    Title says it all.

    Are you ready to keep him?

    More so, let him be your starting QB for the 2014-2015 season?


    I think Case could redeem himself (he's already shown greatness to an extent with playing with a crappy line) and be even better this year, with the coach's help and obviously better line protection.

    Also, considering how our D-Line is stacked, our QB may be getting a lot more touches to score this year.


    I'm all in for Case "Keep'um" Keenum.

    Now the question is, are you?

    And what do you think the organization does?

    i think BOB likes fitz more than Case...

    case was gary's project. Even if its an open competition, I'd expect Fitz to win it...I do like what Case can bring to the table, but he showed way too many rookie mistakes.

    Who knows though.

    I like Case, I really do... I was pulling for him and everything, HOWEVER there is something to be said for going 0-8

    Yes, there is, but not about Case. Come on, the entire team was either injured or just flat out quit.

    Super Bowl winner and hall of fame quarterback Troy Aikman started his career 0-11.

    Tom freaking Brady couldn't have won with what the Texans were putting out there last season.

    Almost with certainty, the Texans will draft a QB project and set up an open competition with Fitz, Keenum, Yates, rookie, and perhaps another FA/UDFA QB...

    This may be Keenum's last chance in the NFL...hope he is ready after this offseason...had flashes of brilliance, but still hasnt won...

    The coach "what's his name" didn't protect him, didn't scheme for him, didn't help him when they blitzed his brains out.. He showed flashes of "wow." I want to see what he can do with more help. Like with a running game. Yes, I think he deserves another shot in a different system.

    If they draft a QB, will they be able to keep all three? I imagine if they try to keep one on the practice squad, any other team can pick him up.

    you guys are selling fitz short. his record was 6-0 in 2011 and 2012 when his team scored more than the opponent.


    Put me in with those wanting to see case get a fair shot.

    I'm not sure he fits BO'Bs typical tall pocket QB. Case is a bit short and is better as a scrambler, so I wouldn't bet on Keenum being the guy.

    I would like to cherry pick a stat from the 1989 cowgirls where Troy Aikman lost more games than Keenum. :grin:

    Yeah I agree, I feel like Case was working with nothing and it really did seem like Gary disliked Case, regardless that he had to go with him the last half of the season.

    Starting (safety valve) TE hurt, starting RB hurt/out, backup RB hurt, o-line suck and Coach that didn't seem to want to protect him by drawing different schemes. Did I miss anything. I feel he deserves a chance, and can succeed.

    No one is a sure bet to start (except yates he is horrible)

    As a fan all i ask is there be a legitimate open competition for the starter's spot. If fitz wins the spot I have no problem with it b/c he won it, same goes for case.

    I have a problem when someone is penciled in as the starter without earning it.
