The Mike Glennon Wikipedia page is the latest victim of angry Chicago Bears fans. A week after Marcus Cooper got nailed for his giant blunder against Pittsburgh, the starting quarterback is the new lightning rod. This shouldn't be the biggest surprise. Not after Glennon played one of the ugliest games in recent memory against the Green Bay Packers. He threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles, looking completely lost at times.
If anything the Bears deserve some credit for sticking by their word for the first four games. They'd promised it was Glennon's year. Problem is he also promised them steady, efficient play. Instead they got eight turnovers and a 1-3 record. Yet they still stuck by their word. On a moral level that's quite commendable. On a football one? It's insanity.
Now rumors are beginning to percolate that a change is in the works. With 10 days to prepare for their next game, this mini bye week gives the Bears one of the best openings they'll have to insert top draft choice Mitch Trubisky. Already a number of insiders are hinting the decision is made.
After four weeks it's safe to say that's probably where he belongs. Glennon had a shot in 2013 to prove he could be a starter. Instead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers thought Josh McCown would be a better option. In hindsight they weren't wrong. McCown has a 91.3 quarterback rating so far this year. Glennon has a 76.9. McCown doesn't have a Pro Bowl offensive line in front of him or two outstanding backs to hand off to either.
There are no excuses for how Glennon is playing. He's quite simply bad at the football.
