    It's super strange....backups are supposed to be completely inept. Especially their first year in a new system. It's quite the miracle.

    it just drives me crazy that the Vikings are always better than us.

    What drives me crazy is the notion that we shouldn't expect anything better from an offense with a 3rd year backup that we've been told is capable. Nice strawman though.

    Why don't you expect any better?

    At this point i see how bad our backup qb is, so I don't expect anything better. Is my grammar imperfect? Is that logically flawed? What are you getting at?

    Keenum needs at least another 3 games to look competent....

    Prior to 2017, Keenum had started 19 games. He was poor and was thought of as only a 3rd string QB. But surrounded by good talent in Minnesota, he flourished, in a way.

    He has absolutely torched bad defenses (versus Tampa he had a 142 rating, Chicago a 110, and Washington 117). Against other teams he has scored a 65, 76, 78(Pack), 67, 88).

    There isn't a comparison here in experience for Hundley.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    He was considered a 3rd string qb, but accumulated 19 starts in 3 years? His numbers have always been better than what Hundley has shown. Gasp....even as a rookie! Hundley is garbage. Just accept it. If you suck after 3 years of training behind an HOF qb, you suck.

    With about 4 Mins left in the 4th Qtr. The Patriots are kicking the Heck out of the Raiders in Oakland"

    Pats 33 - 8.

    LA Chargers 54-24 over a Rookie QB and The Buffalo Bills.

    Dumb Dumb move by the Buffalo Bills HC to bench a winning starting QB...just frickin DUMB.

    He got what had to happen. Damn the Bills havn't made the Playoffs since.....? Check that out.

    DUMB.

    His rookie year was on the PS. 3rd string is probably too strong a characterization though. But no one thought of him as a starter coming in to backup Bradford/Bridgewater.

    He got eight starts in his first year starting after Matt Schuab flamed out. We'll see where Hundley is after eight starts. Keen had a 78.2 rating that year.
