Glennon Sabotage Theory Fueled By His Brother
November 4th, 2014
Joe was alerted earlier to a Twitter message by Mike Glennon’s brother Sean, a Twittering that seemed to have disappeared along with brother Sean’s Twitter account, which later reappeared.
The elder Glennon, the former Virginia Tech quarterback and a guy who has offered strong Bucs opinions previously, supposedly shared his disgust for Lovie Smith today.
How Lovie Smith made it to a Super Bowl…had a lot of respect for him but that’s all gone,” the alleged Twitter message said.
And then Sean Glennon’s Twitter account vanished but reappeared about 1:30 p.m., the same account from which he’s blasted Joe in the past.
A good conspiracy theorist might think Sean Glennon was just told by Mike Glennon that he wasn’t starting on Sunday, shared his disgust and then deleted it.
Joe has no clue, but Joe surely hopes it is Glennon starting Sunday, otherwise Joe will blow a gasket on these pages.
Update: Joe was just sent a screengrab of Sean Glennon’s Twitter in question.
November 4th, 2014 at 2:43 pm
Well if we sit Glennon you’re sure to get your wish. 1st overall pick here we come!!
November 4th, 2014 at 2:44 pm
If McCown starts and sucks. Lovie will no doubt be out of a job.
November 4th, 2014 at 2:44 pm
Sean Glennon’s twitter account hasn’t disappeared – https://twitter.com/SeanGlennon7. Any tweets in the past week have disappeared though.
Joe didn’t write that it disappeared. Might want to re-read. –Joe

Once Lovie saw a little spark from the running game and marginal throws from Glennon it wasn’t too hard to figure out what was coming-only when??
November 4th, 2014 at 2:48 pm
Maybe it’s a smoke screen to throw the Falcons off. Perhaps that’ll be the edge we need to win the game. When the game starts and they see Glennon in there they’ll be so confused that we’ll jump out to a 35 point lead by halftime.
November 4th, 2014 at 2:49 pm
Twitter is for idiots, nothing to see here.
November 4th, 2014 at 2:50 pm
Well at least he’s not alone in jumping off the Lovie train.
November 4th, 2014 at 2:50 pm
take a deep breathe and pucker up Joe. Its hammer time. Ironically I bet glennon gets benched for throwing the red zone int which was he first (ever?) in 70 attempts in the red zone and it hit off an oline helmet. But whatever, time to break out the popcorn and watch the upcoming circus act/show.
November 4th, 2014 at 2:53 pm
I’m gonna assume if elder Glennon has no respect for the Savior Lovie, that Mike Glennon has no respect for him either. That makes three of us.
Lovie’s a joke!
November 4th, 2014 at 2:53 pm
mike brother is like a athlete wife that doesn’t know when to Shet up!
Someone give him MRSA to get him to go away please!
Where’s Schiano when you need him!
November 4th, 2014 at 2:54 pm
I for one, cannot wait until the draft, to see which QB Lovie will draft for the next coach!!
November 4th, 2014 at 2:56 pm
I don’t know that he’s being sabotaged. I mean, he may not be getting a super fair shake but he has had the opportunities.
November 4th, 2014 at 2:59 pm
He can’t hit wide open targets he’s a bum
November 4th, 2014 at 3:00 pm
Joe, I agree we need to see Glennon, but if they’ve seen enough… Now it’s about losing. Bring on mccown!!!!
November 4th, 2014 at 3:01 pm
I’m curious to see how McCown plays with a decent line… I may actually watch the game now!
November 4th, 2014 at 3:03 pm
To clarify: we need to lose for Jameis. He is the real prize of the season. Getting a true winner at QB would actually make allllllllll these years of terrible play, worth it.
November 4th, 2014 at 3:03 pm
Glennon is gone next year, very few will survive the Schiano cleaning. We brought in a guy with worse stats in Canada than our guy in the NFL last year. ST coach is “special” and Lovie is insecure.
November 4th, 2014 at 3:03 pm
everytime I hear about Glennon’s brother, I picture Napoleon Dynamites older brother…
November 4th, 2014 at 3:06 pm
Starting McCown makes sense if:
*L&L have already decided that Glennon won’t be on next year’s roster
*L&L think it’s highly likely that they’ll draft a QB with a high pick
*L&L want McCown to be a bridge starter/backup in 2015 and need to get him some work & confidence.
