The Minnesota Vikings are good. This is somewhat surprising because the National Football League franchise goes through quarterbacks like a human goes through underwear. According to current starter, Case Keenum, the Vikings no longer need to worry about such issues.

Following yet another win, this time against a good Los Angeles Rams team, Case Keenum discussed why he should remain the starter.

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” Keenum said, via Chip Scoggins of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “Let’s keep doing what we’re doing. Coach Zimmer is the coach. It’s his decision. I’m here to play. However he wants to do it, I’m here. I want to be the best player for this team.”

In Mike Zimmer's postgame presser, he admitted it is too hard to pull him from the starting spot.

“It’s going to be hard to yank him out of there right now,” Zimmer said of Keenum, via Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “He’s playing good.

“I still have really high hopes for Teddy, and a lot of things happen throughout the course of the season, so we’ll just see how it goes.”

It will, obviously, be interesting to see how long the Vikings ride with the quarterback. Teddy Bridgewater still appears to be the signal-caller of the future, but Keenum is the guy for the right now.

As for how long the right now is, it is probably directly attached to how many more wins Minnesota can rattle off in a row with a journeyman QB behind center.
