CanadaSteve Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Let's give credit to where it is due: FO didn't sign Matt Flynn part II to a multi-million dollar deal. Bears bench Mike Glennon in favor of rookie Mitchell Trubisky The Chicago Bears have made a quarterback change and have decided to go with rookie Mitchell Trubisky starting with next Monday night's game against the Minnesota Vikings, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter and Dan Graziano. The quarterback change comes after Mike Glennon turned over the ball four times in Chicago's ugly 35-14 loss last Thursday night at Green Bay. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20894215/chicago-bears-bench-mike-glennon-mitchell-trubisky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that we picked the right one it's that we didn't spend 16 million on a mistake. The bears spent 16 million on a 4 game placeholder.

Warfish Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 If we were 0-4, or even 1-3, I think we'd all be asking to see Hack or Petty starting. Rightfully so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimmers group is fast, disciplined and very fundamental, meaning they will be ALL OVER those swing passes to the RBs. They will not be faked out with any play action against this offense. If Trubisky has any success as young as he is & with as little talent as the Bears have at WR he's gonna be a superstar. Unfortunately I think this kids & Bears fans are going to find out that preseason aint sh*t when it comes to the NFL.

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Meh, probably as much to do with their record and how good Trubisky looks Also think it would have felt less like tanking if the Jets started the season with Glennon over McCown - Jets would still be 2-2 and drafting a QB next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetFaninMI Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Thank God Macc passed on this guy. His deal with the Bears is essentially a one year deal though. Not sure if the Bears have the out or He does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyLV Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The Glennon signing was completely braindead. He never looked like a good QB, and 2 entire regimes did everything they could to not play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears have the out - 14m cap hit this year with 4.5m dead money next year https://overthecap.com/player/mike-glennon/2224/ Jets paid Fitz 12m (6m last year, 5m dead cap this year) and will pay McCown 6.5-8m depending on how many games he starts (add 5m for hack contract and the Glennon deal does not look as bad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He get meh money for a starting QB, and he's played alright with the exception of one game. With better receivers they beat the defending NFC champs on opening day. Kizer, meanwhile...looks horrible.

Give him 7 or 8 games for crying out loud Haven't been as many mistakes as those as have been on Glennon, I live in Chicago so I got to see the train wreck every week. He's been underwhelming even when they had their number 1 & 2 receivers. Extra slow pitcher's windup, stares down guys off the snap, mind-boggling decision making, trash accuracy beyond 10 yards, terrible awareness, captain checkdown. They have good RBs, a good enough offensive line, a decent TE group. Only the WRs suck. This is more than enough to work with IMO. Thank god we didn't get him, and they're lucky they're only in it for 1 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
