I said this before, but my feeling is that they are starting Glennon in the first couple of games with hopes that he will win them but with an expectation that, at the very least, the staff will have a couple of full games of film on the rest of the teams on their schedule. This will allow them to cram it all into Mitch's head over the next couple of weeks and months, thus giving him a grounding in blitz packages. They know that Mitch can identify defenses, but he just hasn't seen enough yet to throw out there, you know, being the most important player in Bears history and all. So, basically, they don't want him to get hurt if he misses an exotic blitz call and goes splat because he never had a chance. Glennon is the crash test dummy. There's just no other good reason to start Glennon. even being an NC state fan (therefore kind of pull for Glennon always - not like i care all that much, though) and a UNC hater (therefore am programmed that i should hate Mitchell) i completely endorse this post. i'm still amazed that nc state has four starting QBs this week in the NFL and have never been anything but mediocre (well except one year w/ rivers. think they finished like #10 or 12 but i haven't looked)
