Mike Glennon Expected To Land 14-15 Mil Per Season

[bearmick]

Also.....I'm not opposed to a QB room of

1. Barkley
2. Hoyer
3. Gabbert
4. 2nd or 3rd round pick
5. 5th round pick
PS Shaw

Unfortunately you can't take positive attributes from each and Weird Science your ideal player.

I would rather take Watson and just fucking go for it, than have an army of garbage and hope that one of them shows something.

 

[JeffSpicoli]

sigh, I really hope the Bears dont sign this clown.

 

[didshereallysaythat]

I'm with you on AJ. Great jump ball receiver who doesn't seem to like playing here, cuts off routes, sits out with any and all minor ailments. I'm good on letting him hit FA too.

As for the QB, I honestly don't care if they sign Glennon or not; I just hope that isn't his primary effort to address the position. If he drafts one of the top QBs I'll be happy. Whether he thinks Hoyer, Cutler or Glennon is the best veteran to have on the roster, I really don't care that much.

Could you imagine if we got to the draft night and Cutler was still on the roster? People would be freaking the **** out. Not me though. Unless we actually went through the draft without getting a top guy.

I agreed when I first read this and chuckled...

However...I have no idea what happens when you put Hoyer in the room with Gabbert(with new coaches), study film together, talk shop, iron out some kinks...get some Hoyer advice, learn how and what he watches on film...

Next thing you know Gabbert who has all the tools is ascending? We don't know what the future potentials all are...we can only make the best decision in this moment and move forward like we trust it.

If the Bears sign this dude to $15 mil per season while letting Alshon walk, I will be taking a bath with the toaster.

Glennon had a better rookie year than Wentz. How the hell do people think he doesn't deserve another shot?

not athletic in lower body...or upper body. Stiff pocket passer with a slooooowwwwwwww release.

One thing he does...is throw lazers. I can see some similarities between him and Barkley....he might be just good enough to beat out Barkley with a bad coach like Fox who will lean toward the plan and the contract rather than a fair competition, and still doesn't know what he has in Barkley for some reason. But he won't make it to the 5th game of 2017 before we are like 1-3 and searching for a QB with a shit team...pulling our hair out and going why why why?

repeat in 2018.
2019.


Good job bears you are fucking incredible.

 

[legendxofxlink]

Glennon could possibly have the best QB body ever. He's like a giraffe with rocket arms. Who cares if he has legs, he's got a booth view scan of the field, he will find the open man

Disagree. Your scenario looks terrible. Would you want to be dating one ugly woman, or 5 ugly women? As Tiger Woods once said, "mo bitches, mo problems".

Perfect analogy.

 

[JP Hochbaum]

I am actually warming up to the idea of signing Glennon, under the caveat that it is a 2-3 year deal, and that we draft a qb this year as well.

If the Bears other option is to keep Jay or Hoyer then they only serve one purpose and that is to be a bridge qb for a draft choice we get this year.

With signing Glennon he serves as a bridge and as another spin at the wheel of trying to find a franchise qb. Right now his sample size is too small to determine if he or isn't that guy. So paying for this contract is worth it IMO, to see if this spin works.

If he sucks then we have a backup draft choice who can take the wheel. If he is a franchise qb then we have potential trade value with the drafted qb.

 

[remydat]

Let's see what the money is on Glennon before we go overboard. I don't like the idea of putting all our eggs in one basket so as long as a Glennon deal allows him to be cut after 2 years with minimal dead cap then I have no problem signing him and drafting another QB in the one of the top 3 rounds.

Of course, my preference is still take a QB at 3 particularly one whose last name is Watson.

 

[Raskolnikov]

That is kind of stretching the truth. The Bucs starting QB, Winston, is still on his rookie contract and only counts $7M against the cap. So the Bucs are obviously in a better position to pay their backup QB than, say, a team like the Packers or Saints. I'm not sure if the Bucs allegedly offering Glennon $8M/yr really means anything.

Its not a good situation for him unless he has resigned himself to being the back-up. At least with other situations he gets 8 million PLUS a shot to compete for time.

Even 4 million PLUS a shot to compete for 100,000,000 is better math for him.

Lets say that happens. You sign Glennon and you draft a QB at #3....aren't Glennon's days here immediately numbered? If not, doesn't that send a terrible signal about your organization? In your scenario, how are things supposed to play out? Glennon starts the first year, the #3 pick gets some time the 2nd year, and then what? Do you continue playing both guys? Do you actually conclude that Glennon is 'better' and look for ways to dump the #3 pick? To me, what you are proposing is the typical "Bears move" in that its the worst of both worlds....lets hire a GM, but force this new coach on him...lets franchise Alshon, but have no intention of signing him.

