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.
Agree I wouldn't mind it. He's a weapon and would probably be better off with a creative offensive play caller (not that we have that).
Patterson showed some significant improvement last season.as a route runner. He still has a lot of room for improvement as a receiver, but I think he will continue to get a bit better as he ages.
Resigning Jeffrey would be stupid too. The soft tissue injury issues, along with the suspension, are huge red flags. Let someone else commit $14 or $15 million a year in a long term deal.
I would think the suspension risk could be mitigated with language that voids guarantees if Alshon is suspended again. Doug Martin seems to have had such in his contract, and I recall it being done in the past.
This is where I am at. Don't overpay for him, and let's go all in on D Watson at #3. Let Glennon start and let's give him a spin. Then we can groom Watson for Glennon's inevitable demise as the mediocre talent that he is and has proven to be. Is Hoyer going to be ready for the start of the season? I was assuming he would not be ready, which is why I wouldn't mind Glennon in town as an experienced stop gap. Paying him like Osweiler would make me puke in my mouth though. If Hoyer will be good to go by training camp then why bring in Glennon who is at best, just as good as Hoyer.flapgreen said:
Still disagree with that. Regardless of who's at QB he's going to need a threat at WR. There would be nothing wrong with getting Jeffery for $14M.
Nothing wrong with it at all. Except for paying that much for a guy who 1) doesn't play consistently, or 2) can't figure out what supplements he is taking and if they are legal or not. Seems like the headaches outweigh the positives to me. Let him walk, I say. Let him go die on the Rams for $14 per year. I'd rather have Pryor, Garcon, Stills, or Kendall Wright.
I'd rather see them sign Kenny Britt. He has kind of flown under the radar. He'd be cheaper, and he'd give them a veteran presence across from White.
I'm in the camp of believe White will never amount to anything at the pro level. Full fledged BUST. I hope I am wrong.
Garcon just signed with the Niners. I like Pryor and Stills. Wright isn't too bad. I'd still rather have Jeffery.
Stop, take a breath and wait to see what the guaranteed money is. For christ's sake, its like you're new at this.
To me that's not the major issue. I look at him not being much of an improvement over Cutler but they are going to release Culter even though he's cheaper and not guaranteed any money. If they choose not to sign Jeffery because of money but give Glennon that money that irks me as well. The guy was offered $8M to be a back up, he's not worth much more than that.Pretty appalling that they're going to sign this guy to start and make him about the 23rd highest paid QB in the league
Here is the problem, Glennon isn't an improvement over Cutler. He is a significant downgrade. I would have preferred Hoyer if all you want is a bridge guy. I'd prefer Romo as the bridge guy. You aren't helping your team with this signing.
Glennon has one thing that Cutler and Hoyer don't have and that's youth. Youth means he offers a certain amount of upside and apparently that's what they are paying more for. This is the defense I have heard on the radio, not how I actually feel.
The problem is they're paying starter qb money to a qb who's not a legitimate starters. Doesn't matter where he falls in the starting qb pay spectrum.
What about Glennon says he's an upgrade over Cutler, besides your opinion? Cutler's time was up. Has nothing to do with paying a guy like Glennon huge money. One does not justify the other. 5-13 as a starter. Here, let's pay you huge money. Typical Bears failure.saintfool said:
Not to defend Glennon too much but a lot of starting QBs are not good enough to really be considered a good starting QB. If the Bears are signing him it's to be their starter right away and they're going to have to pay him that kind of money, so I get it. Compared to what all the other starting QBs in the league are making I'd say it's a pretty fair deal.flapgreen said:
$15 million isn't "huge money" for the position anymore. It's what you pay for a low-end starter in 2017. You weren't going to get established starters like Taylor or Cousins. No one will touch Kapernick right now. Garrapolo hype is nothing but a combination of desperation and wishful thinking. This is may be the best of a bad set of options, quite frankly. I'd be curious to see how the deal is structured because I think they're still going to draft someone. They're going to let Glennon serve as the bridge with the potential for actually competing within the division, as opposed to signing Hoyer or keeping Barkley.
