How did he manage to come up with Nichols at #1?

Not to mention one of his five interceptions was last week in a hail mary throw before the half. Not even an error in judgement; just a hope and a prayer.

More reasons to ban this poster, whose only contribution to the site is to promote his own blog......

"Glenn is climbing this list quickly; he has been the hottest QB in the league over the last two games and has pulled the Riders into playoff contention"

 

Did Glenn pull them into playoff contention or did their defense pull them into contention?

No, but by the grace of God, and to the surprise of almost everyone, Glenn has managed to imitate a legit CFL quarterback and give a degree of respectability to the Riders, but who knows how long this will last?

Glenn always looks like a legitimate CFL QB...  until he doesn't. And by then, it's too late. Usually when it counts.

Once the weather gets colder, and the stakes get higher Glenn will do is disappearing act. No doubt in my mind.  Good for him though for playing at a high level and giving Saskatechewan a chance. 

I always find it interesting that posters criticize Glenn, but say that if not for his broken arm the Bombers would have won the 2007 Grey Cup. 

If these posters are to believed, then Glenn would have thrown 7 pick-6's in the game.

Kevin Glenn is a good QB.  Always has been.  He has an accurate quick release, is generally efficient and reads defenses well.  He is not a great QB for an equal number of reasons, but give the guy credit.

Exactly. in 2011 in the East final Glenn went 13/18 for 113yrds before being yanked for Porter. Difference being this was a cold outdoor game.

Even in domes, he's struggled in big games. The 100th Grey Cup in Toronto comes to mind.

2007 was more a case of Dinwiddie making a bunch of rookie mistakes that Glenn even if he was lack lustre was unlikely to make. The D really stepped up in that game, just gave too much away in turnovers. 

Although the best predictor of future behaviours is past behaviours and I am by no means a supported of Glenn, he has had to play on some really crappy teams. This year his play has been the best I have ever seen him play, so maybe he will go out with a bang- like Hank Burris.

Probably, but just look at how many of us were expecting Burris to choke in the last Grey Cup. Weird poop happens.

I would say he was better in Calgary the year he played in the Grey Cup for them, but then he pooped his pants in the cup game so classic Glenn still.

That game has to be the least entertaining Grey Cup in history ... but I'll still rewatch the half of it when the Bombers were on D.  Gavin Walls was a fire breathing monster in that game. 

Statistically, Glenn is on a similar pace to his 2007 and 2010 seasons with the Bombers and Ti-Cats, respectively. I would still argue 2007 was his best season and if not for Kevin Eiben, he goes on to get a ring and win the MOP.

Kevin Eiben can eat a bag of dicks.

Glenn  would have thrown 5 interceptions in the 07 Cup but we would have won anyway. Saskatchewan had no business being in that game at all. Probably one of the worst GC champs in the last 15 years. It's unfortunate that we had a backup QB that had never had a CFL regular season snap to rely on.

MOP is voted on before the GC.

I meant Grey Cup MOP. Or is it MVP?

Kevin Glenn is a rollercoaster ride. You get a couple games of this fantastic QB, followed by a couple games of a hot mess at QB. It's why his career average is around .500.

I fully expect a bad game or two from him very soon.

I prefer not to think about what "could have been" in the 07 GC game had KG played... for all we know he puts up a "typical soul crushing Kevin Glenn" performance... as some here have stated...

Even with Dinwiddie throwing four picks, the Bombers only lost by four. I have no doubt had Glenn been able to play, the Bombers win the 95th Grey Cup.

If you guys ever get the chance to talk to Doug Brown one-on-one (preferably over a drink!), you ask him about how 2007 GC would have gone if Kevin Glenn was starting for the Bombers. It'll go something like this: "We stomp them by 20 points, minimum..."