To me, if you are going to draft a QB #3, then Glennon's presence becomes a nuisance and is completely unnecessary. If you are going to sign Glennon to be your starter for the next couple years, then use that #3 pick on a guy like Myles Garrett or some other non-QB stud. I don't understand what you gain by signing Glennon and then drafting a QB.

I didn't say we have to draft a QB at 3. I said in one of the top 3 rounds. If Pace likes one of the 2nd or 3rd round QBs more than he likes one of the 1st round QBs then he may think it will take some time to groom said 2nd or 3rd round QB. In that instance, you have Glennon and then you play the rookie when he has earned it rather than simply anointing him.

Signing Glennon to a reasonable contract creates options. I'd personally feel more comfortable skipping a QB at 3 if we had Glennon as opposed to fucking Hoyer. If some great magic occurs and Glennon becomes a stud plus we have a young QB we believe will be a stud then quite frankly that's a good problem to have and I will worry about it when it happens.

If they do actually sign Glennon to $14-$15 mil per I think that means they don't view any of the quarterbacks as options at 3. I think what makes the most sense in the Glennon scenario is drafting a QB on the 2nd day. I think you will see Pace try to trade down and get as many 2nd day picks as he can. Take a QB and let them develop for 2-3 years. If you're planning on taking a QB at 3 then just re-sign Hoyer. You can't wait 2 years to play a top 5 pick at any position.

I'm seeing this as "smoke."

Per Rotoworld

Mike Glennon - QB - Buccaneers

ESPN's Jenna Laine reports "there's interest" in free agent Mike Glennon from the 49ers.
This is the first time we've seen Glennon linked to the Niners. He's mostly been connected to the Bears and Jets over the past week to 10 days. If signed as a starter, which we fully expect, Glennon is looking to command $13-15 million per year, which sounds high but would put him in the bottom 10-12 among starting quarterbacks. Glennon isn't much more than a game manager.

What I see this as is Pace driving up the market price of an entirely "underwhelming" QB in order to create a market for a Jay Cutler trade. Cutler is better and cheaper than the numbers being thrown around for Glennon. Very shrewd....

Also.....if a package is being put together to land Jimmy G.....might Hoyer be the veteran QB that they are looking for in New England?! He fits their system to a tee...

Pace is earning his paycheck...

Just saw that the Bears are interested in bringing Hoyer back as well as being interested in Glennon. It seems like they're gonna do what a lot of us are thinking which is sign a veteran and still draft a QB in the draft and if that's the case i'm fine with Hoyer or Glennon as long as they're just stop gaps for a young kid.

 

[dabears70]

so we can have kap on the FA market then? i dont hate the idea of kap like some ppl do..

I'm with you on this and have said a few times that i wouldn't mind bringing in Krap but for me it would be just like signing Glennon or Hoyer or keeping Cutl;er which would be for at most two years and still drafting a QB in this draft. I think we could win 8 or even 9 games with Krapernick.

 

[bearlythere]

As I said in another thread, Pace will sign Glennon and reach for Kaaya in the 2nd.

It is known.

 

[remydat]

If they do actually sign Glennon to $14-$15 mil per I think that means they don't view any of the quarterbacks as options at 3. I think what makes the most sense in the Glennon scenario is drafting a QB on the 2nd day. I think you will see Pace try to trade down and get as many 2nd day picks as he can. Take a QB and let them develop for 2-3 years. If you're planning on taking a QB at 3 then just re-sign Hoyer. You can't wait 2 years to play a top 5 pick at any position.

I wouldn't go that far. Suppose for example Pace has Trubisky as a QB worthy of the 3 pick but has late first or 2nd round grades on Watson, Kizer and everyone else.

Well in that instance, having Glennon in the fold means he doesn't have to reach for Watson, Kizer or someone else if Trubisky gets taken before his pick.

Point being most of us consider Watson/Kizer/Trubisky as all being graded similar but if Pace only has a top grade on one of the 3 then Glennon would represent a hedge in the event the one QB he wants at 3 ends up getting taken before the Bears pick. If instead that QB is available then **** it you take the dude and call it a day.

 

[Enasic]

Lol....how can anyone say keeping cutler is a good idea? He's overstayed his welcome by at least 3 seasons. If not more. He stunk up the place last year. The fan base and some of his own teammates want him gone. He's one of the worst options, really. I'd prefer hoyer or glennon over rolling cutler out there again.
