OK so we got a solid back-up QB that may actually do well as a starter IF he doesn't face a team with a pass rush or he can get outside the tackles and throw the ball into the ground or into the stands. Let's hope they don't follow the contract structuring model of the Cutler contract which forced the Bears to keep Cutty no matter how bad they wanted to trade him or even trade him.

Any QB that made it through college should be able to do that. Hell, Cutler was more than good with no pass rush. You put pressure on him and it was a quick entrance for bad Jay. I guess we get a taller version with Glennon? Playing under pressure is hard. Not too many guys do it well. Even Rogers is not very good under pressure. Brady also. Except you have to kill Brady. He might suck under pressure but he goes the next play like nothing happened and eventually he gets you.

I still want to see Pace draft a QB in Rd 2 or Rd 3 (even the 4th Rd if someone tumbles) if the right guy slips out of Rd 1 or Rd 2. Marc Glennon is not a sexy name but if reports are correct on what the Pats were asking for JG I'd like to see the NFL collude and let the Pats get a 4th Rd Compensatory pick when JG walks out on them.

Jay's biggest downfall was not being able to throw the ball away. He had unwavering confidence (or stupidity) that cost him so many turnovers at the absolute worst possible times. His turnovers never seemed to be like a punt, rather every one went to go to a guy taking it to the house or a minimum setting up an easy FG. Of course I'm exaggerating because it would be impossible to have every INT like this. It sure felt that way though.
i would rather draft a qb, in any round mind you, than watch Glennon. Glennon is NOT going to get better coming here and playing under Fox. Just draft athletes that want to play. FA is ok if you think a team moved on from your guy too early but not if the same kind of prospect is in the draft or an UDFA to be had for less money...
Why does one have to keep you from doing the other? And how do you know for certain Glennon will not get better here? I don't know that...how do you know that?
Because this team cannot protect a pocket passer. I'd bet against it (improvement) and it would be great if the bears drafted a QB too, but why pay someone 14-15 mil a year and have Leno on his blind side, no #1wr to throw to and your best Te on the wrong side of 30?
I'm waiting on the draft to see how Pace plays it; is this about getting talent on the roster or reaching to plug holes. In two drafts, I am not clear on what he's up to thanks in no small part to the bears having a need everywhere when Pace arrived. All our best players were on 2nd contracts at best, except AJ. One year left there, then franchised now a FA.
If we draft a QB before rd4, they'll need reps. Pair him with a T and let him figure out how to play under center/ read pro zones. I don't see why you do that and sign Glennon. Glennon comes in to start and this team has plenty of back ups floating around.
