Sell me on Mike Glennon

Something I found very interesting was that Geno threw into double coverage about 3x more than all the QB's and his 4th quarter yards nosedived on this chart.


If anything, this chart doesn't prove that we should draft Geno. It doesn't prove that we should draft Wilson either. It proves that Glennon and Barkley are the guys to look at.

I'm not the biggest Barkley fan, but I would not be mad at all if we took him at 1. I don't think he's getting enough credit.

Good lord, Wilson gets more excuses around here than anyone I've ever seen.


It's almost comical your hate for Geno at this point.

Question. Does Geno have elite accuracy in your eyes?

Very good but not elite IMO. I think the system at WVU helps with that a lot via screens and short/intermediate passes. Barkley threw a lot of short passes too from what I saw.

Not sold on his deep ball accuracy.

So he throws into 3 coverage and double coverage more than any of the others and at a higher rate, yet he completes a higher percentage in doing so, but he doesn't have elite accuracy? Got it.


Like I said, hope we don't draft him. He doesn't deserve it.

FYI. The guy who got these numbers said he picked like 8 games from last season for each player. These were not based on their career numbers.

Which is why Wilson's percentages are so low.

So in a year that was the most important for him, in terms of his NFL dream, he was really not very accurate? Ok. I thought these guys had to step up in big games, but I could be wrong.

You are either ridiculously Geno-biased, or just unfamiliar with the absolute shithouse that was Arkansas football this year.

I'm actually an Arkansas fan, so I know exactly what happened in Fayetville this year.


Just showing that we have to hold these other guys to the same standards as we do Geno.


And I'd like to actually see Wilsons numbers from last year, because IIRC, he threw a shit ton more underneath crossing routes with better wr's, who went on to make plays.

[O.city]

I love that Austin and Bailey make Geno. Yet it is used as an excuse for Wilson that he lost some of his WR's last year, or that Glennon's WR's had stone hands.


It has nothing to do with Geno's accuracy, it's all about those two.

Bridgewater could be good. WILL he be good, though?

Matt Barkley, Tyler Wilson, and Tyler Bray were supposed to be amazing this year, and we were supposed to see incredible leaps in production from EJ Manuel, Logan Thomas, and Geno Smith.

The only guy this year who did anything like that was Geno Smith.

Next year's class has precisely ONE QB who can be looked at with any kind of high expectation. Aaron Murray is a ****o. And AJ McCarron can go **** an otter.

Maybe Tajh Boyd can REALLY improve going into next season to make up a decent QB class. Otherwise I see it being treated as a very 2008ish year. And that's with the assumption that Bridgewater will be any good.

[O.city]

But, like I said earlier in the thread, I am firmly on the Alex Smith bandwagon at this point.


So all of this, doesn't really matter to me.

[B14ckmon]

Lol.

Bridgewater is already considered to be a potential #1 pick and Heisman candidate next year unless he regresses. I have been following Geno for 5 years and I don't ever remember people thinking he would be a possible #1 draft pick before this last year.

And Tajh Boyd was 36/13 with 10 rushing TDs and just dismantled LSU.

Lousville and Clemson should both be in the top 10 next year consistently.

Also my love for Teddy is not a knock on Geno. They are both from when I grew up. We just need good pass rushing to move to our new coaches defense, and if we don't get it this year than we better be getting Clowney next year.

Here is the stat that has be concerned the most about Geno and Wilson.


Taking snaps under center. The NFL while envolving still you need to take snaps under center and perform while doing it.

Of course all 4 of them will be top 10 picks IMO.
