metzelaars_lives Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Add in EJs yards and touchdowns rushing and his slightly higher completition percentage. Then factor the higher sack ratio of Glennon and as far as I am concerned what you are left with is a minimal difference. Glennon is not good. He is a slightly better armed but less mobile EJ Manuel. Both have major accuracy issues. They both hurt your football team. You can't win with either. The only category in which Glennon is "decidedly better" is passing TDs. An important one admittedly but I think when you look at their body of work in the round the difference is minimal. I also believe EJ has a better W-L for whatever that is worth. Look at Glennon's numbers from year 1 to year 2. He improved across the board. The jury is still very much out on him. Manuel regressed in year 2 and the verdict arrived last year.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I would think that he is better insurance than EJ and if a 2017 3rd rd pick could get this done than I for one would be all for it. To me EJ is just about useless but if a trade were made then I'd keep him as a 3rd stringer simply because he should know the system pretty good by now. I'm not confident in Tyrod staying healthy all year and I don't want to count on EJ again (*see 2015 Jacksonville/London game). If Tyrod goes down Glennon would be good insurance, has been in the league a few years now and has a cheap contract this year (675,000.00). I'd still would be willing to draft a mid rd QB this year and this would be able to let him sit and learn. Worse case scenario if something drastic would happen to Taylor then Glennon could be slapped with a transition tag. If Taylor stays healthy and plays well then we have our franchise QB and this year's drafted QB, whoever that may be, would step in as the #2 QB and there will be no need for Glennon or Manuel. Has anyone seen Romans offense work without an athletic QB? And yes Alex smith was and no Mike Glennon is not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Look at Glennon's numbers from year 1 to year 2. He improved across the board. The jury is still very much out on him. Manuel regressed in year 2 and the verdict arrived last year. The jury is in on Glennon - he is not good. He is bad. He sucks and he has been benched multiple times. I repeat again - replacing EJ with Glennon is the definition of spinning wheels. If we are going to sift around for other people's back ups there are far, far better options than Mike Glennon. What people see in him I have no idea - the production is not there. How did this thread manage to get to 4 pages? lol CBF Because some people seem to like Mike Glennon. Why? I have no freaking idea.

SRQ_BillsFan Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 We can't trade EJ for a 7th, but we're supposed to give up a 3rd for Glenon. No way. And if we're stuck with EJ and draft another quarterback were gonna carry 4 QBs on our roster. 3 of which give us little to no help. That won't happen.

PromoTheRobot Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Glennon: 18 starts, 29 TD's, 15 INT's, 83.7 passer rating Manuel: 16 starts, 19 TD's, 15 INT's, 78.5 passer rating Glennon's QBR, for whatever that is worth, has also been much higher each year and he has thrown for far more yards per start. Admittedly, their completion % and YPA are pretty much identical. Still, they are by no stretch even. There does not exist a category that Manuel has been better than Glennon in, while Glennon has been decidedly better in nearly every category. Glennon has been better, plain and simple. By a country mile? No. But the difference is more than negligible. Consider the competition level Glennon faces in the NFC South vs what he'd see in the AFC East.

I just think he is better than EJ Manuel. In fact, of course he is. Look at Glennon's numbers in his second year- he improved over his first year. What a novel concept. He was mysteriously benched in favor of Josh McCown in a move that many questioned. We will have to agree to disagree that the verdict is on Glennon. The last time he played (2014), he wasn't bad at all for a second year starter. EJ Manuel was about as bad as a second year starter could possibly be.

And how did Glennon improve exactly in year 2? Was it his completion percentage? No that fell and was worse than EJ has had any year he has appeared. Maybe it was his TD-INT ratio? No that got worse as well and was exactly the same in year 2 as guess who? EJ Manuel. Even his Passer Rating was worse in year 2. The ONLY area Glennon improved in year 2 was ypa - and you can thank Mike Evans for that. EJ sucks... but he sucks about the same as Mike Glennon who is a bad Quarterback.

QuoteTheRaven83 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Why not simply dump EJ and draft Prescott? Maybe EJ could fetch us a conditional 7th round pick. You honestly think a rookie Prescott is an upgrade over EJ right now? LOL. That's funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'd trade a bad contract for him. That is all. And we already took the dead money for most of these guys... You get 1 year of control, we already have a mediocre lame-duck QB. Hard pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorbait Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I say no to Glennon. Would much rather draft a qb every year in rounds 2-5 until one develops into a franchise guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montanafan Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Seriously, this. I want to see what will happen with a proper offensive coaching staff for TT and EJ for a few years. We are so quick to move on from developing QBs. Let's try some consistency for once. This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
