Man, if Kubiak really does take away the starting job of Keenum and hands it back to Schaub...he's gonna need some landmines on his frontyard.
Gary's comments confirm to at least me that it was not his decision to start Keenum; likely an Uncle Bob ultimatum which he resents. Interestingly on AM 610 today they were talking about how the losses were on Keenum for not picking up the blitzes. I don't know what you do when defenders get to you at the same time the ball does.
