That's the point BiH, an unkown is better then a known bad.
Who's widly enthusiastic about him??!?!?!?! Saying he's better then Hoyer and Cutler isn't showing wild enthusism. Saying he's likely a 2 year bridge for a rookie qb isn't wild enthusiasm!
So, yeah, I've been devils advocate on purpose and, I don't think he is going to be any better than Cutler, but that's just my opinion. It means pretty close to nothing. And if we get him, I'm going to be hoping I was wrong because we for sure need a winning QB. I just think ignoring a body of data just because it does not support what you want to happen is just setting yourself up. I want him to be good like every other Bears fan, but he is still 3-15 and for me anyway, it means something.
Oh you want to go off his tape, okay again read this, b/c apparenty you haven't:
Here's what Matt Bowen wrote up on him:
Mike Glennon tape (2013, 2014): Arm strength jumps off the screen. When throwing from a stable platform, Glennon can fit the ball into tight windows and hit the deep out, dig, seam, corner, fade. Ball comes out clean. And he is going to challenge defensive backs in coverage.
Good feel and anticipation off play action too. Find the lane and deliver the ball. I think Glennon has enough athleticism to produce on sprint and boot action. And he will show the ability to make the occasional off-schedule play. Keeps the eyes down the field.
Also works quickly through his progressions and improved reading coverages from Year 1 to Year 2.
When forced to throw from an unstable platform, Glennon lacks accuracy and placement. He will sail some throws and his footwork suffers when the pocket breaks down.
Needs to improve mechanics and release versus pressure. Step into throws. And find more touch to drop the ball over the top of second-level defenders. The way I see it, Glennon needs more reps. That's the key. However, from a coaching perspective, he has the tools to develop.