November 4th, 2014 at 3:07 pm
Maybe we should bring in Glennon’s uncle Rico. The guy can throw a football over a mountain. Talk about a cannon. Have you seen the tape on him when he was working out by that van? He’d start right away
November 4th, 2014 at 3:09 pm
You shouldn’t go ballistic if he starts Butters. We’ve seen enough Glennon now.
Still need to know whether McCown’s worth that 4.5 million dollars he’d make next year. It’s all about who’s the better seatwarmer/backup for the rookie franchise QB we’ll draft. Glennon still has some trade value, but if McCown stinks, you shouldn’t trade him away and should cut McCown.
November 4th, 2014 at 3:12 pm
That’s what i’m thinking. Missing those 3 open targets and the underthrows this week was the final straw.
Trade Glennon in the offseason and that would allow you to wait until the 2nd to pick a QB and allow us to take a DB (specifically a safety) in the 1st, which i personally feel is the biggest hole on the team.
November 4th, 2014 at 3:12 pm
In my eyes it is a toss up of Mariota or Winston, who ever it is will start the rebuilding of the #Bucs but the positive side is we have some great building blocks.
November 4th, 2014 at 3:13 pm
Sean Glennon, your brother sucks. He’s going to be another Josh McCown and backup for this team or another team for the rest of his short NFL career….. Yeah he might end up starting for another NFL team with a shitty roster, but he’ll soon be replaced by another Marcus Mariota the following year.
“It’s as simple as that” – Lovie Smith
November 4th, 2014 at 3:15 pm
Just think Joe, you can now push your draft Winston campaign without much opposition. I mean, what’s the use of having Glennon finish out the year anyway? By your actions, and comments, you’ve already decided the Bucs should draft a QB in the first round. Why give Glennon any more when he’s as good as gone.
November 4th, 2014 at 3:18 pm
A. we won’t get the 1st over all pick.
That will be Oakland
B. Glennon will leave the Bux’s and be a star elsewhere where there is a coach and a line that can give him more than 2 seconds to set and throw.
C. Lovie will be here 3 years and have a total win/lose record of 10 and 35
D. the Glazzzzzers will hire a new regime that will make lovie look like Lombardi
November 4th, 2014 at 3:20 pm
We are in the #4 spot. What makes you all think that we will get the #1 spot even by losing out? Good luck with that morons.
November 4th, 2014 at 3:21 pm
Whomever we take in the draft only has 1 1/2 seasons to prove that they can play. If not we draft another QB.
November 4th, 2014 at 3:27 pm
Lovie is a great guy… not the head coaching answer for Tampa Bay. Glennon is a great guy… not the QB of the future for Tampa Bay. The Glazers do great things in the community… not great NFL owners and not the owners for the future success of Tampa Bay. So, until some enormous changes take place, sit back, relax and get ready for Marcus Mariota since too many local Gator fans will complain about getting Jameis.
November 4th, 2014 at 3:29 pm
Joe wants Glennon to start?—again…. geezuz..Joe is f-ing delusional
November 4th, 2014 at 3:34 pm
Send in… McClown…
November 4th, 2014 at 3:42 pm
If you consider sabotage letting Glennon throw the football. Then guilty as charged. Release the McClown.
November 4th, 2014 at 3:44 pm
Glennon has no trade value right now, NONE. If we were able to fetch a 3rd for him at the draft, after three games of uninspiring football, no team is going to want to spend anything to obtain that. Maybe we sucker some team into a 6th or 7th, but right now, Glennon is playing not only for his future in a Bucs uniform, but his future in the league.
November 4th, 2014 at 3:46 pm
Does it really matter who starts Sunday??? Either way we have wide open receivers waiving their arms frantically 30 yards downfield only to have the ball drop 10 yards behind them.
November 4th, 2014 at 3:51 pm
McCown was the starter, hurt his hand, healed up…ready to go …Glennon aint Brady…”you play to win the game!”
November 4th, 2014 at 3:55 pm
Being a gator fan has nothing to do with not wanting a QB that has the maturity of a 10 year old. But spin your version however you like.
November 4th, 2014 at 3:58 pm
This almost guarantees the Bucs draft a QB. Lovie benching Glennon shows no confidence in him being the future and thinking best chance of winning is with McCown…..
November 4th, 2014 at 4:00 pm
I guess you guys are going to pay Glennon to leave?
