A lot of the scouting reports say these draft QBs won't be day-1 starters (or shouldn't be) but that they may be some solid franchise QBs. If Pace still brings in a QB in a 1st or 2nd round, then maybe we will be fine. I am going to wait and see how it all unfolds. I am glad we are moving on from Cutler. Glennon isn't seen as the franchise QB. Just a placeholder for now. I'd rather have him than Cutler for that role.
yeah, I do not think Glennon is any better than Cutler -- again.... JMO but I'm not going to cry about Cutler. He was not going to get us to win a SB, so whatever. It had to happen at some point. I just wanted someone better.... and maybe Glennon is it. But we need to go after a really good RT hard. Glennon is not mobile. Jay could scramble.
And we don't know that Pace does not view Glennon as a franchise QB. All we know is that we don't.

All we can do is wait and see how it all works out. I'll bet we do draft a QB in this draft.
My gut feeling is that Pace will not take a QB in the first round. I'd love to see him do that, but I just don't think he will. If that is the case and he passes on drafting a QB in the 1st round, then my hope is that he does have a guy spotted who will be there in the 2nd round.
The Glennon thing implies a few things to me:
1) They wanted Cutler GONE....yesterday 2) Pace doesn't love any of the rookie QBs at least as a day 1 starter 3) Fox's fingerprints are all over this. If he flops with MG in '17, he's gone like Cutler
I've seen this a lot too...you don't think Fox would have rather had Hoyer? Nothing about this says Fox to me.
really good listen about Glennon from a beat guy. TB beat guy was on w/real knowledge about him. Apparently Dirk Koetter REALLY wanted to keep him; and felt that if Winston went down that they could insert Glennon in and win with him.
but better point made, this is what happens when you don't draft a qb in rds 1-3 for 10 years.
