    then why did every single team in the league not draft him when given 7 rounds of chances?

    None of them had the smarts to let me pick for them.

    The entire league is missing out on Mike Glennon and Austin Davis while their respective teams stash them at #2 and ##3/#4 on their depth charts. Boy are the Bucs and the Rams going to take the league by storm when they both surprisingly start week one and rip through the league!

    Seriously though, do you think you're the only person on the planet to consider these potential future journeymen (future Ryan Fitzpatrick's) as an option?

    There's a reason the rest of the league is passing in these players and I'm guessing the rest of the league did a little deeper investigation than looking at their stat line. Oh my god they threw more touchdowns than interceptions!!! Future pro bowler!

    From what I've seen Glennon is a statue with bad footwork which leads to accuracy problems throwing the short ball. He throws a nice deep ball but that's it. While he could be a decent quarterback in this league he doesn't fit at all what our coaching staff wants to do. He needs to be in the same type of offense as Flacco. Power run, play action down the field, not a spread look.

    Davis doesn't have much of an NFL arm in terms of strength of getting the ball to the sidelines and on deeper routes. Go back and look; he floats the ball to where he needs to get it.

    Our staff most likely felt Geno was not only a better fit, but also offered the same upside as these other two players. We'll see how that holds true, and we'll also see how long an Austin Davis survives in thus league, at which point looking back at this thread will be silly.
