Mike Glennon Expected To Land 14-15 Mil Per Season

[bearmick]

Thought ud rather start Barkley instead of going after glennon

My ideal for Bourbannais is

1) Veteran (or ideally the #3 pick if he's ready right away)
2) #3 pick
3) Shaw

Whether the veteran is Glennon, Barkley, Hoyer or Cutler doesn't matter to me as much as the development and success of the draft pick (if he can start immediately, all the better).

The bonus I'd like from the veteran is the possibility of him holding down the fort in the event that the draft pick is a bust. Obviously Cutler and Hoyer don't fit that profile, so it would be down to Glennon or Barkley. I was all about giving Barkley a chance last year but he kept getting worse. Glennon seems easily the most likely to serve as insurance in case the draft pick doesn't work out.

...when you remember it's the Bears we're talking about here...

This franchise is if nothing else laughably predictable. It's so easy even a caveman could do it. Just imagine the dumbest possible solution to any problem and boom that's what the Bears will do.

This franchise/GM doesn't have the testicular fortitude to actually sack up and make a proper evaluation using the #3 pick to resolve the QB issue plaguing them for 30+ years. So of course they're going to take the easy way out bungling the QB situation yet again overpaying for a FA bum like Glennon. Of course they're squander having the #3 pick on some non-QB bust that will probably miss half the season with injuries.

What's funny is I honestly didn't think my expectations could be lower than they were going into last season, but congrats Pace you're about to do the impossible. A Mike Glennon signing would bring them down to negative numbers. Keep up the amazing work! Maybe by year 9 of the "rebuild" we'll actually get a QB that doesn't suck a bag of dicks.

Let's also bring your QB whisperer Trestman back and he'll have Glennon playing like an all pro in no time.

Nothing will be more entertaining than watching The Statue get edge rushed while throwing wounded ducks to Bellamy LOL.

And when we finish 2-14 and get the 1st overall pick, Pace will pass on a stud QB to pick another one-legged WR.

Still makes no sense... Why the **** would you pay Glennon $14/15M to be a temporary stop gap when you could sign Hoyer again to do the same thing for $2M?!?

Hmmm, let's see. Glennon was a 3rd round draft choice, stayed with his original team until his contract ran out, replaced in the starting job by the #2 pick in the draft, and apparently offered $8M/yr to remain as a backup. Hoyer was an UDFA, been on and let go by seven different teams, and apparently valued at ~$2M/yr as a backup by the league as a whole. Seems pretty clear how the NFL values Glennon and Hoyer respectively. I must admit that I'm shocked, shocked to find out that many CCS MBers don't agree with the NFL's assessment...

Is it possible that your in possession of an extra chromosome that simply makes it impossible for you to answer even the most basic of questions?

Again I ask "Does the money/contract predicate or influence the likelihood of the Bears drafting a QB @ 3?"

I did not ask " Does the way the draft unfolds influence the likelihood of the Bears drafting a QB? Any idiot would know the answer to that question.

I answered the question by saying I think it depends. I then provided an example where the money isn't the issue but rather it's how he has the QBs ranked. That was my way of saying the money is the main factor here. If he was rumored to get paid 20 million then the money would matter. Since he's not I think the primary factor here is how he rates the QBs.

News flash, Hoyer will make more money this year. With or without the bears.

 

[Broc]

Everyone saying they'd rather have Hoyer and that's a crock... don't be so daft. You'll be turning your television off at halftime of every game.

As opposed to Glennon where I won't even bother turning on my TV at all lol.

There's no justification to take a QB with the #3 pick. You draft those type of guys to step in immediately and start and this team does not have the weapons to bring in a rookie QB. Your going to bring in a guy like Watson to have him throw to who? Cam Meredith? Kevin White who can't stay healthy? Jeffery isn't worth the money he thinks he's worth so let someone else overpay for him. The rookie QBs available in the draft will not succeed in the current state that the Bears are in.

I couldn't disagree more. If 2017 is expected to be a wasted year anyways then what better time for a rookie to start then when there are literally zero expectations. Might as well get him on the field learning right away in a year that doesn't mean anything that way when the team actually is ready to compete the QB has already taken his lumps and developed alongside the rest of the team.

