This piece seems a little contradictory (at least the conclusion) to much of what I've seen, but I'm sharing it anyway, because ... Vikings ... and ... offseason.

Kirk Cousins Vs. Case Keenum; A Tale Of The Tape by Ryan Dyrud
Conclusion
So what can we conclude from all of this?
With Keenum, you get a very accurate quarterback that is mobile when he needs to be. He’s not going to blow you away with his arm talent but he can make all the throws and is an underrated deep ball thrower. The biggest difference between his 2016 and 2017 campaigns was his supporting cast and the offensive scheme. If the Broncos can emulate what he had in Minnesota, there is no reason that he cannot produce another Pro Bowl caliber season.
The Broncos will need to solidify the tight end position and draw up passing options that have a bleeding running backs out of the backfield as a safety net, and I think we could see Keenum put up even greater numbers than he did in 2017. His tape is actually very impressive.
With Cousins, you also get a very accurate passer that is a playmaker. He elevates the play of the players around him. He tends to struggle with the deep ball; if you noticed I didn’t have any clips of him throwing it deep because, quite frankly, he didn’t have that many completions deep. However, he is great at buying himself time in the pocket and can work through his progressions to find the open man. I expect him to be even better in Minnesota with the weapons that he will have around him. Some of the pressure can be taken off him and he can just go out there and sling it. Great move for the Vikings, and a great move for Cousins; should be a bountiful relationship.
