Open QB competition

I cannot honestly see fitz taking us to the playoffs but I can see Case catching fire and making some noise.

Carr wasn't available in the 4th round. He went early in the 2nd. If you wanted him, the comparison isn't merely vs. Savage -- it's against our starting left guard as well. It's very possible that the Texans preferred Carr to Savage, but weren't high enough on either to use an early pick. And if that's the case, good for them -- the worst thing you can do is waste a pick because you're desperately hoping someone is a position fit. And as far as McCown, the Texans arranged a visit with him, but he chose to sign in Tampa before he got here. That happens sometimes.

With regards to why they made decisions now, it's because teams need to distribute reps properly in training camp. BOB can change his mind tomorrow, if new information presents itself. Should Keenum outplay Fitz significantly in camp/preseason, I'm quite confident Case would start Week 1. But BOB has now had several offseason events to evaluate his players, and he needs to give some training camp priority to the guys he thinks are most likely to start.

Fair enough, good take on the situation. I so want to be optimistic.

I hope Tom Savage beats out Case Keenum as back up QB.
