lol . . . always stepping on someone
I think we should use "nowt" as a term for later... you know, "not now"

Still carrying that water.
I hope the Glennon haters read this. It was never excuses I was making for Glennon when I was saying the lack of offense is not his fault. Its fact that he had pretty much nothing he could do. Glennon, if they choose to keep him as the QB, will thrive now.
I think the kid at least deserves the chance to have a complete off-season running with the 1s and a decent coaching staff, so we can see what he is truly made of. Would not be opposed to going after a veteran backup.
Glennon will be waiting in Tedford's new office when he gets to 1BUC Place... ;D
This thread and that link pretty much sum up the problems with this offense. We simply lacked the talent and ability to run what was being asked, and Mike, being a rookie, is going to be slower in his progressions. When he was allowed to run the offense himself, via the no-huddle, he was brilliantly effective. When I look at QB's I look to see if they are capable of doing key things or not, not whether or not they always do them (when they are rookies, it's just no valuable, plus, even elite QB's breakdown under pressure at times). Glennon, at times, looked very good, and the consistency is obviously more tied to a lack of a consistent ground game, lack of talent in the receiving corps, and an offensive line that was patchwork and couldn't keep heat off him consistently. I think he will thrive in a offense where he can make a pre-snap read and know where to go based on a quick look after the snap (verify your safeties). We'll see.

Illuminator never one to miss a chance to elevate himself (in his mind) by stepping on someone.

Alternative explanation: deliberate use of regional dialect. Not the first time I've done it either - deliberate choice of using 'treacle' over 'molasses' in a column about Glennon's footwork under pressure. I go with the whole British thing.
Does anyone here think Nick Foles is the best QB in the league? Probably not right? Foles is currently leading the NFL in passer rating, yd/attempt and has the best TD/int ratio in the league. Does anyone take a second to think why? I'll tell you why. It's because he's in a very QB friend offense. They run the ball very effectively and then hit PA passes off of the run game that create space for their receivers and also create very definitive reads for Nick making it extremely easy to work his progressions. There is no route confusion, there is no mis-reads and because the reads are more clear and concise he can work the progression more quickly.It's not a coincidence people. I don't care if the new offense is complicated, I care that it makes Mike's reads easier because that is what is going to make your QB play his best.
I never liked the idea of relying on the receiver reading the D before deciding where to go. That means the QB has to WAIT on the receiver a lot LONGER before the QB can get rid of the ball. If I got a great O'line, then it can be very effective. We don't, so once DCs understood what we were doing, it was doomed... A MIX of quick reads is needed to keep the D off balance, which Sullivan just didn't seem to get...
http://smartfootball.blogspot.com/2009/03/run-and-shoot-series-part-3-choice.html Here is part three of a 4 part series and BucNation did on Sully's offense before he got here. I've posted some good stuff in this thread on his offense but looking at some of the actual play schemes, is it really a wonder Glennon looked lost at times and starred people down? I can't believe this worked at all, ever. They are true read routes. Maybe it works for someone but when QBs and WRs are reading things on the run it slows everything down. We then see a completely different QB when we go to a traditional two minute drill, shocker! I truely believe Glennon has the goods if we get him out of this shitty offense. I more I look into it, the less I'm surprised that he didn't know what to do at times.
Good article . Give Glennon another year.

I'll go back to Nick Foles because he's a perfect example of an offense that creates very clear and concise reads. In my mind, progression reading speeds up dramatically when the QB knows where the receivers are without looking for them. Meaning, when Vjax is covered, Glennon knows that he has a slant on the back side or a 5 yard out by the TE. Sully's offense had true reads going on all over the field which I believe made it much harder for Glennon to know where people were without looking. Foles' offense created open spaces and clear reads which is something we need. We need to scrap the read routes and limited option routes and let mike play knowing where his receivers are and what they are running.
