MINNESOTA SPORTS FAN DAILY: Wednesday, November 15, 2017

This season is BY FAR Case Keenum's best. Yet, he is INCREDIBLY average. I am CONFIDENT Teddy can come in and be at-least average (with a future). It's time for Teddy. #SKOL

Unless you think Case should be the future………………………….. pic.twitter.com/ZrWaZMDnhj

Lol…. then why wait? So, Teddy can be rusty entering postseason? Shurmur’s offense is making Keenum look better than he is. It should fit Teddy too. Make the change. Keenum will still be there if Teddy flops (which he won’t).

As a MN Fan, I get this take. Everyone is nervous. It’s our nature in this state. Seriously ask yourself 1 question to hurdle this fear:

Can Case win us a Super Bowl? That’s the ONLY reason you would keep him in.

If you can HONESTLY answer w/a YES.

Then…. go Case… https://t.co/zZLD30LMWI

If Teddy struggles, Case can come back in. At least we know then. His arm isn’t going to fall off once he is replaced in the starting lineup.

Nice try.

U have an idea what you’re getting. Topping Co. told u it’s the same kind u liked before. Just broke down & revamped recipe. Could be better. Could be worse.

BUT…

IF u don’t like the new version, they will even scrape it off and u still get to eat the ice cream.

Mr.White, you are the 5th person to prove my point with this question today.

When we found out Bradford wasn’t the same guy we once saw, what happened? How did the game finish? Were Case’s feelings so hurt, he couldn’t come back? Did his arm fall off?

Please finish the story.. https://t.co/3P32ZBVv7u

— Minnesota Sports Fan (@realmnsportsfan) November 14, 2017

Mistake? So, something went wrong that game?

The people don’t know, Mr. White. Tell them what happened…

— Minnesota Sports Fan (@realmnsportsfan) November 14, 2017

Exactly!!

And he would do it again. And the Vikings would still go to the playoffs AND we would then know Teddy’s NOT the future.

BUT…if Teddy is better…….

There is no risk. It’s WAY MORE RISKY for the organization, if you DON’T play Teddy.

— Minnesota Sports Fan (@realmnsportsfan) November 14, 2017

Not a ”Teddy homer”, just a “homer.

I don’t want to miss another window. IMO, Keenum isn’t winning us a Super Bowl.

Rest of the team is SB-caliber. Idk if Teddy is that guy. But, if the alternative is no SB…. why are we playing? https://t.co/x1STyRPfhd

I think Zimmer should start Teddy on Sunday & rest of season.
a) TB potentially pushes #Vikings into Super Bowl contention
b) Can always go back to Keenum (like CHI)
c) Distraction/drama if he doesn't
d) TB won't make crippling mistakes
e) #CantLoseYourJobToInjury https://t.co/5N8WvMucoe
