it wasnt a bash on your post, I get it. just beat writers themselves. The problem is I cant shake this feeling that this is the Bears solution to the QB position. How much they are reporting Bears are going to pay him is scary to me. You here of the positive qualities, that most QBs have to a certain extent, it isnt enough for me to say hes a viable option lead the Bears to the Super Bowl.

Yep, thats my fear too.

Everyone on NFL network had a good chuckle at some point about Glennon and the Bears. I think Pace has made some good moves but if he signs Glennon to a big contract things will reach a new low.

How much in cap would we have left if we front loaded his deal?

How much in cap would we have left if we front loaded his deal?

depends on the deal.. im not a cap guy.. so im just guessing

if cutlers base is roughly 12.5.. hit of 2 (2 mil left on restructure)... 10.5 .. im not sure if 2.5 roster is factored in somehow savings wise for this yr.. like i said... not a cap guy ... just guessing..

say year 1 at 20.5 mil... cap goes from 51ish to 41ish???

cut

urine = 41.8 mil
royal = 46.8 mil
houston = 49.8 mil
porter = 52.8
massie = 56.8 mil
sutton = 58.3 mil

could go 25-30 mil yr 1 if its all that

I agree. Everyone losing their minds before then pen has even been put to paper and we know the contract details. I agree that Glennon isn't worth $15 million a year, but the market dictates a player's value and teams don't let top QBs walk. 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. 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.

We don't have a lot of weapons in the passing game agreed, but if we build the defense (which it is getting better, on it's way to being dominant again) we won't need more than a game manager with that boy Jordan Howard.

Glennon is not the answer....I believe the Bears know this.....they will draft a QB

Draft a QB. Take a look at Glennon. At least they are looking around. I thought he deserved development from his surprising efforts with a bad team around him.

As a rookie he was supposed to function a bad team?

Except you ignored the premise of my entire post. They can sign Glennon and still draft a QB in the top 3 rounds. Until such time that they bypass drafting a QB because of Glennon, all you are doing is getting worked up over a scenario that isn't any more likely than the one I presented. Or do you have some inside scoop at Halas Hall that says drafting Glennon means they will not draft a QB in the first 3 rounds?

Who the hell wants a 2nd or 3rd round QB given the state of the Bears? We have a once in a generation opportunity to pick in the top 3 and choose a leader and direction for this team. Someone that the players can rally around, and gives the fans a bit of hope. We don't need to look for value after everyone has sorted over the group like we always do, we can get our guy. Why would we pass this opportunity up?

And there isn't a #3 value QB in the draft. It just happened. What do you want from them? If they take a QB they aren't doing their job. Not sure about Watson. Glennon could be a 15,000,000 smokescreen for all we know. And a long term plan to groom him for a year. A player like Watson might actually save Fox from firing on hope alone if you sit him, then play him at the end when other teams are hurt...honestly looking at the schedule...Glennon for first 11 weeks....Watson for last 5....(or other rookie QB or Barkley) and finding a spark....might be the only way to save Fox.

Do you SERIOUSLY expect us to win more than 4 games in `17?!!! Lol! I hope youre wrong because next year we stand a better chance of getting the stud qb everyone is clamouring for this year. Next years draft is loaded with qb talent. All hyperbole aside i think this team can show some signs its heading in the right direction next season but with the tough schedule and personal as yet to be determined i think we should all temper our expectations. Heres hoping for a great draft:success:

Yes, I believe they will win at least 7.

I couldn't care less about saving Pace/Fox's job, and ownership needs to take an interest in this pick to make sure it's not squandered for that reason. Guys with one foot out the door shouldn't solely be making these kind of decisions, see Mike Martz.

If they sign Glennon, doubtful that Pace\Fox go QB at #3. OT will become a much bigger priority with the ginger's cement feet. Wouldn't be surprised if pace trades down too

Yes, I believe they will win at least 7.

nah. NFC South. Ascending Bucs with 3rd year franchise QB with cannon and weapons. Probably weaponize this off-season.
Saints. Brees. Weaponizing. Falcons. Weaponized.
Panthers. Newton. Keuchly back. Benjamin second year from injury boost. Time to find a pass rush and some corners. and then add something fucked up like Fournette or Mike Williams. Maybe draft a corner like Lattimore or get Adams in secondary behind Keuchly my god. Or my god Hooker/Keuchly middles.

