Case Keenum Reacts to Rams Fans Chanting for Jared Goff
Los Angeles Rams fans could be heard cheering for No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff and former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow while Case Keenum struggled during the team’s loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
As if things couldn’t get any worse for Case Keenum, fans in Los Angeles are now cheering for someone, anyone to replace him.
Rams fans could be heard chanting for Jared Goff and even Tim Tebow as Keenum once again struggled in Week 9. Keenum was also showered with a chorus of boos throughout the loss.
After the game, Keenum said he understood why the fans were angry:
Keenum finished 27 of 46 for 296 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. Keenum was also sacked four times and got no help from the Rams’ rushing attack that totaled just 59 yards on 17 attempts.
Not only did head coach Jeff Fisher claim he didn’t hear the fans chanting Goff’s name, he doesn’t blame the loss on Keenum:

Granted, Fisher is right when he says the loss isn’t on Keenum alone, however he was a big part of it. The Rams offense as a whole was unable to get anything going against the Panthers and without great effort on the defensive side of the ball, this game could have been a blowout.
It doesn’t appear the Rams are going to Goff at this moment. Keenum is likely to be the start next week and in the foreseeable future.
