What does Case Keenum bring to the table that is an upgrade over the Broncos current quarterback stable?

The guys look at Keenum’s career closely and his overall record over the years in the NFL so far. The guys also take a look at how the Keenum signing for the Broncos will impact certain free agents on the market right now.

Or if the team must pair Keenum with a big time free agent prospect like Nate Solder? The guys break that down and debate that.
