Mike Glennon Signs With The Jaguars
May 8th, 2020
Backups on the move
The Mike Glennon Mob got the shaft back in 2014, when the Bucs chose tanking instead of playing the best quarterback on the roster.
Joe still believes Team Glazer should issue refunds to the innocents who headed to the Den of Depression after QB Josh McCown returned to the starting lineup following an injury to spearhead the Chase For Jameis.
Man, things sure have changed for the better in these parts.
Glennon, 30, has since played quarterback for the Bears (2017), the Cardinals under Byron Leftwich (2018), and last year for Chucky and the Raiders. Today, NFL network reported Glennon signed with the Jaguars to compete for a backup gig behind Garnder Minshew.
For those new to JoeBucsFan.com, Joe coined the “Mike Glennon Mob” term as legions of fans insisted Glennon was excellent starter material just because he threw 19 touchdowns and 9 interceptions as a rookie.
Joe never agreed with that, and it was why Joe howled for the Bucs to either draft Johnny Football or Teddy Bridgewater in the 2014 NFL Draft. Instead, the Bucs decided McCown’s horrendous 12-year body of work was just the right tonic to replace Glennon and lead the Bucs to the Super Bowl. After the Bucs drafted Jameis Winston, general manager Jason Licht wouldn’t trade Glennon and wanted to make him a very expensive backup.
And here we are, six years later with Tom Brady.
Good luck, Mike!

Glennon sucks, sucked, has sucked, will suck and will have sucked. Noy that McClown was any good.
May 8th, 2020 at 12:53 pm
I’ve heard that Glennon has a “cannon” for an arm! I hope the Jags get through training camp without all the receivers having broken figures.
May 8th, 2020 at 12:56 pm
That is fake news!!!!!!! The glennon mob was mostly about keeping MG8 and building up the roster!!!!!!! But local and the media laughed at and did not give much consideration to the “trade down crowd” because they said that there were two can’t miss qb’s of jw3 and Marcus M!!!!!!!!! How did that work out!!!!!!!!!
It’s time to herd the sheep, and put them back in the pen!!!!!!!!!
go bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 8th, 2020 at 12:57 pm
Ranking the 10 to 14 current quarterbacks on Florida NFL teams. Where does Glennon rank. 7th?
May 8th, 2020 at 12:59 pm
Admittedly I was part of the mob but not because I thought he was “excellent starter material.” It was because I thought he was the best QB on the roster in 2014. I thought Glennon performed well enough in his rookie season despite the 3-ring circus of Josh Freeman’s exit, Carl Nicks going down, and MRSA. Not only that, he only had one credible receiving option in Vincent Jackson.
He never had a fair shot in Chicago either. Glennon may not be a better athlete than Trubisky but he’s a better QB.
May 8th, 2020 at 1:00 pm
And Joe declared himself the General of the MGM. Good memory. That only happened when the Bucs made the decision to go back to McCown in Week 9 when he returned from injury. –Joe Until the “But all we need is”. And how did that work out?
May 8th, 2020 at 1:03 pm
Yep.
The only difference is that both Jay-Miss and the Hawaiian Prince are draft BUSTS! Glennon not so much.
May 8th, 2020 at 1:03 pm
Check ya sheets!
How much you wanna bet that MG makes more than 1.1 million this year?
Poor JayMiss…….
Poor Nuthuggers!
😭
May 8th, 2020 at 1:14 pm
mg has probably socked away 20+ mil over his career…a qb can never play and still leave the league uber rich nowadays
May 8th, 2020 at 1:15 pm
I never thought Glennon was anything special, but he should have started the entire 2014 season to see what he had. We knew what Josh McCown was. The other big mistake was Licht not trading Glennon for a pick. Why pay that much for a backup when you are rebuilding the team?
May 8th, 2020 at 1:18 pm
Glennon was better than Freeman in 2014. And, I am with El realisto, Glennon was ok to have and build the roster- not saying he is the answer, but he’s just as good as Freeman and potentially Jameis?
