Bears' stubborn support of Glennon is hurting TV Ratings

That's quite possibly true but then he also knew that Fox would have a coronary if he was forced to play a rookie.  I'll grant that Glennon's size and arm strength give him an advantage over Hoyer but in this offense it doesn't look like arm strength will make much difference and that aside he's not all that accurate downfield anyway.

Maybe the more puzzling thing was why Pace offered him as much as he did when TB was only willing to offer $8 mil for one year.  We can forget about the $45 mil because he's never gonna see that but what he will see is $18.5 mil for one years work.  There's no way he's gonna get $15 mil in 2018 as the #2 so either we trade him if we can, cut him and eat the rest of his $4.5 mil guarantee, or Pace gets him to accept something far less than $15 mil to stick around as the #2.

That last option I wouldn't mind so much if we can't do better but I'm not sure we can't.  With as many top QBs ranked to go high next year that tells me some others are gonna be looking for work.

The Bears run, I know most won't agree, but a very complex O where the QB and WR will change reads/routes at the line based on Def's set ups. Go watch the brett kollmann breakdown of Balt vs Cincy, Balt is baiting Dalton into throws, and sometimes technically good decisions are wrong b/c of great def plays. Now go watch Hou vs Cincy, Watson(also super athletic) is getting baited constantly by the Bengals, and he's still hit 4 tims for all his mobility. 

My guess is the earliest Trubs starts is when the schedule gets a lot weaker and he has a full understanding of the playbook and how nfl def's work. That's mostly film study. The kid is talent ready but his head isn't; let that catch up and he'll be fine. 

Everything on most NFL offenses is based off zone reads.  From the line calls by the OC, to QB audibles, to how OL blocking assignments change during running plays, to how receivers and QBs adjust how routes are run and where to throw the ball as the play develops.  It is all very complex.  And the QB is the conductor of the orchestra and needs to understand all of it.

I have no idea when Trubsiky starts to play.  But IMO it's a good thing he is not starting now.

I wonder, when you get to Glennon's and Osweiler's size as a QB, if it doesn't start to be a DISadvantage rather than a plus.  It seems like both of those guys are awkward and non-agile in the pocket and both have big. slow windups and deliveries.  They also both have serious accuracy issues in doing the little stuff--hitting the receiver in stride, getting the ball to the correct shoulder, etc.  

That's the biggest reason why I was pounding the table for Trubisky here pre-draft.  Accuracy (and I mean more than just completion % but also fine-tune accuracy) is huge and Mitchell has it.  Lack of accuracy is highly correlated to failure in the NFL and it rarely is something that can be improved with a conditioning program or "coached up" like other facets of QB play.  

I'm over the Glennon experiment.  It was wasted money but fine I get that they wanted a younger guy than Hoyer who might have some serious upside.  They took a shot and missed the mark.  As I said earlier, Sunday was pretty much PEAK GLENNON.  He isn't going to suddenly or gradually get much better.  He can manage a game with a bland low-scoring offense and lose respectably.  He can probably beat some teams if the defense or STs makes a few big plays (the type he's not capable of).  But that's it.  Even if you think this season is pre-destined to be nothing more than 6-10 anyway, let's get Trubisky in there to make his rookie mistakes and gain some experience so we aren't in this same boat next September when we better be making a playoff run.