November 4th, 2014 at 4:06 pm
sadly, if glennon is not to be the guy for the bucs, that does actually mean josh mccown is the guy with a longer buc future. weird. i would say glennon missed out on reps in preseason and maybe that is a problem, but 5 weeks into your starting gig and with the preseason offense leaving with the preseason coordinator, glennon’s issues are on him and him alone at this point. he is playing himself out of the job and will be competing with the likes of mark sanchez, matt flynn, and christian ponder for journeyman gigs where something has gone wrong with the season if you see him on the field
November 4th, 2014 at 4:20 pm
SH*T SHOW!
Freeman, Glennon, McCown, Glennon, Winston, Mariota, etc…
Does it really matter?
This franchise is so f***ed.
Go Sucs!
November 4th, 2014 at 4:26 pm
I still think Glennon is the best Bucs QB presently and the QB of the future right here in Tampa Bay. I don’t think Lovie will spend a high draft pick on a QB. Just my opinion, so it’s not unanimous that Glennon sucks.
November 4th, 2014 at 4:43 pm
The entire offense has taken a step back, you ever think maybe the QB Coach/OC sucks?
The OC doesn’t understand the offense, so how can he coach it?
November 4th, 2014 at 4:47 pm
If you want to draft a QB, you play glennon and hope he does great so you can trade him for value.
Otherwise I don’t know what Lovie is thinking.
November 4th, 2014 at 4:49 pm
DeBartolo please save us, you are our only hope.
November 4th, 2014 at 4:52 pm
I am so F-ing tired of you whining babies about Glennon!!!!!!!
Screw you all and you are the most hypocritical groupies ever!
First off, idiots, it’s unfair to judge every other QB stats (good or bad) but exempt Glennon from accounting for his failures. Simms, Garcia, Leftwich, Freeman, and McCown all were highly scrutinized because of their skills limitations and you ate them alive like the Walking Dead. But this goofie – unorthodox and un-athletic heartless prototype QB plays like crap for 18 friggin games you cry injustice. F all of you and he’s costs us his share of games too in the past two years!
Second, stupid idiots, this goof ball has no nuts to dive for one yard! One Yard!!!! And you are clamoring for that kind of leader???
Third, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Lovie (again good or bad) is not going anywhere anytime soon and there’s no magic reset button; L&L are not marrying Glennon so get ready to support a rookie next season punks.
Where ever Glennon ends up I hope you follow him and watch his career as a backup!
Dam Idiots!
November 4th, 2014 at 4:52 pm
@panhandle
the OC doesn’t throw the ball my friend sorry but the OC doesn’t have a 59% completion percentage. Reminds me of that Quarterback and OC we had a few years ago when jeff jagodzinki got fired before the season started and still we had a better offense than this and better quarterback play. sorry but glennon IS freeman was…..inaccurate and only difference Is glennon is overrated in one state!!! only tampa looks at him and see’s probowl
November 4th, 2014 at 4:56 pm
Doesn’t matter with Lovie here. We won’t win until he is gone.
November 4th, 2014 at 4:58 pm
The Browns game was there for Glennon to make a definitive statement that he was the QB. The line held up for most of the game and there was a semblance of a running game.
So Glennon barely completed 50 percent of his passes, under threw a wide open Mike Evans twice and had a ghost blink off and OL’s helmet for a redzone INT.
Sorry guys, I root for every Bucs QB and I don’t care who starts, but Glennon had a golden opportunity to put his stamp on the position and didn’t do it.
I don’t give a damn who starts as long as they win the game.

^ Says the guy that FLIPS OUT when you bring up the idea of the Bucs trading back in the draft? 🙂
November 4th, 2014 at 5:39 pm
the statistic that doesnt lie is 28 touchdowns in 18 complete games.that is 1.55 td’s per game.We have to have a QB capable of at least 3 or four tds a game.
anybody watching can see he is not improving after 18 full games.The best QB’s are scoring 4 or 5 td’s a game.Lovie owes it to team to try whatever it takes to get a win
November 4th, 2014 at 5:43 pm
At this point does it really matter who starts at quarterback?? I mean cmon, we already have seen enough of Glennon to say he’s not the “future”. Its all about next year boys.
November 4th, 2014 at 5:47 pm
so if his passing isn’t good enough,and his running is pathetic the only way to justify his starting is to tank the season.Its not fair to other players on team that are still trying to win.
November 4th, 2014 at 5:52 pm
Glennon simply does not look “focused” on the game.
More like he is just going through the motions
Its like a “whatever” look
Looks like a guy with an intent to be traded.
You watch the Brady or Manning or Rothleisburger types
They lead the team by showing intensity for each play and even after a bad one they come back and the team knows the next play they are going to give it their all
McCown may not be in their category as a passer or QB in general but he certainly a shows an intensity that is lacking when Glennon is in there
Regardless it seems its time to try something to inspire this situation.
