Sell me on Mike Glennon

[RunKC]

Here's a selling point.

Geno Smith played 6 defenses in the top 50 and had a record of 1-5.

Mike Glennon played 5 defenses in the top 50 and had a 3-2 record, including beating the best defense in the entire country (Florida State) while putting up a 7 TD/7 INT ratio with an offense worse than Geno's.

Before the bowl game, Glennon had 6 TD's to 4 INT's against those top teams.

Out of those 5 losses the only 1 you can really "blame" on Geno was the K-State game. WVU was out coached in that game.

You are so quick to throw Geno under the bus, but I think you forget how bad WVUs defense was this year. Without Geno WVU finishes dead last in the Big 12

TDs 11
INTs 5

He threw 6 ints all year, 5 of them in the losses. So that proves my point on how much this WVU team depended on him. Without Geno, WVU and KU have a turd fight at the bottom.

When Glennon is bad, he's real bad. He threw 17 ints this year

Just stop with this nonsense. Geno throws bubble screens and quick out passes 80% of the time of course teams won't pick those passes off.

If you seriously think that, you havent watched any wvu games other than the pinstripe bowl and should probably just sit this one out.

Exactly. Geno does throw a lot of screens and quick outs, but he also throws crazy deep balls on the money. Have you watched any of his games? The kid can make EVERY single throw a good QB needs to make. He throws fade passes into the endzone better than a lot of pros.

I respect everyones opinion, even yours. But you have got to do more homework on Geno before you say things like this.

Selling point number 2 on Mike Glennon: beating the best defense in the entire country.



Down 16-3 in the 4th quarter and throwing 2 TD's to beat the best defense in the country.
Threw game winning TD on 4th down with 16 seconds left in the game.

This is the most impressive thing any QB in this class has done all season long.

Well I had to turn it off just after he threw the interception after the two minute mark in the video. I'm sure he may have made good plays later in the video, but man he made some REALLY bad throws to start off in that video. I can also see a hitch in the throw that is causing more float on his passes than neccessary, which is something a guy at 6'6 shouldn't have to do.

Geno beat the #1 and #2 defense in college football last year.

Things I learned about Glennon watching this highlight tape:

1) He's really good at throwing crossing routes to guys that have a step on their defender
2) He checks down a LOT
3) He's not very mobile (though he can throw a bit when on the move)
4) He makes a lot of risky throws

I didn't see any WOWing throws on that highlight tape.

Does anyone really think that FSU's defense is the best in the country? C'mon.

FSU is statistically ranked the 2nd best defense in the country behind Alabama.

Bjoern Werner (top 5 projected NFL draft pick) and Tank Carradine gave FSU the best pass rush of any team. Both had 10+ sacks.

Everette Dawkins is one of the best run stoppers in the draft this year.

Xavier Rhodes is said to be the 2nd best talent CB in the draft and is expected to be taken in the first round.

They also have a couple more younger guys who are going to be high draft picks in the future.

Um yeah they are the best this year.
