Interesting speculation by Campbell of the Trib now is that Pace/Fox (mainly Pace) have to mend fences with Glennon after promising the future and now drafting Trubisky. I think it will be fine and he will be a pro but who knows? See quotes below:

It's a good thing there wasn't a camera on Glennon when Commissioner Roger Goodell announced Trubisky's name. If anyone ever needed Miller Time, the veteran quarterback did in that moment.
He found out as the rest of the world did. The Bears don't believe in him as much as he thought, as much they conveyed to him during his blissful first seven weeks on the job. Glennon felt as though he had been cheated on, according to people in the know. When admiration, affection and support abruptly become rejection, it hurts. And the pain cuts deep.
If Trubisky turns out to be the truth, any stumbles in 2017 would be a footnote on Pace's resume. Fox, however, has to manage this sticky new quarterback dynamic on a daily basis. Glennon and Trubisky. Glennon and the organization.
Pace will get to see Trubisky's chance through, whenever that occurs. But look no further than the man Fox referenced Saturday, his friend Jeff Fisher, to find an example of a coach who didn't survive the season after his team drafted a quarterback at the top of the first round.
Fox at least understands Glennon doesn't share Pace's excitement about drafting Trubisky.
"You allow them that," Fox said. "That's something that you do, and you do talk that through. But they get over it. And then they start competing. It's Mike's team. He's the starter. He feels really good about that."
Yes, Glennon at least has an opportunity to prove himself in 2017 and play for his next job. He didn't have that with the Buccaneers. Glennon will be motivated and determined because he's a pro, he's competitive and he wants a starting job somewhere. He'll put the draft party insult behind him. If he can't, maybe he's not wired for the starting job in the first place.
