Keenum’s surprise Bears win sparks debate over who should start
Case Keenum drew attention after leading Chicago to a 27-7 win over Philadelphia despite starting after almost 3 years away, with 24 completions, 247 yards, and 2 touchdowns reported on Fearless.[1][2]
Pardon My Take called it the Case Keenum game and praised his performance after he had not thrown a pass in 3 years.[3]
Ross Tucker and Greg Cosell agreed Keenum played exceptionally well, but Tucker said the Bears had not announced whether he would start again.[4]
Fantasy Footballers debated whether Keenum’s dominance should displace Tyson Bagent, while noting Bagent had been the designated backup.[5]
Pardon My Take later argued Bagent might return because Keenum is 38 and may be less able to improvise if the offense breaks down.[6]

The conversation on X
X celebrates Keenum’s breakout while debating his place in Chicago’s quarterback rotation
Posts largely celebrate the “Case Keenum Game,” his unexpected win and his veteran competence, often treating the performance as memorable Chicago sports history.
Some posters argue Keenum should continue starting or deserves a longer opportunity, while others say the performance was situational and that Bagent or Caleb Williams should remain ahead of him.
Unlike the podcast story’s main focus on whether Keenum would start again, X spends substantial attention on commemorating the game, joking about it, and reacting to Chicago’s later use of both Keenum and Bagent.
Points of view
Share of the 24 posts that take a position
- Keenum’s performance was special but situational42%
These posts celebrate the game as unusual, memorable or even magical without clearly arguing that Keenum should permanently start. The emphasis is on the event, his veteran moment and the circumstances around it.
“If this is how Chicago reacts 12 hours before kickoff of a MNF game in which Case Keenum is starting, imagine what the city is going to be like the day the #Bears win the Super Bowl.”

“Where were you for the Case Keenum game?”
@GBraggsJr23 · Sep 28
- Keenum is a capable veteran stopgap33%
These posts present Keenum as reliable enough to hold the team together during an absence, while stopping short of claiming he is the franchise’s best long-term quarterback. His experience and efficient play are the main reasons given.
““Nobody’s a bigger cheerleader and fan of Case Keenum than I am.”🤝 Tyson Bagent on not playing vs. Eagles and learning from Case Keenum:”

“Imagine watching the #Bears win games with Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent at QB and thinking they can’t win the NFC North”
@jacobinfante24 · Oct 4
- Keenum deserves another starting opportunity12%
Supporters say Keenum’s strong win showed he can competently run the offense and should not be quickly replaced. They point to his performance against Philadelphia and later frustration when he was not retained as the starter.
“Didn't Case Keenum just ball out though Ben Johnson ?”
@BoltupDeonte619 · Oct 2
“I will say again, giving up an INT to the jets should be grounds for losing any starting role. Give Case Keenum his job back”
@BurnerTamu99267 · Oct 4
- The Bears should favor Bagent or Williams12%
Supporters say Keenum’s quick, conservative style should not determine the long-term quarterback plan. They prefer the younger quarterbacks because they believe Bagent or Williams offers the better strategic or developmental choice.
“Updated NFC North QB Rankings 1. Caleb Williams 2. Jared Goff 3. Tyson Bagent 4. Case Keenum 5. Kyler Murray 6. Carson Wentz 7. Jordan Love 8. Tyrod Taylor”
@Thecaptaincaleb · Oct 5
“So tired of people saying "Keenum runs the offense better" Why would we want Caleb to become a one dimensional game manager who just throws it quickly?? Complete waste of his talent. Casey Keenum has to get it out fast to survive, Caleb can afford to hold it and make a play”