Did Glennon just get paid more than Jameis?
Its not that Glennon was the answer, it’s that other first round picks weren’t and we were in a bad spot.
May 8th, 2020 at 1:19 pm
Jameis is the rabbit….Glennon is the hare…both footnotes at the end of the day….Glennon did have that victory in Pittsburg 🙂
May 8th, 2020 at 1:19 pm
2014 Freeman- whatever year he was traded- he was awful. First year under schisms he was pretty good. ***
May 8th, 2020 at 1:22 pm
I am sure Glennon is better than Griffin.
May 8th, 2020 at 1:29 pm
2013 was Freemans last year and then went on to have one of the worst MNF QB performance of all time.
2014 was the McCown tank.
Was happy for Freeman though when he got that win with the Colts.

Cam Newton open to backup role with right team
Well, Jason – Bruce?
May 8th, 2020 at 1:37 pm
Screw Napoleon Dynamite the guy they thought so much of the Bears immediately drafter Trubisky who is awful. Whoever thought he was the guy probably also thought Greg Schiano was a good coach. Schiano was the worst coach in the history of the Bucs and thats saying a lot. Mark Dominic also falls under the worst GM in the NFL for hiring Schiano, how the bum has a job on TV as an expert is beyond me. Anytime i hear him speak I know a team should just do the opposite.
May 8th, 2020 at 1:42 pm
Jags have known for a while that they needed a backup QB, ever since they traded Foles.
So for all of the Winston apologists and enablers, the Jags could have signed Winston, but chose Glennon instead. What’s that tell you?
May 8th, 2020 at 1:59 pm
Dear ItzOK – Schiano was Bellicheat compared to Leeman “4-28” Bennett. I still have nightmares about that two year debacle.
May 8th, 2020 at 2:02 pm
Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooo?
May 8th, 2020 at 2:02 pm
Cares!
May 8th, 2020 at 2:03 pm
“So for all of the Winston apologists and enablers, the Jags could have signed Winston, but chose Glennon instead. What’s that tell you?”
That the Jags have no clue how to run a competent football organization.

Oh yeah, I remember that.
Didn’t Joe promote it as a “Big Announcement” like it was going to be some Earth shattering news?
May 8th, 2020 at 2:34 pm
He still got a better contract than Jameis!
May 8th, 2020 at 2:39 pm
I’m surprised the headline wasn’t
“Mike Glennon Returns to Tampa”
May 8th, 2020 at 2:40 pm
All time winning record is irrelevant considering we are the ones with the Lombardi trophy. Glazers don’t care about wins and losses before they bought the team, it’s far as they are concerned it got them a discount on the purchase
May 8th, 2020 at 2:47 pm
PP
Yeah, you’re right.
Winning doesn’t really matter.
May 8th, 2020 at 2:59 pm
Jesus you haters are relentless. Jameis owns almost every franchise record as a QB. You can rewrite history if you want but Glennon was absolute trash. He was not better than McCown either despite Joe’s conspiracy theory. Heck the Bears got him, paid him a lot of money. I guess they did all that before they watched his film because they turned around and immediately drafted a QB with the 2nd overall pick that year. Glennon probably won’t make the roster in J-ville and his career will mercilessly come to an end.

JayMiss holds some records for the NFL’s losing-est franchise.
Kinda like being the smartest guy in a room full of retards.

“Kinda like being the smartest guy in a room full of retards.“
Doosh would know too much about this. Smartest guy in your home school.
May 8th, 2020 at 3:45 pm
“LOL!!
the sheep trying to talk football. How cute
low football IQ
Cant the sheep realize that Jacksonville is going full Tank for Trevor? Lasik?
They will fire the HC and hire a big time coach during the offseason with the #1 pick Lawrence to rebuild their franchise
The long neck is harmless and wont hinder there blatant chance of getting the #1 pick
Giraffe is there because of the Cam Newton rumors and heat to sign who will actually hurt their chances of the top pick
Gullible Sheep!”
