Under the Radar: Mike Glennon

Hi, with a lot of talk about which QBs will switch teams this off-season and stuff Mike Glennon is a QB that is very rarely talked about but the guy has got skills. I will be writing about him today and what he could do this off-season and possibly starting under center next year. Some quick news that the Broncos cut former Seahawks star O-lineman Russell Okung because they didn't pick up his option. Here is the post:

Mike Glennon, Bucs Backup QB:
Glennon sits behind Jameis Winston on the depth chart. He hasn't started a game since 2014. While there is a big risk in signing him and starting him, Glennon could become a great QB. With players like Jimmy Garapollo, Tony Romo, Kirk Cousins, even Jay Cutler discussions are picking up Mike Glennon continues to fly under the radar. Lets talk about Glennon's stats first from his playing days.
In 2013 Glennon played 13 games and was actually really good for a rookie QB. He threw for 2600 yards, 19 TDs, and only 9 picks which is under double digits which I consider good. He completed about 59 percent of his passes which is great because its above 50 percent which means he completed more than half of his passes. I've got to say thats pretty good. The next year he only played 6 games and got replaced at QB but in that time he threw for 1400 yards, 10 TDs, and only 6 interceptions. Again, having an over 50 percent passes completed record with 57 percent complete passes. Over the course of his short career Glennon has tossed 4,100 yards, 30 TDs, and 15 picks. His
career completion percentage is about 59 percent which is also over half of passes completed which I consider great.
Glennon's short career has been pretty good and he has only played for 4 seasons so he's not getting very old at age 27. Glennon has a perfect body for a QB. He is 6'6 and he has a very strong arm and is very smart when throwing the ball. When all of the top QBs this off-season are gone such as Tony Romo, Jimmy G, and others, teams who didn't get a QB that needed one will remember that Mike Glennon is still there and they can give him a contract to prove himself because this dude could end up becoming better than any of the QBs in this off-season class.
Now for the final part about Mike Glennon we will talk about landing spots. The Cardinals come to mind. This is likely Carson Palmer's last season and Glennon could be trained behind him so when he is gone next season Glennon can step in and become an elite QB. The Jets could be a landing spot considering in the draft they own the 6th overall pick but have other important needs than QB such as CB. They could take the CB they need like Marshon Lattimore and sign Mike Glennon to a deal so he can give the Jets someone to try at QB because they literally don't have anyone right now considering Ryan Fitzpatrick is now a free agent and Geno Smith is injured. Bryce Petty can't cut it and Christian Hackenberg is still too young. Glennon has some other great landing spots and I believe he will get lured off the Bucs bench and into a starting role this off-season and it will be exciting to see if the smart passer can become an elite QB this off-season.
