonder when/if O'Brien plans to start him. I guess when we find out what we gave up for him is when we'll realize how much BOB values him.
Bye bye Keenum. Your first few starts gave me so much hope. Interesting to see what for. Wonder how much Mallett will play. He's got a HUGE arm.
