Ya I saw a little about this, Russell transferred b/c he was going to lose out. Doesn't always translate to the pro's but its still a good indication of the guys talent level.
I'm an NC State fan & one thing they left out was Wilson wanted to play baseball as well @ NCSU coach O'Brien didn't want him to. He wanted him totally committed to football. So Wilson played baseball anyway & O'Brien went with Glennon as his starter. Wilson then went to Wisconsin & had a great year. Glennon, who sat for 2 years waiting to play behind Wilson, became the starter & did pretty good but was a completely different QB than Wilson was & the offense was suited more for Wilson than it was for Glennon.
Pretty good read. Thanks for sharing Billy. While I completely understand the anxiety over Glennon, there is also evidence to support cautious optimism. We have seen so much crap at the QB position in Chicago that it is only natural for us all to be skeptical. There is nothing wrong with that. However, as fans, we really don't have any choice, so I guess we suck it up, support the kid and hope for the best.
I will say that the college stat line comparison with Wilson in uncanny. Does it mean anything? Not really, but it is so damned close it is bizarre.

Just like Samson and his hair, Ortons abilities were tied to his mystical neckbeard. Perhaps there is some uncanny ability that is held captive in the length of Glennons neck. An ability so unlimited... so profound... that an average size neck could not hold it.

It's like a periscope rising above a submarine conning tower then rising above the waves to see the destroyers and the battleships without obstructions. I think his super power super long neck will let him see the field and avoid defenders, spreading the ball to any open receiver without having to lock in on just one.

plus it gives him uncanny balance and athleticism. Kind of like those guys that walk a tightrope with the long pole they use for balance. It's like they can't be tipped over. Glennon just cranes his neck in a given direction and the defenders can't tip him over.

Good Lord, what would THIS guys neckbeard look like? That's just scary.

Can you imagine the untapped potential he has if he grew a neckbeard? I mean Orton achieved national neckbeard recognition, but if Glennon grew one, it would be like a treebeard. Aliens would come from far away planets to see it. It would make him an all-pro too. I'm sure of it.
