One of the most amusing and yet frustrating parts of the Vikings' quarterback situation over the past few weeks is the preponderance of e-mailers who keep suggesting that any dilemma between Case Keenum and Teddy Bridgewater is solely a media creation.
Folks, it's pretty simple: The minute Mike Zimmer says Keenum is the starter, period, he will stop getting asked who is the starting quarterback.
But Zimmer continues to stop short of saying that. For a few weeks he has said he has a plan. And on Friday, a day after Keenum played very well (again) in leading the Vikings to their seventh straight victory, Zimmer would only say of Keenum, "He'll be the starter the next week, yeah."
Keenum now has posted three of the six best games of any QB all season in terms of Total QBR. But a long-term QB question still exists — one perpetuated by Zimmer and reported on by the media.
