Sell me on Mike Glennon

[SNR]

Right now I don't see anything about the guy that I like.

I haven't watched any more than about 2 minutes of live game footage. I've seen a bunch of highlights of his throws on youtube.

I want to like the guy. I want him to be good so people will stop bitching about how supposedly terrible this year's QB class is, but every time I watch something of his, I get turned off. He's 2nd round material at best to me that will (possibly) get taken in the top 10? Some people even have him as the top QB off the board?

That's pure insanity to me.

Tell me/show me stuff about Mike Glennon that will change my mind. I promise to withhold all preconceived notions about the guy in this thread for the purposes of trying to like him.

Based on the stuff I have watched so far, no. He's NOT better than Geno Smith, and he won't ever be. But I'm tired of shitting on him when everybody is talking him up as potentially a good pro QB.

Wouldn't give a bag o dicks for him.

It's the same logic these fools are using when they tuned into the Pinstripe bowl the other day and assume Geno Smith sucks.

He's got multiple seasons of tape kicking ass, yet he's judged on the couple of games he didn't live up to expectations as the other games....

May as well draft Te'o or Starr.

But aside from the three int's of which you missed two EVERYTHING else looked solid

And his footwork is terrible. That's his biggest knock. He floated all of his ints today and looked like a bag of crap. Give geno that o line and the conditions emu got today and he would have tore it up

And he has a long slow stroke, has a little too much jerk to it to fit my liking

He can jerk it with the best of them.

Glennon is in my top ten....

of draft-eligible quarterbacks in 2013 at #9 on my QB big board. Right behind another guy who is all tools and needs a complete mechanical overhaul: Logan Thomas.

What is your opinion on what we should do? Tell me your GM, HC and QB. Prove your worth.

I like Tyler Wilson the most out of any QB in this class. I wouldn't mind Geno or Barkley if he's in the right system with the right HC, but they have their flaws too.

I want a HC who has proven his offensive abilities. Mike McCoy, Andy Reid or Chip Kelly would be my favorites.

Well here is NFLDraftCountdown's scouting report on him.


Mike Glennon
Height: 6-6 | Weight: 232 | 40-Time: 5.10

Official Bio


Strengths:
• Outstanding height with a large projectable frame
• Fantastic arm strength and can make all the throws
• Can fit ball into tight spots but also varies speeds
• Is able to stretch the field vertically with deep ball
• Clean delivery / release and throws a pretty spiral
• Used to working under center in a pro style system
• Vision to scan the field and go through progressions
• Decent touch, timing and accuracy when given time
• Able to get rid of the ball while draped by defenders
• Durable with terrific physical and mental toughness
• Mature and intelligent with a very good work ethic
• Developing talent still offers considerable upside

Weaknesses:
• Doesn't handle pressure well at all and lacks poise
• Poor pocket presence and holds onto ball too long
• Footwork, mechanics and accuracy are inconsistent
• Gets careless with the ball and makes bad decisions
• Has too much confidence in arm and will take chances
• Extreme lack of mobility and is essentially a statue
• Struggles mightily to throw on the run when flushed
• Ability to rally team and be a leader of men in doubt
• Relatively inexperienced with questionable instincts

Injury History:
• None of Consequence

Notes:
A two-year starter for the Wolfpack --- Served as the backup to Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks early in college career --- Brother Sean played quarterback at Virginia Tech (2004-08) --- Was a highly-touted prep All-American and coveted recruit --- One of the most prolific signal callers in North Carolina State history, ranking at or near the top of the program record book in almost every career and single-season passing category --- The first NC State quarterback to throw for 30 touchdowns or more in two different seasons and joins Tajh Boyd of Clemson as the only players in ACC history to accomplish that feat --- Graduated with two degrees, a Bachelor's in Business Management and a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies --- Was not surrounded by a particularly talented supporting cast and often dealt with protection issues, drops, etc. that were at least in part to blame for ups and downs --- Worked as a counselor at the Manning Passing Academy prior to senior season and elicited raves from onlookers during throwing sessions --- Classic pocket passer with all the physical tools to be a high level starter at the next level and majority of flaws are correctable --- Looks like a first round pick one moment then a late rounder the next and consistency will be absolutely vital to maximizing vast potential --- Boom or Bust .

I'm not going to sell you on him because I don't think he's very good. What he showed during the bowl game is what I think he is...overrated and nervous.
