ORIGINAL: bstinger SKOL!!!! We win the NFC North and sit in 2nd place with 11-3 record with a QB no one wanted. If Case keeps taking care of the ball and the D keeps playing like it is we can go all the way. Nice to see Teddy have that moment. I hope it's his last moment of the season unless we are crushing the Packers and/or Bears. Hard to say what will happen in the offseason, but I'm OK at this point with Case being the guy going forward and drafting an heir apparent with a mid-low round pick. Sam and Teddy probably will want more than they are worth to keep as backups and Case won't be taking backup money. Gotta keep healthy and minimize mistakes and this could be our year. It's more likely Teddy knows his value is down right now. Wont make much on the free agent market either and I'm sure the Vikings are planning to keep him anyway knowing they should be able to, in the short team at least, extend him for a couple years cheaply. Sam is as good as gone. He's a forgotten person now. A myth. all memories of his heroics are being swept away by the superior heroics of one Case Keenum. I think Case might just price himself out of Minnesota and go where Shurmer ends up, Cleveland, Cincy, ? In any case (pun not intended) As much as I am loving this...I don't think Keenum will replicate this season again. Whether with the Vikings or not, he will have different coaching (which in his case I believe is significant) and some different playmakers too. He's set the standard so high now that it will be hard for him to ever live up to it again. And I believe someone is going to pay a boatload of money to take him off our hands. No way Shurmur goes to Cleveland (already been there done that).....Cincy, Chicago, or NY Giants.
