Jets show interest in NC State QB

By Rich Cimini | ESPNNewYork.comOn Thursday, John Idzik and Rex Ryan gave every indication that embattled QB Mark Sanchez will be back with the Jets in 2013. But make no mistake, the quarterback depth chart will have a different look.

In addition to acquiring a starting-caliber veteran, the Jets are looking to the draft for their quarterback of the future. Remember this name: Mike Glennon of North Carolina State.

The Jets met with Glennon Tuesday at the Senior Bowl week, according to a mole in Mobile, Ala. In fact, they spent an inordinate amount of time with Glennon, a 6-foot-6 passer who has drawn comparisons to Joe Flacco because of his size.

This isn't a great quarterback draft (no Lucks or RG IIIs), but Idzik comes from the Seahawks, who struck gold in the third round with Russell Wilson. Glennon is projected as a second-round pick, although that could fluctuate greatly in the coming weeks, depending on how he performs during the pre-draft process.

The Jets' QB depth chart could be Sanchez, plus a veteran, plus a rookie, leaving Tim Tebow and Greg McElroy out in the cold.

ya I wrote that months ago.
Jets scouts were looking at glennon 3 separate times this year. They also scouted Gio Bernard three times.

What do you think of Glennon? You're generally the go-to guy when discussing Carolina prospects...

Glennon is a statue back there. He's got no elusiveness and he also throws dumb picks all the time. He's like a worse Drew Bledsoe.

This QB class sucks from top to bottom.

I hope that's the mentality and one of the more interesting ones falls to the third. Bray, Dysert, Sorenson....any of the three would be welcome.

Dysert came into the Senior Bowl shorter then advertised. It is very possible he will be there at the top of the 3^rd.

If he is I would gladly risk a 3^rd on him

This. He sucks.

using a 2nd or 3rd at QB this year is a waste cause gonna use a 1st next year.

They cannot f*ck up this pick. The next quarterback drafted defines the Idzik regime and will shape the next five years of Jets football.

what's the hurt? We haven't a had a qb worth a damn in 40 years...give it a shot.

I don't like super tall QB's. They have footwork issues and accuracy issues because they have more going on with their throwing motions. It is kind of like in baseball with pitchers. Usually the real tall guys have a tougher time developing consistent location. Add to that the fact that Glennon is blade thin and his college numbers reflect his accuracy issues and I don't see him as worthy of a top pick.

Every QB in this class has fairly major blemishes. The best guy is probably Geno Smith because of his accuracy and athleticism which should allow him to become a good QB, but he has happy feet in the pocket and locks onto receivers. If someone is able to mine a gem from this class, god bless them. I really liked Tyler Wilson, but then I find out he has little bitty hands which does not translate well to bad weather throwing and ball handling. Who knows...

This is the mentality that scares me. They can pick any sh*thead they want, but I don't want to invest so much that we are stuck with the numbnuts shaping the next five years. Think about it, Kellen Clemens didn't shape sh*t. Whoever we pick will probably be in that mold based on the sh*tty QB class this year.

I do have to say that by third I meant 4th. I'm not too excited to draft any one of them, though I think those three have the potential to be the best QB taken in this draft.

no slam dunks but Geno at least has a shot or Manuel later. Glennon beat FSU on the final drive and yet still played one of the most horrific games at QB. Clemson....Vanderbilt. He makes a beautiful throw one out of ever 3 passes. The other 2 aren't even close.

I LOVE super tall QBs. His arm strength is overrated and his accuracy and decision making is atrocious. 6'2 and he's not even getting drafted.

The QB I like the most in this draft.

[unbanmadmike1]

Tyler Wilson is better than Glennon and Teddy Bridgewater will be head and shoulders better than both of them.
