Dink, dunk, let the receivers do all of the work
In all of your number-crunching, you once again overlook a long-held axiom of Professional Football. I think we tried this before and you didn't get it then and probably will be blinded by your man-love and won't get it now. That axiom being that good-to great players, especially QBs, have an ability to make everyone else around them better when they play. It's called the intangible of leadership and Sammie appears to be lacking in that department. Now you can argue all you want but that axiom remains true. Your boy just doesn't get his teammates to play even better when he is in there unlike a long list of players over the history of the NFL who have done that no matter what their stats are per game or for the year.
This is today's NFL game. It's not just Sam who does it he's just the best at it. Brady dinks and dunks all day to if that's what the defense gives. And like I've always said it's not easy to do you have to be very accurate. There are a lot of quarterbacks in the league who cannot do this consistently. Bradford can throw the deep ball just as well as anyone he showed that in the last game. This is what happens when defenses come up and start trying to stop the dink and dunk. So most of the time they just stay deep so they don't get burned. those stats above are for quarterbacks under pressure being blitzed.
So, I guess you think it's really taxing on a QB to essentially make a long hand-off. Case Keenum for MVP!
What makes Case a back up is he doesn't have the arm talent like a starter like Sam. He forces throws he thinks he can make but they end up as INT's which is bad. Case is not a threat to consistently throw the intermediate or deep ball with accuracy so he is very easy to game plan against. You can't do that with a guy that can make all the throws which is who you want as a starter. Do you really not get a 4 yard pass equals a 4 yard run? When you have no running game this is your only chance of success.
Case averages more yards per completion. What good does Sam's arm do on the 3.35 yards on average he throws the ball? This isn't a new situation with Sam either; in the NFL he has always been sub-par.
He's averaging 259 yards a game 15th in the NFL. As a Rams fan I pray for a average like that some day.

Again, you fall back on comparing him to the worst offense in the league. That's faint praise at best.
Rams have a better Oline and running game then the Vikes. Sam makes them better then the Rams Offense.
Sam makes the running game better? Of course, since even his throws are essentially hand-offs.
The Eagles are no better this year.

Case may throw the ball farther sometime but it usually is to the other team.
