QB Mike Glennon, NYG (1 Viewer)

He started 13 games in a horrendous situation with zero weapons. Martin should be back next week. You have Jackson, Evans, and ASJ now. They should let him start every game from here on out and make an educated decision where they need to go at the QB position.

I was against the signing of McCown entirely and felt Glennon performed admirably last season. McCown has completely blown up in their face, Lovie has already lost this team, and now they don't have any choice but to give Glennon the shot he earned last year.

 
It's not like McCown was expensive. We missed on a stop gap QB. Big deal. I thought Glennon looked a tad better but it's not like we are 3-0 with him as our starter.

 
FOX Sports' Alex Marvez reports Josh McCown (thumb) is expected to miss "several weeks."

McCown is currently undergoing a second test on his right thumb. The injury is more serious than initially thought, and will likely cost him multiple games. Mike Glennon will get an extended look in McCown's absence and could remain the starter going forward. McCown was struggling to move the offense even when healthy, and had a 2:4 TD:INT ratio through two and a half games prior to going down. Sep 19 - 8:50 PM

Why was there such a push from the new regime to move on from Glennon? He was a 3rd round pick, not exactly a flyer... management usually thinks a 3rd rounder could be an eventual starter.

They probably thought Mccown was better right now and they thought they could make the playoffs. Both of those ideas are probably out the window at this point, so might as well give Glennon a shot now so they can address their QB needs in the next draft if they need to.

 
The team has no identity. They want to be a dominant defense and run-focused offense, but to do that you need an offensive line and they don't have one. Maybe it's injuries, but with the on-paper talent they have at all three levels of the defense, there's no reason they should be at the bottom of the league. New regime, so maybe they get a pass this year, but it's not looking good so far.

They should pick up a third QB pronto. I don't see how Glennon stays healthy with the lack of protection.

he's actually very very good at the spontaneous curl down into the fetal position hook slide.

Terrelle Pryor - QB - Free Agent

The Buccaneers tried out free agent QB Terrelle Pryor on Monday.

Josh McCown may need surgery on his right (throwing) thumb, and the only other quarterback on Tampa Bay's current roster is Mike Glennon. A deficient thrower but dangerous athlete, Pryor is the complete inverse of Glennon.

Pretty spot on. They want to run the Tampa 2 but they get zero pass rush so scrub QBs are picking the zone apart with easy throws and good QBs like Matt Ryan torch them at all levels of the field.

Defenses don't fear the passing game even after they signed/drafted all of these huge receiving targets because they don't throw the ball to them and can't complete it when they do. Or they want to be a power running team, but traded away Zuttah, released Penn and Joseph, and then passed on guard talent in the 3rd round to reach for another RB which was probably the deepest position on the team.

Just another example of a stubborn coach trying to fit the players to his scheme instead of fitting the scheme around the talent available.

I'm willing to cut them some slack due to injuries to the Dline. We all know the scheme starts with pressure, and we had McCoy, brought in Michael Johnson, & McDonald. This was enough for a solid pass rush IMO, but injuries have taken toll. Like I said, losing McCoy is equivalent to the Colts losing Manning.

 
Some people are thinking Mike Glennon in and Josh McCown out is an upgrade. But the only thing Glennon brings is his ability to stay upright. The scheme the new Bucs OC Tedford brought to Tampa is a fast paced scheme, similar to what Chip Kelly has in Philadelphia. But it relies on a QB that can make plays with his arm and with his legs. Mike Glennon is a tree. He's completely miscast for that offensive style. The Bucs O-line has been a mash unit and hodgepodge of starting units. They never "gelled" as a unit in preseason and you can see the frustration on thier faces as they work through games in on the job training status while opposing teams are cogent, well coached and firing off the line. It doesn't help matters at all that Tedford is still not active and they have some nobody calling their offense. But the main thing I want to stress in this post is Glennon is not running the same offense you saw last year. Clear that from your head. It's a huge step to ask him to run an offense he's not suited for.

Brutal. I'd say it's time to blow the team and coaching staff up, but I they already overhauled the team last year. Gotta rebuild the lines in the offseason next year. #1 priority imo. Yes, if we could get an uberstud QB of the future, that would be great, but who's gonna block for him?

It was crazy that they didn't use any early picks on O-line IMO, but maybe they didn't love any of the 2nd-4th prospects?

Actually, the O-line isn't bad on paper with the addition of Mankins. Collins, Mankins, Dotson, Diedrich Smith are all above average. They could use another stud at guard, but I think they all just need to play more together.

Imo, top priority has to be Jameis if they are picking in the top 5.

 
I agree. I think QB is overstated tbh. Peyton might be the better QB, but Flacco, Wilson, etc. are winning championships. I'm not saying Glennon could be Flacco, but I"m not saying he couldn't either. I'd rather see us shore up the defense and OLine and then go from there.

 
What are the expectations for this guy in deeper leagues? I know a few bought low on him when he was doubted by the organization, but I'm legitimately curious what folks think moving forward (2014 and beyond).

He certainly has some weapons in VJax, Evans, ASJ (hurt currently), Martin (hurt currently), Rainey, Simms (hurt currently).

What's the future hold?

Third year in a row the season is over before September ends. Awful franchise. Even most teams give their fans hope into November.

Thank God for college football.

Mike Glennon - QB - Buccaneers

Coach Lovie Smith said "there is a good chance" Mike Glennon will start this week against the Steelers.

In other words, Glennon will make the start. Josh McCown (thumb) didn't practice Wednesday. Mike Kafka is expected to be Glennon's backup. We'd expect the Bucs to try and pound Doug Martin and Bobby Rainey on the ground against a banged-up Steelers defense, especially in a road game. Glennon is a back-end QB2. There's a chance he's going to make multiple starts for Tampa.

Didn't Lovie say Glennon was the "QB of the future." McCown shouldn't start another game for this team.

 
I wouldn't buy too much into anything Lovie says. Most of what he says is bs coach speak. Remember his Revis comments?

 
Mike Glennon - QB - Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Times expects the Bucs to let Mike Glennon play out the final 13 games.
Josh McCown (thumb) is week to week, and isn't going to get his starting job back when healthy, barring a faceplant by Glennon. A 35-year-old journeyman, McCown has proven to be a product of Marc Trestman's system, while 24-year-old Glennon played well enough as a rookie last season to get an extended look. Glennon is on the QB2 radar in a matchup with a Steelers defense that's allowed five passing touchdowns through three games.

Sign McCown and then bench him after 3 games and getting hurt? Lol have fun watching Lovie destroy your team further, Bucs fans

 
In McCown's defense, he goes from Marshall, Jeffery, Forte, and a decent oline, to pretty much the opposite of that in TB.

What I'm saying is that, yes, a QB is going to perform better when the skill position players and offensive line are talented. Add to that the offensive playcalling and scheme were much stronger in Chicago. No one is ever going to mistake McCown for Peyton, but he would perform better if there was more talent in TB. I didn't think I was saying anything controversial :shrug:

I think the bucs would be 2-2 with glennon... And the falcon loss would not of been a blow out

Does he play defense too?

Maybe he could've slowed the clock out with a few drives but the Falcons were putting up 40 last week.

He would of sustained a few drives... no way the Bucs were ever going to win that game, but give the bucs a few sustained drives with a few points... might of been a 14-21 point loss rather than a 40+ embarassment. I guess bottom line its a loss if its 1 point of 50 points, so it doesnt matter really... just reallllly was disappointed by how the bucs played last week,