I digress. So...our division...where everyone is good. TWICE.

Steelers. Nope. Ravens. ? Bengals ? And Browns. winnable. maybe. lol

Then...We got added the Eagles ? and 49ers. winnable. Ok...where are the wins?

We are fucked man. Sorry. but 2 winnables. 3 question marks. (why am I such a ***** today? sorry) 2 wins in division. 3 at most. shiiiittt....4-6 wins if everything goes well.

3-6 wins is like a 90% probability for my machine mind guessing. 2-7 would be a wide range I am 99% confident in. If I'm wrong its cuz 0 or 1 happened. Is what I think, as its more likely we lose all of the Ravens, Bengals, Lions twice and Eagles than it is we steam roll the Packers, Steelers, Panthers, Packers, @Vikings, Ravens, Bengals part of the schedule. When it gets like that at some point or some shit.

We are going to want to fire everyone and I don't think its the proper reaction. We are in a rebuild, still searching for QB, and not prepared for a gauntlet like that without some tremendous luck this off-season.

Glennon!! Glennon!! Glennon!!

Is it too early to start at the front of the fan club for turkey neck chicken leg puppy monkey baby? Yeahhhhhhh!!!! I say again my Bears brothers...yeahhhhhhhhhh. oooooohhhhhhh. To quote Arnold Swarzenegger most time appropriate and opportunistically..."its like I'm cumming all the time? You know? At the gym I'm cumming. I'm cumming in the mirrior in the bathroom you see? Cumming with my wife. And then maybe some pushups in the bathroom...I'm cumming again. Yes?"

Say it with me.....

Glennnnnnnnoonnnnnnn. Glennnnnnnnnoonnnnn. Yeahhhhhhhhhh. We got Puppy Monkey Ginger mother *******!!! suck our dick. You can has Winston. We'll take the guy that never got the proper look. You can write that book. Glennon was alllll, it took.

He carried the Bears. The mighty champion. His eyes will turn as red as the flames on his head.
The flame in his heart, they will never extinguish.

Ok....now..stategally. Lets look at this, through the mist. I'm there my friends. In the fog. Now...I can hear the whispers on the wind...and collective...the energy of all life, how does a spider walk without a brain? What could our brain do if it were the size of a spider friend? Could we walk to the store, and buy milk?
OMellllloott. I just want to say...**** you. For no reason except I'm manic or high on drugs or whatever and its on my mind.
Its probably a state such as this, where I originally connect eggs to being green, and yellow, and pegged you for a Packer troll. My old nemisis. If I was wrong. I apoligize...for everything. Except the text above. That you can keep.

Moving on...strategy....

Pace. Well...please god I just hope we know Barkley is in the competition. I hope its a 3 way competition and I ain't talking about Shaw or Hoyer. Although, if Pace doesn't draft a QB at all...I'll be wrong...and I have to respect him. Balls. That would be big balls, and sticking to his game. Wow. Ok...I could be wrong...

but Glennon is a look at a player who deserves a second chance, that has some upside, that has had some time since we saw them last, exposure to different coaches and systems, and is looking to compete for a starting job somewhere and get his next chance. Why wouldn't we be that guy that gives him a chance?

Its also an expensive smokescreen. From a strategy stand point whether intentional or not. Everyone will take us off #3 QB watch because we payed so much money. I mean almost BECAUSE we made a franchise investment (at a good value if it panned out), but as a smoke screen value immediately.

Look...now Cleveland weighs what they hold at #11 differently, because they view #3 going down differently "in probability." With Garrett the massive temptation to risk it...it could be enough where they hope their QB is there at 11.

Am I too far off base on that domino effect of this move? Because this move at 15,000,000 has that effect, I have to wonder if Pace is an evil genius.

And evil genius would have their eye on a QB, either Trubs, or Kizer, or Watson....and really want them. That could be "THE PLAN" as in a masterplan. And they know they want Glennon either way. Paying him dramatically and outbidding everyone...is kinda funny. But it also does this.

