I would have been splitting reps between Colt and Haskins 50% a piece, and had some 3rd stringer on the team too, but I wouldn't have traded for Keenum just to have him taking 33% of the first team reps.

Why? We got a veteran backup that can start if needed for $3.5M. At the time we had a bare cupboard at QB coming off a disastrous year at the position.

I would have just signed someone if it came down to that. Maybe I am thinking too little of Case but I really equate him to that of a 3rd string QB, excluding the one year he had the best WR duo in football

Yes but they had to move out of the 6th round. Not a huge deal but not worth it IMO. Who knows, that pick could end up being a high 6th rounder. Keenum was going to get released. Why sacrifice draft position for a journeymen QB who was going to get cut? Yes that would have possibly brought in competition for his services but who would we be competing against? Maybe the Cards? Just another worthless, stupid trade by Allen. He simply doesn't know who to make trades in the least bit.
