    Bob: "Time for Keenum to start, Rick!"
    Rick: "Time for Keenum to start, Gary!"
    Gary: "Well, we just have to work harder. I need to prepare him better..."
    Bob: "Do it, b****!"
    Rick and Gary (in unison): "Yes, sir."

    I disagree, Rick Smith is just part of the Kubiak problem not the other way around.

    I'd wish the owner gone as well but that is pointless... best case scenario is the team contniues to fail and everyone is fired. I don't even care who they are replaced with but I hope for some upper management shake up, maybe a team president with franchise building experience; someone like that handed the keys and told to right the ship... I truly belive this franchise is in shambles from the top on down.

    Bob Mcnair is not a football man.

    I've said it before, we're 2 wins in a row away from likely 1st place in the division. It's too soon and we're too talented to throw caution to the wind. I've also said that this Schaub case study has gone on for too long and it's time to move on.

    So what do I want? I'd limp along, try and make the playoffs, then find my QB in the offseason. I don't believe in Keenum or Yates. Neither one gives us a better chance to win than Schaub.

    Those are my opinions. We'll see what happens.

    Regardless of if it's the right or wrong move, you don't throw a QB that you want to be your future starter into the fire against one of the best defenses in the NFL when he hasn't even suited up before and the division title is still on the line. That's stupid.

    Kubes has been setting Keenum up to fail all season. He started it in training camp by letting Yates play more with the starters like Hopkins and Dre, he's made him inactive even after watching Schaub suck ass since week 3.

    Just another obstacle for Keenum to overcome.....holy **** I'm sounding like a LOF....**** it.

    Lol at the people thinking that kubes is trying to set up keenum to fail. Kubiak is in the hot seat right now. He's not going to give up the head coaching job of his dreams just to carry out some made-up vendetta against a backup QB who he could have cut at any time in the last 2 seasons.

    One thing we are forgetting is that Kubiak still calls the plays and will play even more conservative.

    We all want to see the gun slinging Keenum, but we know that won't happen because he is going to have Case on a tight leash. It would be a bigger deal to me if Kubiak was saying F it and went balls to the wall with Case but we won't see big shots down field any more so that we did with Schaub.

    Can someone explain how Kevin Kolb was drafted in the second round yet Keemun was undrafted despite having much better numbers against the same competition in college. Honest question. Trying to see if we actually have a shot.

    Exciting and unexpected move. It's a hell of a tough spot for a first start, but it at least breathes some life into this team and fan base.

    A lot of players talked about his excitement when playing. Should be fun to watch if he makes any plays he will probably be the first to run down the field and chest bump the receiver or something.

    I believe injury history had a lot to do with why he went undrafted, on top of being a 6th year senior coming out of college.