It sends a message that we really have our eye on someone, and we will smile big in the media and say he is the man. Would be crazy if Jeffery got on board and doubled down on his Super Bowl guarantee. Like if it was orchestrated with Pace/Jeffery.

Then bam we draft DeShaun Watson or Trubs or Kizer...all 3 can run and throw. It would be a sharp move. I'm gonna give up trying to guess between all these QB's. I'm not close enough to the process. Don't know the weight room reports, the trainer reports, the doctor reports, the home ed teacher in high school interview. We have to give Pace the benifit of the doubt sometimes. He has access to alot of information we don't have the privilege too.

So in Pace we trust. Suspension of disbelief. Maybe he is not an idiot. Ok? Maybe? That tranlates to **** Omelotte to some...but to me...I don't know. Maybe he IS an idiot. He either is or he isn't.

If he is not, I think Glennon served as a nice smokescreen whoever his QB preference is. And who cares what round it is, or he schemes to try to get it done. This is Paces show, its interesting. If he likes Kaaya who they scouted extensively for years for instance, and he trusts it because he knows of him so well...well...he still gets better value potentially after the Glennon move.

Barkley. Glennon. Kaaya (or any other QB). Is doing his job finally.

1st round. Genius smokescreen.
2nd round. Brilliant.
3rd round. Nice job well done.
4th round. Damn. We drafted Kelly or couldn't pass on somebody interesting who fell and Pace is one crazy mother ****** with giant balls. Shaven. But giant balls.
5th round. Again. If Pace were to pull a QB from any round at this point he is on a whole other level of genius from any of us. He is beyond my comprehension of what the potential for alien intelligence capacities could be.

So...in conclusion. The Glennon move is brilliant, because it makes Pace look brilliant whatever round he now drafts a QB in, or as a bridge to a QB he has his eyes on (using Fox as his 2017 fall guy) and landing a Donald or Jackson.

This is one way that grabbing a talent from another team as your "start now guy" while grooming a draft pick at some point, is superior to just staying with Barkley or Hoyer.

If we stay with just Barkley or Hoyer, the whole world thinks we are locked onto drafting somebody. They are trying to guess who and when and thinking about jumping us.

I think this takes us down a notch on the radar.

Barkley vs Glennon/Garrappollo and then a rookie, plus Shaw on PS would be a nice collection to be sifting through for the next year and a half.

It comes down to the cost between Glennon and Garroppollo. One is cash. One is debilitating, when he could just be had in 2018 (hometown Jimmy anyone?)

So...Jimmy might actually stay in New England and back-up Brady next year. Insurance is worth alot when your QB is 40.

Or Jimmy could deny extension to the Browns who made that risk and won with Collins. And become available.

So why not look at Glennon for no cost of picks? Then get Garrappolo for no cost of picks if it doesn't work out?

GLENNON GLENNON GLENNON!!!

Where there is smoke, there is fire. Ginger bush fire!! The first Chicago QB...a fire breathing Ginger for the city known for fire. Destiny. His aerodynamic super neck will crane and cut through the wind with super effeciency as he scans the field over the Lines warring beneath him.

His bionic super-neck will rotate left, then right, as easily escapes the rush and steps into safety and his speedy receivers darting too and fro.

The world ain't ready for Glennon/Fangio mother *******. Now get that man a secondary Pace!! Like a badass one. Complete that D....find me that back-up NT we need, and find me another edge piece to replace Houston. Or Houston rebirth? Dead? not dead? new piece? we shall see. Super Floyd?Yoked?

Super White? Yoked? Super Merideth? Yoked? Yes please. And may Braverman morph into Julian Edelman.

GLENNON GLENNON GLENNON!!!!

We did it now boys. We did it now. 4-12

Mike Glennon had 2600 yards, 19 TD's and 9 INT's in 13 games in his rookie year with the 22nd ranked rushing attack (Bobby Rainey was their leading rusher) and literally no other receiver other than Vincent Jackson.

The player with the 2nd most receptions on that team was Tim Wright.

He also played behind an O-line that allowed the 6th most sacks that year.

So Glennon literally had one of the worst supporting casts offensively in the NFL and still had a productive rookie year.
