The Denver Broncos have not gotten enough good plays from Case Keenum through the first four games. He ranks at the bottom of the league when throwing from inside the pocket, which is where most of a quarterbacks throws come from.

However, when the Broncos are able to get Keenum outside the pocket to throw the ball, he ranks among the best in the NFL through four games.

The sad part of these stats is that until Keenum can get the job done better from inside the pocket, the Broncos offense is going to continue to disappoint.
