Detailed Analysis of Glennon's Play

DomerGiant2008 : 12/5/2021 9:50 pm
I am a 36 year old man. In my 36 years on the planet, I have never seen a Quarterback worse than Mike Glennon take a snap for the New York Giants.

The 600lb corpse of Jared Lorenzen could have put up better numbers than Glennon today.

How many times did Glennon just give up on a play and chuck the ball out of bounds? It had to be at least 10 times.

Watching Mike Glennon play makes me yearn for the good ol' days when we had backups like Jesse Palmer, Geno Smith, Danny Kanell, Kent Graham and David Carr.

There are probably 700 free agent Quarterbacks out there and we have Mike Glennon. This goes to show just how BAD Gettlemen is at evaluating talent and how BAD Joe Judge is at being able to adapt the offense/game plan at all.

DG!
Awesome analysis

You should have your own YouTube show.
They're running a little league team  
Producer : 12/5/2021 10:57 pm : link
They didn't want to bring in a good caddy because then Daniel Jones would feel insecure, so they brought in the worst backup they could find.
Again..we are concerned about QB play

I must have missed all the other playmakers on offense that our backup QB was holding back.
This offense is broken. Contrary to what some might believe, nobody is going to be consistently successful until it's torn down and rebuilt.
Let's get this staright

The Giants have the worst QB ever - he's ever seen.

Yet he expects a game plan to fit and make it work?
Producer…I thought Glennon was your guy?

I couldnt believe

the amount of bozos thinking Glennon = Jones.

As much as Jones struggles at times, hes in another league than MG. Anyone who had seen MG play before today knows that.
so you're too young to remember

Amazing that Glennon and Jones  
Justlurking : 12/6/2021 9:18 am : link
Are numbers 1 and 2 for worst record as starter in the entire NFL. Gettleman is really bad at his job. This team needs a minshew not a
Glennon.
I'm sorry..

when you pine for Jesse Palmer, you're not going to seal your position. Jesse threw 120 passes in 4 years for the Giants. He had 3 TD's and 4 interceptions. Maybe this is another installment of detailed analysis yet to come?

Even then, Minshew is just a stopgap. I think he'd get crushed behind this OL too
Glennon was signed because he's bad

the Giants wanted to make sure no one was in place that could challenge Jones to start. Glennon is now 6-22 as a starter in his career. Jones is 12-22. I'm curious if we'll ever hear when Glennon got concussed. He was serviceable in the first half and a bad high school QB in the 2nd half. If Jones is better than Glennon that's the lowest bar possible.
One thing that I did like about the offense early on  
Gmen703 : 12/6/2021 9:51 am : link
Is that there were passes downfield. No more throwing for 6 yards on 3rd & 9. Passes were part the sticks. Engram was actually an option on 3rd down, who knew?


But, yeah Glennon... Not much to celebrate there.

that was funny...
A couple of our guys did him no favors by dropping balls  
Jimmy Googs : 12/6/2021 9:58 am : link
in the first half like Slayton and Saquon.

But Glennon was also way too inaccurate on some fairly easy throws that even a backup should be making. He also had a decent amount of time to survey the field and missed some plays out there. And he may not be Lamar Jackson, but he also need to pull it down a few times and scramble for a few positive yards to keep ahead of the chains.

Maybe the concussion got the best of him. Not sure when it happened but he looked clueless out there sometime in 3QTR.

Next up...Jake Fromm
The best part of all of this is watching

the usual suspects turn a discussion of Glennon and yesterday's debacle into a bashing of Jones... : )

There were more than few familiar names here stating unequivocaly that Glennon was a better option than Jones and now that we know better, those same folks are pivoting to a new argument that bashes Jones.

Jones can be cut tomorrow for all I care but to ignore the overall problems with this team that make any discussion of the QB moot is to lose whatever credibility you may otherwise have. Which for some was very little to start with.
Glennon Stinks,  
clatterbuck : 12/6/2021 11:47 am : link
why is that a surprise? And where are those guys who couldn't wait for him to play and outdo Jones? If nothing else, we can put that notion to bed.
He played terribly  
Joey in VA : 12/6/2021 12:00 pm : link
If he's on target to a wide open Engram and Ross we have two TDs. If Saquon could catch, it may be another. There were plays available, the game plan was sound, guys got open, he just couldn't throw worth a damn, and that's usually important for a QB. He actually looked ok early on, then the wheels came off. We lost that game 100% because of his atrocious play.

Conspiracy theory du jour. Sometimes QBs are signed to challenge the starter or when there isn't a clear starter on the roster. Sometimes, they're signed to back up the starter or as a place-holder until the new kid is deemed ready. We've seen examples of this over the past 20 or so years: Kerry Collins, potential starter; Kurt Warner, place-holder; then the Manning era backups. Glennon was signed as a back up, not a potential replacement for Daniel Jones. Glennon was also probably cheaper than resigning Colt McCoy. We can all agree that the state of the Giants is abysmal but inventing conspiracies like, --"ooh we know Jones stinks so let's not sign a competent back up" is really rather ridiculous.