We FINALLY have the opportunity to make a clean break from Cutler and a fresh start with a top rookie QB... But no... **** that... let's yet again kick the can down the road and overpay for some FA bum so we can get "good BPA value" with another David Fales type mid/late round project QB. Brilliant!

 

[RacerX]

expected another crap bs excuse for signing glennon like most mind numb bear fans out there accept as a plausible move. But like the twist to thread topic lol lol perfect explanation of an inept team and management

its like politics. Cause of upcoming elections cant make any defining moves might hurt reelection. Always protecting their ass instead of doing best for country. Same with these jack offs running this team. Glennon buys them a few more years of employment instead of putting themselves out there and drafting a franchise qb with pick 3. Its beyond pathetic

This practice is more commonly known to as "Gar-Paxing".

 

[Wild_x_Card]

And if Glennon turns out to be Cousins lite, will people still be upset? Of course they will because bitching on the internet is as hard a habit to break as chain smoking.

 

[Chinese]

If they sign Glennon znd be pissed but hope he proves us wrong

[CHICAGOMIDWAYMONSTERS]

Its simple....Draft Watson and sign Terrell Pryor

 

[CHICAGOMIDWAYMONSTERS]

Glennon is a statue that cant scramble worth a lick!

What I don't understand though is how Glennon is viewed better than Hoyer. Please help me understand this.

Because he had a pretty good rookie year and then Lovie happened along and decided to start Josh McCown. 19 TDs and 9 Interceptions is a good year for a rookie. He is physically more talented than Hoyer yet doesn't throw a ton of picks so I presume people may view him as a guy that will take the dink and dunk when it's required but who unlike Hoyer possesses the arm to make intermediate and deeper throws that Hoyer could not. All told, Glennon's rookie stats were better than Wentz's IMO. Wentz threw for more yards but had less TDs, more interceptions and a worse

Who had the better rookie year? Glennon already had more TDs, less interceptions, and a better passer rating than Wentz and if you adjust for pass attempts then Glennon would have thrown 3,800 yards with 27 TDs, and 13 Interceptions. Maybe he is incapable of sustaining things if you increase the volume but it is fair for someone to want to give him a chance to see if he can. It took Hoyer 7 years to have a season that was comparable in 2015 with Houston. Glennon did it his rookie year.

 

[Mdbearz]

It is crazy to think that paying Glennon means we will not draft a QB.

I've been asking this for a week now.. Simply Hoyer >> Glennon ...

Here is an easier question for the Glennon supporters. What is Mike Glennon's best NFL game? He has never had 2 back to back 300 yard games. Hoyer had 4 back to back 300+ yard games 3 of which he had 2 TD and 0 INT. Glennon had 2 300 yard games in his career, one of which he only had 50% completion and took him 42 attempts. The other he had 44 attempts and the yards all can in garbage time of a 17-48 loss.

Also, Hoyer already has the playbook and this will be he second year in the system. This would allow the rookie to take more snaps with the first sting offense, helpoing progress him faster, maybe giving him the opportunity to start day 1. If the sign Glennon he would need the large majority of the snaps to get familiar with the new system.

I never thought the day would come, where I would find myself agreeing with Broc on the QB situation. I need a drink.

What if the resolution is not taking a QB that would be nothing better than a 3rd round... bah... pick in any normal year with pick number 3.

BeLLamy is such a yeast-infected trash-farming hamster salt-lick

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

The more I think about what Pace has done in the past this makes sense to me.

For Pace free agency is all about filling holes. Preferably with younger guys that may have upside. Glennon is just filling a hole. He can start. Pace I'm sure feels he still has some upside. Hole filled.... On to the next hole.

Then he is free to draft BPA. Because he is so married to the BPA strategy I don't expect a QB at #3. We'll probably get Allen or Adams. Maybe a surprise like Hooker, Foster or a CB.

Anyone who has read my posts before knows I disagree with this. I think QB trumps all else. But just looking at what Pace has done in the past this fits perfectly with his previous strategy. Oh well. I've been shit on by the Bears enough lately that I'll of course still follow them. But I'm not going to expend any emotional energy on them. :shrug:

I laughed at that so hard, I choked on my bottle of water.... Damn you!
