    Did Baltimore really pick up Case or just joking?

    No, they didn't. I don't even know why people make that joke. It's not like Kubiak showed Case any favoritism when he was here. Joking about Baltimore picking up Schaub when Oakland inevitably cuts him I get. Case? Not so much.

    Hey Case, don't leave. Call UH today! They need you. QB coach, OC, something. They need everything.

    And so it begins. It would be so Houston for Case to thrive under Fisher.

    Kubiak actually did everything he could to get rid of Case. The last time he pulled him is ultimately what got him fired.

    I really believed that the Rams would pick Case up after how their NFL season has started. Good luck in STL Case...too bad you couldnt get a win in Texans Blue.

    For a good laugh:

    That didn't take long.

    One day after getting released by the Houston Texans in favor of Bill Belichick reject Ryan Mallett, Case Keenum's found a new NFL team. The quarterback-needy St. Louis Rams picked up the former University of Houston record breaker off waivers on Monday.

    And just like that, the Keenum doubters have been proven wrong again.

    In reality, there was little question that a passer who showed plenty of potential in his first half season of starting would be snatched up in a league so desperate for quality quarterbacks. Still, many of the Houston media outlets that inexplicably hated on Keenum during his run with the Texans predicted he'd struggle to find a new NFL home. The Houston Chronicle went as far as suggesting his NFL career could be over, parroting the kind of nonsense 610 AM radio host Nick Wright regularly spewed.

    With a fierce defensive front and explosive playmakers, St. Louis is a real opportunity for the right QB.
    But it's not even close to the end for Keenum.

    Instead Keenum is joining a Rams team that could give him a chance to start for a real contender at some point this season. With St. Louis' franchise quarterback hope Sam Bradford injured again — and lost for the season — Rams coach Jeff Fisher is looking for possible quarterback solutions.

    The Rams will open the season with unremarkable veteran Shaun Hill as their starter, but Hill is hardly locked in.

    With a fearsome defensive front seven and some explosive offensive playmakers like Tavon Austin, St. Louis presents a real opportunity for the right quarterback. Getting to play for Jeff Fisher — one of the most respected and open-minded coaches in the NFL — could be another boon for Keenum.

    Fisher is unlikely to fixate on Keenum's lack of traditional quarterback height the way new Texans coach Bill O'Brien seemingly did. O'Brien never gave Keenum a chance to compete for the starting quarterback job —or even a single opportunity to play with the first team during the preseason.

    Now Keenum gets a fresh start. As new beginnings go, it sure looks like a touchdown.

    Wow, well this escalated quickly! Going to miss Keenum, all I wanted was a fresh season from start to beginning with him. Hope he wins somewhere.

    Yes he is. Also this: http://houston.culture map.com/news/sports/04-29-11-texans-will-rue-the-night-they-took-pizza-boy-watts-over-nick-fairley-houston-lover/

    He's never backed down from that article either. He never admits when he's wrong. He just sticks with his initial opinion forever.

    Fisher managed to keep winning games despite being forced to play Vince Young, if he can have success with VY, he can have success with anyone.

    Jeff Fisher has had a mediocre record for years no matter who's the QB has been.
