Boy was I wrong here. He's not smarterI have to believe Pace is smarter than this. He's been around a while now. Surely he doesn't think Glennon is a good option.

Amen!How can you justify that move to the fan base? Makes ZERO sense. You are literally better off doing anything else besides signing Mike Glennon at that price. You are better of doing nothing than signing Glennon to 15 per year.
Well you were right. Incompetence it isThe Bears would look very incompetent if they let Jeffery go and signed Glennon. Jeffery is looking for around $14M to $15M and it's not looking like he's going to get anything on the high end of that. Glennon is also looking for $15M. Cutler will be getting $12.5 if they keep him. Hoyer could be ket for $8M to $9M. How in the world does it make sense to sign Glennon?
Embarrassing disasterBears fans seem to be treating this signing as some sort of embarrassing disaster "because Mike Glennon"......obviously. I mean, it must be self-evident that he's terrible, even though he's barely played for 2 seasons.
I'm not saying he's going to come in and tear up the league, because that's very unlikely. But I guess I don't understand why people can't at least be open to the idea that Glennon might be okay, at least a league average starter (or slightly below, which is what this money represents). There seems to be this attitude around the media (not just in relation to Glennon) that players aren't capable of improving or that if you have demonstrated flaws in the past, they can't be overcome - if your first 'take' in relation to a player is negative, then that's who that player is forever more.
In the case of Glennon, he wasn't even terrible as a rookie. I would say that we don't have a big enough sample size yet to really know if he's a starter level QB or not - he's still young and unproven, but now he gets his chance. If he fails, he'll be out of the league in 2 years.
The money doesn't seem ridiculous to me since QB is the most expensive postion. Others have said that it's a lot to pay a backup QB....sure, but he was a backup on another team that had Winston. How do we know that he couldn't have started last year for other teams (including the Bears) and performed well? I don't want to sound like Glennon's biggest fan because I'm not but I just don't think the verdict is in yet and this move seems fine to me, givne the other available options, and that there still may be some upside here.
This could still hold true, obviously does on Fox.Love that pretty much everyone is laughing at the Bears. Anyone who thinks he's better than Jay has no clue about football. And we're paying him more. Pace and Fox will be gone within 2 years and the Bears left with #### again.
It's trueMaybe Pace thinks he can pocket any unused cap space on his way out the door after the Bears go 0-16 or 1-15 this next season. It's time to start realizing we are the new Cleveland Browns.
Dolphins fan this yearI love Jay. Will root for any team he goes to. Was done a great Disservice by this pitiful organization. Same as they've done to all of the other qbs to ever play here
Wow. It's even worse than I thought.This is even more of an embarrassment than Ive been saying guys. Really sad time in franchise.
You got itI really hope they have some grand plan in order because right now the team is getting worse. Going to be hard for anyone in the front office to survive this third season if they continue getting worse.
But we needed to pay Glennon, Wheaton, and Amukamara. Brilliant!More wonderful Pace doings.
Alshon Jeffery's deal with #Eagles is 1 year, $9.5 million with another $4.5M available in a variety of individual and team incentives.
He should really get a hobby. Or a job.Flap's meltdowns are the only reason I keep coming back to this thread.
So you F5 this thing every day???Flap's meltdowns are the only reason I keep coming back to this thread.
Lol yeah I'm unemployed. Got meHe should really get a hobby. Or a job.
It's a good place to vent on the Bears. Can't exactly talk like this in real life.Flap's meltdowns are the only reason I keep coming back to this thread.
Lol no. Joking. Big difference in the real world and how I post in here. Discuss football on here and between buddies. About it.Are you really? Sorry to hear.
Wouldn't the Bears be considered a hobby?He should really get a hobby. Or a job.
Fox does it every year. Plays first game close. Gets hammered in remaining games. I don't think they've won a single game in September since he's been hereSomebody explain to me why this team was able to almost beat the falcs in week 1? Was it the surprise use of Cohen?
I pointed this out during that game, and the week after. With less and less practice time prior to the season, you never know how good or bad a team is going to be until a few weeks into the season. (except the Bears). The Patriots are a prime example. They didn't look very good week one. But, I'd still expect them to go deep into the playoffs. Only to lose to my new favorite team, the Chiefs, in the AFC Championship game.Somebody explain to me why this team was able to almost beat the falcs in week 1? Was it the surprise use of Cohen?
Make sure you hydrate.Can't wait to take in the game tomorrow......Cadillac club seats, weather in 90s, and at least 1 good team

Wow, putting it like that, it's strange to see the Bears not put out feelers for FA or practice squad guys like Royal, Reuben Randle, Cruz, Dorial Beckham-Green, Cecil Shorts, or Donteea Dye.flapgreen said:Tre McBride waived. 4 WRs active. Bears current group of WRs. 2 players that were phased out of their offenses last year & 2 ST'ers. Great strategy, Pace. Playmakers galore going into your 3rd year
Said it before and I'll continue to say it. We could've had Dan Quinn. Even though the Falcons choked in the SB, he turned their lackluster program around in less than two seasons.Bears could've had Arians, Gase, Mcvay, Shanahan. Instead, Trestman and Fox

Equipment manager tells him that they want to see him in the front office. And bring your playbook.The Tick said:pace should be sitting in front of his locker and tell him that we need to talk.
