That's harsh man! I mean... I get it, you don't like the signing. I'm not the biggest fan either. But there's every indication that he's a good guy. Breathe in... Breathe out.wab wrote:I keep reading stuff about him that makes me want to not hate him, but I still hate him.UOK wrote:This is so depressing.

Well said.G08 wrote:Glennon offers the gift of potential. We don't know how much -- if at all -- he has grown in the past 2 seasons when he hasn't been playing. Maybe he's gotten better moving in the pocket, throwing on the run, etc.
I like that he's been studying the NFL game for the past 2 years and preparing like he was still a starter. We'll see how it translates. I'm not holding my breath, though.
I actually wanted him as a developmental guy for the bears back in 2013, but I was hoping to get him in the 4th or 5th round. Hopefully he has improved to the point where he can be a solid game manager going forward, which is better than we've had around here for awhile. That would also make his contract very reasonable.

People are so negative. He's a good kid, and he wasn't terrible when he played. People act like he was a disaster, but as a rookie on a bad team he held his own! Then he got screwed by Lovie who doesn't exactly have a glowing track record in QB evaluation.
I personally think fans are going to be surprised by him, but I feel like there's nothing to be gained by being negative about him. At least give him a chance and maybe even support him as a fan base? At least he's not Cutler.

I know he has a giraffe's neck, still, it's amazing that he can be so tall since he has no feet. Think back on the statues you've known. How many, once they'd thrown 30 TD passes, still had no rushing TD? How many, once they'd passed for over 4000 yards, still had less than 100 yards rushing?

Who really cares if he had rushing TDs, he has a 2:1 TD to INT ratio. He has weapons he will get the ball to and that's all that really matters because this isn't 1932 and we aren't running the wishbone.Middleguard wrote:I know he has a giraffe's neck, still, it's amazing that he can be so tall since he has no feet.

Thanks.Nanky wrote:Peyton Manning only ran for over 100 yards in a year 3 times. He also had 9 years with no rushing TD.
I believe Manning threw 30 TD passes before he scored one himself, and I believe he threw for 4000 yards before he gained 100 for himself.
But here's the really weird thing about this comparison (which is unfortunately the only one anyone will ever make):
PM averaged 29.94 TDs passing per TD rushing and 3997 yards per rushing TD. So, so very creepily close.

I do not think you are correct in dismissing mobility in today's NFL.BamaBear09 wrote:Who really cares if he had rushing TDs, he has a 2:1 TD to INT ratio.

He won't stick his neck out for a few yards..but he could if he held the ball high..
As long as he can move in the pocket and feel pressure and react correctly..

My goofy avatar in no way represents any disdain for the new QB.
Personally, I trust Pace enough to see this thing through a few more years= which its going to take.
Glennon might just turn out to be a pleasant surprise.

I like that he wants to incorporate some of Dirk Koetter's offense into our system; that dude is a pretty bright X's and O's guy.
