- On throws traveling 10 or more yards in the air, (Quarterback X) completed just 4 of 12 for 68 yards, with no touchdowns and an interception.Here is a stat line for a game this weekend. Take a guess who this QB is. I'll give you a hint, it's not Mike Glennon but he is ranked in the top 10 is passer rating.
Are you going to reveal or wait until someone guesses?
Joe Montegna?
Russell Wilson
Joe Montegna?
That's the best defensive player I've ever seen.Seriously though, I'm gonna say Russell Wilson. I was at that game and he was pretty lousy.
What's the point you say? He still average 7.6 yards per attempt. I'll re-iterate what i've said about Russell Wilson. He is a very good young quarterback but is helped immensely by an elite defense and and elite running game. What Wilson did yesterday and has done through his career is complete shorter passes and get chunks of yardage after the catch. Everyone bangs on Glennon for his yards/completion but fail to realize how many other QBs throw short passes but the end result is much different because of the people around him. Wilson is game manager who is try to break out of that mold. He is so successful because of his cast around him, he routinely has to throw the ball less than any other QB in the league and averages just 25 attempts per game!

yeah, but if it's 3rd down and 7 and no one is open, Wilson is going to scramble for a first down keeping the drive alive. Glennon is going to run backwards until he gets sacked.
Tom Brady? Drew Brees?

Try to spin it however you want, but you can put it on one hand the number of times Glennon actually ran for positive yardage. Hell even just step up in the pocket. Instead he back-pedals consistently.

Not sure what your angle really is. Though, it's a pretty weak one. For his career, Russell Wilson is 335-461 (72.67%) with 2,826 yards (6.1 y/a) with 19 TD's and 7 Ints (95.59 passer rating), when passes are thrown 10 yards or less (including passes behind the line). So basically, you're cherry picking one game where he wasn't very good in this area when his body of work shows that he's generally extremely good. Glennon's numbers are adequate, 145-209 (69.38%), 967 yards (4.6 y/a) with 7 TD's and 3 Int's (84.36 passer rating), but his body of work has been compiled in less than half the games as Wilson. I'm not saying Glennon is bad a Wilson is great, just saying that picking one bad game while ignoring 26 other games to make a point is quite flimsy.

My angle is this, give him some help and we may all be surprised how good he looks. That's all.