Kobe Faker
May 8th, 2020 at 4:17 pm
Kobe,
Ummm….it’s Jacksonville! They have no plans to tank , they can accomplish that without one. If they had a plan to tank, I believe that they’d have a 10-6 season.
May 8th, 2020 at 4:22 pm
LOL!!!
May 8th, 2020 at 4:51 pm
When Mike Glennon was starting for the Bucs there was high hopes for him, however, since that time he hasn’t improved. He still the big lumbering QB he was in 2013: slow release, doesn’t push the ball downfield, stares down the rush and folds under pressure. Too bad, I had high hopes for him.
May 8th, 2020 at 4:57 pm
Well good for Mike Glennon, at least there’s still a market for a backup QB instead of all these ex #1’s still out there. Flacco went under the knife so he’s out. Now it just leaves Newton and Smith looking for work.
May 8th, 2020 at 5:29 pm
The same people who wanted JW run are the same people who thought Mike Glennon was “the answer.”
People forget. I don’t.
May 8th, 2020 at 6:15 pm
Not even close Pugs
May 8th, 2020 at 6:28 pm
DooshLaRue
Yes he did. Also remember the defense back then? And the online with the famous turnstile.
May 8th, 2020 at 6:46 pm
Lol Mike Glennon Mob. Still can’t believe that was actually a thing. What a train wreck this past “lost” decade was.
May 8th, 2020 at 6:53 pm
Glennon > Trubisky…Before they yanked Glennon, check out the number of drops his receivers had. I am not part of the MGM mob but the Bears did him dirty.
If they had kept Glennon for a year and used the picks to protect him instead of embarrassing him on national stage…yadda yadda yadda Karma
Would Glennon have done worse that 7-9 with the same roster Jameis had last year?
May 8th, 2020 at 7:00 pm
I love that people think Glennon is even on the same planet as Jameis. The posters on this site have to be the dumbest football fans on earth. It just confirms debate ok here is a clossal waste of time.
May 8th, 2020 at 7:02 pm
I hope he is getting more than Winston, even though he does suck it is in a different way than Winston.
May 8th, 2020 at 7:20 pm
Seriously why does everyone hate Jameis so much?
May 8th, 2020 at 7:29 pm
Ndog,
Just curious to see how the nfl market values Glennon vs Jameis?
Interesting stuff.
May 8th, 2020 at 7:39 pm
I just pray that when Jameis is given an opportunity to play within a modern offense you people are still here. I just want to see what you will say when he is putting up MVP numbers while still able to keep the TOs low cause he actually gets the benefit from getting 10-12 easy throws a game by great design instead of the crap he’s been dealt here with this complete lack of creativity, deep drops, no run game and constantly having to score a ton every week. Go watch the Saints, Rams and other offenses play they are constantly getting guys WIDE OPEN while almost every throw in our offense is tight window throws.
May 8th, 2020 at 8:23 pm
And yet McCown is still playing in the NFL and Manziel is long gone.
May 8th, 2020 at 8:47 pm
Glennon did only one thing well. He had a good scoring percentage in the red zone, but about the only way he ever got down there was his defense got a turnover. He had no escapability at all, and his most often thrown pass was to the check down receiver. Easy fodder for sackers on the other team. His first down percentage was terrible. He certainly is on the right team—the Jag losers.
May 8th, 2020 at 9:05 pm
I just want to see what you will say when he is putting up MVP numbers while still able to keep the TOs low cause he actually gets the benefit from getting 10-12 easy throws a game by great design instead of the crap he’s been dealt here with ………,..
Blah blah blah…..
You mean like those easy throws he was asked to make that resulted in interceptions to start the game? 5-10 yard passes are apparently much more challenging than I realized.
N-CLUELESS….. you are truly special aren’t you?
