Sell me on Mike Glennon

[RealSNR]

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.

That scouting report reads like a homeless mans Bledsoe.

At least Bledsoe got to a super Bowl in the 1996 season :/

Sounds like Cassel with a better arm.

Here's a selling point.

Geno Smith played 6 defenses in the top 50 and had a record of 1-5.

Mike Glennon played 5 defenses in the top 50 and had a 3-2 record, including beating the best defense in the entire country (Florida State) while putting up a 7 TD/7 INT ratio with an offense worse than Geno's.

Before the bowl game, Glennon had 6 TD's to 4 INT's against those top teams.

Out of those 5 losses the only 1 you can really "blame" on Geno was the K-State game. WVU was out coached in that game.

You are so quick to throw Geno under the bus, but I think you forget how bad WVUs defense was this year. Without Geno WVU finishes dead last in the Big 12

TDs 11
INTs 5

He threw 6 ints all year, 5 of them in the losses. So that proves my point on how much this WVU team depended on him. Without Geno, WVU and KU have a turd fight at the bottom.

When Glennon is bad, he's real bad. He threw 17 ints this year

Just stop with this nonsense. Geno throws bubble screens and quick out passes 80% of the time of course teams won't pick those passes off.

If you seriously think that, you havent watched any wvu games other than the pinstripe bowl and should probably just sit this one out.

Exactly. Geno does throw a lot of screens and quick outs, but he also throws crazy deep balls on the money. Have you watched any of his games? The kid can make EVERY single throw a good QB needs to make. He throws fade passes into the endzone better than a lot of pros.

I respect everyones opinion, even yours. But you have got to do more homework on Geno before you say things like this.

Selling point number 2 on Mike Glennon: beating the best defense in the entire country.



Down 16-3 in the 4th quarter and throwing 2 TD's to beat the best defense in the country.
Threw game winning TD on 4th down with 16 seconds left in the game.

This is the most impressive thing any QB in this class has done all season long.

Does anyone really think that FSU's defense is the best in the country? C'mon.

Well I had to turn it off just after he threw the interception after the two minute mark in the video. I'm sure he may have made good plays later in the video, but man he made some REALLY bad throws to start off in that video. I can also see a hitch in the throw that is causing more float on his passes than neccessary, which is something a guy at 6'6 shouldn't have to do.

Geno beat the #1 and #2 defense in college football last year.
