Case knew this was his time to shine. The old nobody's left behind me. So he did what he did the last time he got to have any success. He went Houston Cougar.
"The thing I like the most about Case is he's got big balls," Zimmer said Tuesday when asked about his quarterback's sometimes risky play. "He's not afraid. He's going to pull the trigger and he is going to play like that. That's a good thing."
But, yes, there are times when Keenum takes risks and somehow gets away with it. Or, as Zimmer put it, "He's playing with a horseshoe" right now.
"First of all, you want to take care of the football," Keenum said. "That's the hopes and dreams of your team when you have the football in your hands. That's why every decision I make is important.
"But with that being said, you want to be able to give your guys a chance (to make a play). Some chances are better than others. Some risks are better than others. There's a lot of give and take and ways you can look at it. But just trying to keep doing what I'm doing."

Regardless, one comment was vague, and one was VERY clear that Zimmer liked Keenum's guts and aggressiveness. So, where are all the quotes that led so many here to think Zimmer hated Case?
As far as Keenum being a little lucky, that was well-documented. Yes, his pocket presence and escapability were fantastic, but his receivers were also bailing him out at a very impressive rate.
Just a few weeks after the big balls and horseshoe comments:
Case Keenum’s biggest weakness as a quarterback is his inaccuracy. You wouldn’t know that by looking at the stat column—Keenum’s 67.5% completion percentage is currently top-five in the NFL, but that statistic is buoyed by (1) Keenum’s below-average average depth of target (his 11.1 yards per completion ranks about 24th in the league), (2) Keenum’s receivers catching everything (the Vikings lead the league in fewest drops) and (3) most importantly, just how often Keenum’s receivers bail him out of inaccurate passes. A typical quarterback has about 2% of their inaccurate passes reeled in by their receivers. Keenum is getting bailed out on seven percent of his passes.
We're outnumbered. If you'd get on our level, maybe the one's in power would feel the pressure and do something about it. But nah, some of you are content with doing the same crap every year lol. Ugh! Raise your expectations!!
You make a lot of sense F-town. 
... and neither is this Chris guy.
