between 6-10 wins is a YUGE range that almost every team's expectations fit in.

I get what he's thinking to: "free pass on 2017"
-
Ok, one last time. I will try and be more explicit in my request. On a day when the Cubs do not have a home spring training game, what is the best option for catching a couple minutes of the Cubs/minor leaguers practicing. Where does that take place? when can fans see them?
-
I am looking forward to following Cutler on the Jets next year.

hoyer to san fran

Maybe the problem is the people in the building.
-
There is no outcome on the bell curve where you can build around Glennon. Theres like 6 QBs in the game like that. The optimistic end is that he is a borderline top 1/3 QB, and can go far with him and a talented D and good supporting cast.... like a prime Flacco. so he can or cannot be elite?
-
Does he really need to? He's not the GM. He can dislike a move without having to come up with a better one himself. Nah I'm just trying to figure out the part where my literacy wasn't good enough to find the non-Cutler option in that post. You decided to add the word solution for no good reason. I hate the idea of cutting Cutler and his currently team friendly contract that can be released at any moment only to turn around and give Glennon the same money and what is inevitably going to be some sort of guarantee. Sign all the garbage QBs you want, just give them the tiny contracts they deserve and draft as many QBs as you want at the same time. Paying Glennon $15m to be the "made up term" is just paying him for the sake of paying him. And it's an ass covering move since you pretty much sell to the public "it's okay if we lose with this $15m QB because we are supposed to lose with this $15m QB while we wait for the next guy."
-
The issue is, do you see him as your long term solution, and if not will Glennon starting prevent the Bears from acquiring and giving playing time to the guy you do see as long term (most likely via the draft)? I think there's a non-zero chance he might be. And, if he's not, I don't necessarily think a rookie should just be thrown in, especially if it's a round 2 or later guy. You already qualified it with the worthless "non-zero" designation, why the need to go further with "might".
-
The line is fine, by itself. But with a garbage QB and what may end up being a garbage receiver group if Alshon leaves, an offensive line that is "pretty decent" is not good enough. If you are going to purposefully start a season with a guy like Glennon at QB, you sure as horsefeathers better have a great offensive line.

So then you are illiterate.

I could not care less about this theory. If Pace gets the opportunity to move forward after his disappointing early results, he should do so only with the eye toward improvement, not appeasing idiots who can't stand Cutler and would be happy to suck w/o Cutler just as long as they do it w/o Cutler. Glennon is a plan designed for failure, but because you convince everybody a stopgap is a thing, then failure is accepted and he will not only live through that failure but also get to live through a prolonged development of the guy that replaces Glennon. Cutting Cutler and signing Glennon is a PR move, not a football one. It's a buffer that does nothing to make the team better.
-
it's much better than the reverse, when teams would stupidly draft based on need because they don't know what they can get in free agency.
-
Yes and the Jets are the Jets for a reason.
-
call it tanking without balls.

Where is your solution? John Fox would be long gone. At the very least he doesn't get to work with Cutler, a "madeup term for signing a QB with no expectations of success but still going to play the season and pay the guy starting QB money but not risk losing people's jobs if you lose because you convinced the public that this made up term is a real thing that should be considered when judging results", and a prospect. Ryan Pace should have hired a better coach long ago and because there is no risk to future you keep Cutler until the day you have a better QB ready to take over his job. They sign the best free agents available (of which Glennon is not even close to that list, let alone on top of it), and you draft the best players available. You keep adding the best talent out there that you can get your hands on and you don't waste time cutting one QB and signing another just because of some made up need to "move on". Paying Mike Glennon $30m to QB your team for a year and a half is just a waste of time and money.
-
Theo Epstein is the greatest thing to ever happen to Ryan Pace. If he can convince management that in year 3 John Fox as HC and Mike Glennon at QB is good enough for him to have a job..., boy howdy.
-
A) A stopgap QB isn't a thing. B) He's only not a terrible one because there is not such thing. He's a QB. The Bears are on the verge of signing Neck Glennon to be their QB.
-
stupid comment
-
Year three of this program and people are cool with a made up concept like a stop gap QB. Quite perplexing.
-
I just don't even understand how a stopgap became a thing people considered to be real.
-
I feel like the henchman in Austin Powers screaming out hopelessly as the steam roller slowly approaches

Not sure what you mean? Glennon is a guy the Bears would be using as a stopgap starter anyway.....QB is obviously still a longterm need, but its not do or die to take one at 3 this year. Or am I just not understanding what you're saying? you say suing Glennon makes it possible to go BPA in draft when in fact they can go BPA regardless of Glennon.
