Case Keenum was the Los Angeles Rams starting quarterback on Monday. Head coach Jeff Fisher told the world that would be the case after their thrilling 9-6 win over the Jets, the first game since Oct. 2 that Keenum didn’t throw an interception.
Los Angeles Rams made Case Keenum mad with the surprise QB switch
The whole team was caught off guard by the move to Goff. And one person in particular is not happy about it.

On Tuesday, Jared Goff was the starter. Keenum was surprised and not very happy with the sudden change of direction.
“I wasn’t happy,” he said Wednesday. “I guess it was going to happen at some point, but in my mind, it was my team. That’s the way I viewed it. It was my offense, and I took ownership of it.”
Imagine that. One day you had your coach’s assurances; the next day you were on the bench. This is nothing new for Fisher. The same thing happened last year when they replaced Nick Foles with Keenum. Ditto Austin Davis and Shaun Hill in 2014.
The rest of the team was just as surprised by the move.
Hey, Keenum should be happy he’s not getting the Vince Young treatment from Fisher.