Glennons attitude seems to have fallen.
Maybe McCown can put a little fuel in the fire
November 4th, 2014 at 6:15 pm
“The best QB’s are scoring 4 or 5 td’s a game”
______________
ValricoBob,
UM, no they aren’t. Not even close. Only 8 teams are averaging more than 2 passing TDs every game.
November 4th, 2014 at 6:20 pm
Lovie is 1-7 and at least 3 of those losses could have possibly been wins with better coaching. I like Lovie but he has sucked and not deserving of a great deal of respect yet. I think Lovie gets at least 2 years but his formula for success is anything but.
November 4th, 2014 at 6:34 pm
If you really want to draft Winston then the Bucs have to keep losing so we get the top draft pick.
Which QB gives us the best chance to keep losing??? Mike Glennon.
If McCown goes in there and he plays good enough to win… then all the Bucs accomplished was losing out on Jameis Winston.
So keep playing Glennon.
November 4th, 2014 at 6:54 pm
The only other team that needs a Qb 1st pk 1st round besides Tampa bay , is the jets. And there gonna fire Rex at the end of the season. Maybe we hire him fire L Frazier & pick JW 1st pick. Hopefully rex Will bring some talent with him.
November 4th, 2014 at 6:58 pm
QB..w/ 1st pick……horsesheet….you don’t build a house by building the roof first….
November 4th, 2014 at 7:00 pm
@Architek One of the best posts I have read on this forum. One of the few people with common sense…. EMPHASIS on “FEW”!!!
“It’s as simple as that” – Lovie Smith
November 4th, 2014 at 7:00 pm
No OC,
No Qb
No D!
Lovie is just a coach , not Jesus. So if u were looking for us 2 resurrect, or water into wine or losing into winning. U might wanna grab a Snickers.( not goin anywhere for a while) we suck again!
November 4th, 2014 at 7:01 pm
lightning, mean, median, mode are all averages that each present a different picture.glennon is shooting himself in the foot and this was a game he should have scored 4 touchdowns.Getting the ball on minnesota 10 yardline and not
capitalizing was a failure on his part but i will amend my statement to say the best QB’s can score 4 or 5 touchdowns in a game.
November 4th, 2014 at 7:12 pm
Rasta-
You don’t but you don’t win or compete in a division with the 28th best QB in the league and the 6th or 7th best in the division.
If you have a chance to take a franchise qb you take one!
November 4th, 2014 at 7:20 pm
one more performance measure .in his five start he has 9 touchdowns with 6 int’s.
November 4th, 2014 at 7:41 pm
Architek you may want to consider anger management classes. You’re stating the obvious. Glennon sucks and after this season will never start another game unless the actual starting QB is hurt. The Bucs offense is pathetic so of course a change is needed at the most important position. I don’t think there is an MGM anymore (there never should have been one). Fans should only worry if the Bucs win a couple flukes down the stretch. For the first time ever I was hoping for a loss Sunday. I would rather the Bucs go 1-15 and have a top 2 pick as opposed to 3-13 and the 6th or 7th pick. Go Falcons!
November 5th, 2014 at 6:39 am
The horrible thing to imagine is that the Bucs could accidentally win against the Falcons, which would create support for the rationale that the coaching staff and team can adjust, and thoughts that McCown is pretty good, only to see Washngton drop a 56-3 on them in the following week.
A uniquely frustrating brand of sucking is going to be with us for a while.
Can’t help but wonder how much of a difference Tedford would have made. I’m reeeeeeally not sure that this crop of players could have manifested the innovative offense we thought he might bring, but thinking about the impact of that mere possibility, a very different picture of this first season starts to take shape; the defense would be on the field less, and better rested when they are because of it … Both sides of the ball benefit from the confidence and motivation of playing with a lead… Young players and FAs start to look more like they’re playing through their first steps towards greatness rather than their first steps toward revealing themselves as a bust (etc, etc) …
… Hmmmmm. ((/dreamy music cue))
The OC alone maybe isn’t realisticslly capable of that kind of impact, and maybe Tedford’s not that guy anyway, but a rookie NFL QBs coach thrust late into the OC role at the start of a rebuilding year with a whole new regime seems like a recipe for.. Oh, wait.. Yeah, that recipe is pretty much out of the oven now.
November 8th, 2014 at 3:23 pm
Doesnt matter who you start @ QB, Panthers will always kick you & your fat woman’s arses anyways…
