NFL Draft Sell me on Mike Glennon - Page 7

SNR · 12-19-2012, 12:02 PM

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.

Comparing him to college Flacco, they both seem to use their height well, and pick apart the defense with short and intermediate routes. Both capable of throwing the deep ball, but hesitant to. He could be Flacco, but won't have Baltimore's defense to lean on, so he won't have near the immediate success.

Even if he becomes Flacco, he certainly wouldn't be worth the #1 overall.

I can see the Flacco comparison.

No, you can' t pick 2 qbs in round 1 and 2. Maybe in the third round we could take a project QB but the 2nd round pick should really be used to help our first round QB unless there's some clear BPA on defense.

He's 6-6 and has a big arm.

That seems to be the limit of the fascination.

Assweiler is 6-8 or whatever the hell he is and has a... well, it's an arm, I guess.

This has been my thinking the entire time on Glennon.

Molitoth · 12-28-2012, 10:21 AM

bumping this.

Watch the youtube vids and contemplate WTF Kiper among others are thinking that this kid is going to be better than Geno Smith.

I watched everything with an open mind and I just don't see "it".

O.city · 12-28-2012, 10:22 AM

TBH, I don't see how you can like Glennon anymore than Bray, for the fact that everything Glennon does well, Bray has done better against better teams.

**bevischief** · 12-28-2012, 10:51 AM

I have watch a few and looked up his stats on Glennon and going WTF? I have watched several of Geno's games this year and a few of the other quarterbacks talked about going the first round and still believe Geno should be the first quarterback taken in round one.

This !

IMHO, I see the top 5 as..... now where they are selected is the next question. All 5 have the possibility to go 1st rd depending on individual workouts, nothing later than 3rd rd.

1 Geno
2 Wilson
3 Bray
4 Glennon
5 Barkley

Dayze · 12-28-2012, 11:51 AM

I'd also take a shot on Murray in the later rounds. Chiefs need to come away with at least 2 QBs IMO

Why would you have Bray and Glennon over Barkley? Because they're tall? Wth have they ever done in college? At least Barkley is a winner.

aturnis · 12-28-2012, 11:54 AM

I'm telling you, the guys upside is Joe Flacco. Period. I am REALLY starting to think Kiper is on the take (as has been rumored) and is talking up certain agents clients. It might not get Glennon taken #1, but might persuade a team to take him in the 1-3 round area.

Barkley was lucky enough to be on a winning team, he is not a playmaker that is short on talent.

He has regressed this year over last year,IMHO has little upside.

The others have more upside.
