Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum has been playing better the last few games, but head coach Vance Joseph still thinks he is a bit too cautious at times.
In an ugly 20-14 loss to the lowly San Francisco 49ers, Keenum threw for only 186 yards and a touchdown. While Keenum didn't turn the ball over, the offense wasn't able to get much going as he only averaged 4.4 yards per pass attempt. Joseph thinks Keenum trying not to turn the ball over has put him into a bit of a shell after he had some turnover issues at the beginning of the season.
“I thought Case has played his best football in the last month,” Vance Joseph said via The Athletic. “(Sunday) he was a little cautious with the ball. The bottom line is we got three weeks to play and he’s got to make more plays and sometimes taking some chances allows you to make more plays. There are going to be turnovers, so he can’t worry about it. You can’t play this game perfectly. I want Case to be more aggressive, especially down the seams over those Cover 3 defenses. That’s where the soft spots are, so he’s got to be aggressive down the seams and not worry about making mistakes.”
The Broncos were hoping to have their quarterback of the future in Case Keenum, but there are some questions about whether the team will move on from him this offseason. He has three games left to prove to Vance Joseph and the front office why the team should have faith in him moving forward.
