“Make Him Your Quality Backup”
October 2nd, 2014
More national members of the Mike Glennon Mob have emerged, and they’re also wondering loudly about the Saints’ pass defense, which hasn’t had an interception this season.
Prickly Pete Prisco and former Bucs scout and Jets coach and personnel chief Pat Kirwan got together to talk about all things Bucs-Saints on CBSSports.com.
Kirwan wants to see a lot more from the Saints safeties and is astounded New Orleans don’t have a pick this season.
Kirwan also says there’s no reason to play Josh McCown –“make him your quality backup” — unless Mike Glennon is hurt. Like others, Kirwan says the Bucs must see what they have in Glennon in order to know if they have to draft a QB with their next first-round pick.
Prico and Kirwan also predict the Saints-Bucs final score. Enjoy the video.

Where is the news on McCowns thumb??
Is he the backup this week or Kafka??

What are their predictions for the Saints-Bucs final score? Video a no go.

This is happening naturally while McCown is out, I’m not sure I get what Kirwan means by this statement. Glennon is getting a 3 game shot to see what he has and the Bucs will access things during the Bye and determine if McCown returns.
Reading between the lines of what lovie said yesterday McCown is starting to grip a ball now to get his strength back. Most likely throwing the end of this week and could be back in two weeks if rushed or after the bye if they take their time.

The only people that really care if mccown can throw are mccown, lovie and whoever are opponent is for the week so they can rack up defensive stats

I’ve repeatedly said the same things but for some unknown reason, people don’t see this 3-4 game prove it or lose it try out and think Glennon should be gifted the job due to one half of excellent football.
A smart person lets Glennon try to continue to earn the job rather than handing it to him.

unlike McCown, who had it handed to him. Of course, you should have to earn the job. The ONLY reason McCown should have ever started a game here, IMO, is if he were head and shoulders better than Glennon, and that’s obviously NOT the case. JM is not going to be starting next year, why waste the time with him, especially when the kid gives the team a better chance to win NOW and in the future.

Lol the irony, or ignorance. Speaking of having something handed to him, the offseason would’ve been the time for mccown to earn the starting role.

buccanAy nailed it. Totally agree.

Glennon is 5-3 in his last 8 starts. I have not seen anyone post that yet and I think it is significant!

“…and they’re also wondering loudly about the Saints’ pass defense, which hasn’t had an interception this season.”
We shouldn’t throw stones from glass houses. How many picks do we have?…1, in garbage time. Fighting for the bottom on this front.

DallasBuc…………..It should actually be noted that the Saints have not generated One “Turnover” all year. Int. or Fumble. If we don’t give them any we should win.

Oh my! when Glennon is traded I guess the mob will relocate with him.

This is a good season to watch this team, to see who will be there for the future and who won’t. One of the safties will be gone, maybe banks and glennon. The o-line will be better next season along with all the offensive weapons. casillias and foster will be back-ups with banks if he is still there. 1st rd=winston, 2nd rd= mlb, 3rd rd= DE and the rest will be defensive players of some sort. I am a fan of L&L but if they pass on winston for a defensive player then they deserve whatever press they get.
