Sell me on Mike Glennon
Right now I don't see anything about the guy that I like.
I haven't watched any more than about 2 minutes of live game footage. I've seen a bunch of highlights of his throws on youtube. I want to like the guy. I want him to be good so people will stop bitching about how supposedly terrible this year's QB class is, but every time I watch something of his, I get turned off. He's 2nd round material at best to me that will (possibly) get taken in the top 10? Some people even have him as the top QB off the board? That's pure insanity to me. Tell me/show me stuff about Mike Glennon that will change my mind. I promise to withhold all preconceived notions about the guy in this thread for the purposes of trying to like him. Based on the stuff I have watched so far, no. He's NOT better than Geno Smith, and he won't ever be. But I'm tired of shitting on him when everybody is talking him up as potentially a good pro QB. |

Why?
Why do you want to be sold on the 4th or 5th best option when you have the #1 pick? |

I'm just tired of shitting on him in discussions about QBs. I'm not looking for the Chiefs to draft him, but if there's something good about the guy that people really like, I want to know what it is.

More selling points on Mike Glennon.
-Has 2 years experience in a pro style WCO. -All ACC Academic team. Kid is really smart. Graduated in 3 years and is working on his masters. Never dropped a class. -Very good in the intermediate throws. -Can make good throws downfield. -Goes through progressions almost every play. -Reads defenses well and can fool DB's with his eyes. -Very strong arm. Not elite, but 2nd tier like Joe Flacco. Watch this Clemson (63rd ranked D, 1 higher than OU) game to get another great look at his abilities. Like I said before, his accuracy problems are a mirage. In previous threads, it was noted that his receivers dropped 12 passes in the NC and Maryland game. In this Clemson game, his WR's dropped 5 balls that should have been easy catches. If those 17 passes were caught, like they should have been, his completion % is 61.5. And yes he does check down a lot, but I don't blame him. His WR's suck ass and get no separation while his OL is getting beat constantly. |

I think he's no better than fourth round material in a normal world.
He's got excellent arm strength and a very good delivery, but he's very inaccurate when he's forced to make a throw. He gets anxious when the game gets put into his hands. He's got better than ideal size, is smart and understands football from what I hear. He just struggles when the pressure starts to mount and he's not very accurate in the mid to deep areas of the field, especially on anything other than straight post patterns. He's no better a prospect than someone like Osweiler or Mallet from recent drafts. A better person but a worse football player actually. IMO, he'd make a terrific third QB running the scout team. That's his ceiling as far as I see it. |

.The qb position is so important to get right that I favor drafting Geno and using even a second or third round pick on a raw guy with upside. I don't know if Glennon fits that Bill. But the iefs seem convinced that stanzi does not

If true doesn't that make him a backup QB, at best? it will take about 3 games before defenses learn that all you have to do is spook him and he turns to shit.