May 8th, 2020 at 9:09 pm
“Modern offense”!
The Saints and Rams run offenses designed in the 1980’s.
The fact that they are still in use today means by defintion they’re modern.
Besides if you knew half as much as you believe you do, you’d know there’s no offense that doesn’t have its foundation in the 70s or 80’s. Un fing real…
Stop the tight window throw blaming on the scheme or the recievers. Both are easily dismissed.
Long developing plays, sure they exist and that’s what a vertical spread is designed to do. But when 70% of Winston’s throws went under 10yds , it’s rather hard to sell such an excuse driven premise.
The fact, that winston doesn’t listen to his coaches and goes for the hero throw as if were mandated by law is not something that aids the construction of your flimsy house of misrepresentation and ignorance.
You will one post prattle on about 5000k yds, 3rd best scoring offense, deep ball throws, 30 aTDs, then in another post blame the scheme, coaches, recievers, that’s indication of how inconsistent your own thoughts are on the subject. If only life allowed such a license to pick and choose the individual parts while ignoring the whole. It doesn’t work that way.
The insistence on “cherry picking” is a sign of limited intellectual capacity or honesty. Neither is evidence of your self proclaimed superiority in football knowledge. One is a serious character flaw, the other is nature. No matter the source, the remedy is the same. Humility and a desire for truth above all else. 0 and 2 .
I will balance this by stating that when you remove the object of your obsession from the game. You have some solid opinions and excellent insights. Respect!
May 8th, 2020 at 11:05 pm
I’m no fan of Glennon, but I’d rather have him as the backup here instead of Gabbert.
May 8th, 2020 at 11:41 pm
I believe we would have won more Games, and won playoff games had we kept Shiano and Glennon.
May 9th, 2020 at 12:01 am
The amount of pro-Glennon babble above is mind boggling. The guy panics at ghosts and runs into a sack, runs into a collapsing pocket, has a long windup and poor accuracy. He’s really bad under pressure, immobile and after a rookie year where his stats look good on paper, he has blown knockwurst when given any chance. Didn’t get a fair shake in Chicago? Bwaaahaaaahahahahaha. They took one look at him in practice and decided Mitch Effin Trubisky was a better option. One season in AZ – one in Oakland (Chucky saw all he needed to) and now he’s sitting behind a guy who would have trouble being a backup on most teams. But yeah – should have kept him. Licht should have gotten a pick for him? Right. A nose pick. The guy was garbage at NCState and is what anyone who knows football (like all his ex coaches) already know.
Glennon sucks.
May 9th, 2020 at 11:56 am
It shows how bad the Bucs have been.
Since Jeff Garcia left, Josh Freeman was arguably our best QB.
That says it all.
If Tom Brady Never plays a Down, he might still be our best QB in team history.
Thats how you become the Worst Sports franchise in history. No team has lost more
May 9th, 2020 at 8:20 pm
Say what you want about Glennon, but he should’ve started over Josh McCown in 2014. That move made no sense whatsoever.
May 10th, 2020 at 9:45 am
I was all for starting Mike Glennon over both Josh’s (Freeman after he went mental and McCown from the day Lovie Smith gifted him the Bucs starting QB gig), so I guess that made me part of the fictitious MGM? I’m going full “lone wolf” bold prediction and saying he takes over the Jaguars starting QB role from Minshew at some point this season. Gone from the fans’ faces will be the fake Minshew mustaches, and in their place will be attractive women in the stands holding up “I want your baby Napoleon Dynamite!” signs and images on the Jumbotron of Napoleon Dynamite doing his signature dance every time Glennon tosses a TD pass! Hey it’s gonna happen, so might as well play the long shot…go big or go home. 🙂
May 10th, 2020 at 11:26 am
D1 – excellent post. I hope NDog here’s you for his sake.
This off-season is so fun. We now have troll repellant. The offseason moves make the trolls completely ineffective.
In BA I Trust!
