Glenn is Rescue City - - that has been his role for a long time

 

I have no reason to expect that to change

 

Last year he was insurance for Buono with all the Lulay uncertainty

 

Previously he was  Calgary's insurance while their young QBs evolved

 

In Hamilton he failed as a number one ... same in Winnipeg

 

He is the QB every one loves to hate ... in spite of some very impressive career QB stats

 

No one thinks he is / will be / has been .... quite good enough ... but he keeps his team respectful and hoping

 

Given Glenn will want starting QB salary numbers so I am going to guess and say no one will sign him until the first major QB injury of the season ... at that point in will walk the salvager and get his pro rata starting QB money

 

He doesn't seem to have enough wear and tear on him to be done

 

I would suggest he might have another year or two in him ... may be he retires in 3 years .... because he will keep hoping to be the Championship MVP but eventually he will accept he is not going to retire after finally winning the GREY CUP

Glenn may or may not be in our plans, but it comes down to how much faith the coaches have in our current backups. He has not embarrassed himself in personal conduct, and would likely be a decent experienced backup if need be, but I don't see him coming back.

I just can't get behind this argument.

 

"What's the point? If he's playing for us in November, we're screwed"

 

Same goes for Marve or Brohm.

Is it wrong that I actually have more faith in Marve in November then Glenn simply due to watching Glenn all these years? Lol

Of course it's not wrong. It's the reason why half of us hate him.

 

Hate him?  Interesting.  I'd be curious to know if you've ever even spoken with him.

 

Grow up.

Oh geez...get off your effing high horse. Hate him as a football player

 

 

I can understand some people saying "Nah, I'd rather not bring in KG5 at this point..." but the outright vitriol being shown is absolutely astonishing to me. Man oh man, I didn't know he kicked so many people's dogs...

 

It's many factors....one of the biggest is downplaying every loss he's ever had and blaming something...anything....other than himself. 

No credibility. No leadership.  No drive.  No to KG.  No to mediocrity in this, the longest current Grey Cup drought.

 

It's a shame you had to miss the 2007 season. It was pretty good, for the most part...

 

 

And that's the story of KG's career...almost good enough

I'm told the #Bombers, by their choice, are only on periphery of Glenn talks. #Alouettes and #Riders appear to be the contenders. #CFL

Kirk Penton @PentonKirk · 3h3 hours ago

I don't know why more teams aren't be going hard after Glenn, who wouldn't command a huge salary. #CFL #Bombers

Kirk Penton @PentonKirk · 3h3 hours ago

I realize Glenn is in the twilight of his career, but is your team's backup better than him? For most teams, that's a no. #CFL #Bombers

 

Exactly…Kevin Glenn would only be insurance, in case the next backup - Portis, falters.

It's interesting that people always bring up 2007.  That was eight years ago.  Let's look at his 2014 highlight reel to see the KG of today, shall we?

Would much rather see Marve play instead of bringing back Glenn.

 

Not surprised that Montreal and Saskatchewan are the teams that want him. Crompton IMO is mediocre at best and at the low end of mediocre to top it off. Sask obviously doesn't want a repeat of last season.

Kg is a great insurance policy and can come in and win some games if necessary.

If this were 2011-12 I would agree with you. 2015 KG not so much.

All I'm saying is a year ago a lot of guys were happy to pick up Burris LOL. KG at the right price (150-175k) wouldn't be so bad. Do you really think marve or portis is going to perform better than kg?

For a CFL back-up? No way that's a good deal.

It's definitely not a bad one.

Isn't that what Willy makes?

Willy makes more than that. And Willy is a low end salary QB at this point.

Hell, Dinwiddie was making about 150k when he was here I believe.

Fair enough then. I didn't know what Willy actually made.

150k for KG still feels wrong to me.

When Willy was signed it was reported he had a base salary of $250,000. Same money asCollaros.

I think Glenn was in the spotlight in 2014 due to the RedBlacks fiasco and he was given a great opportunity in BC to prove all of his critics wrong ...unfortunately he failed to do so.  I was all for bringing him in last year but not this year, his ship has sailed.

Glenn will sign with the Riders so don't lose sleep anyone.

I'd be OK with KG being here this season. He's an insurance policy in case willy gets hurt. Solid backup and gives Marve time to learn the game more.

He's the kind of insurance policy where your house burns down and the guy shows up with a tent and says "here's your payment, enjoy". Meh sorry I just don't want to pay a guy to take up a spot in the chance that Willy gets injured and then may actually contribute. And barely at that. I don't say this out of "vitriol" either. Did any of you guys watch that BC playoff game?? Have you all forgotten.

I agree with you 100% with the small exception that he would.be better then Marve or Portis due to experience.. But experience alone doesnt win football games... And neither did Glenn when it really counted... As usual.

Upon further review, i really cant say id rather have Glenn starting for us in November over Marve or Portis because Marve would have had more time in the system and with the players and as #2 (if brohm doesnt re-sign) would have been more game ready.. Imo.

That's not how Stegall described Glenn in the huddle, but what would he know?

 

After all, Glenn didn't interview well.  That's by far the most important thing to consider.

If my high horse keeps me from sinking to that level, I'm fine staying up here.

I thought her mom always said that.

Love, love will keep us together

Think of me babe whenever

Some sweet talkin' girl comes along

Singin' a song

Don't mess around you've just got to be strong.

Just stop. Cuz I really love you

Stop. I keep thinking of you.

Look in my heart & may love keep us together...

Forever.

 

He actually drove over mine...that's why I have such a grudge...

 

I am guessing that Westwood was in the car with him and mooned the dog as they drove on. Because that would explain some things.

Riiight....have you ever looked at his career averages???? Here's a clue, his career average is 72%! 72%! Only 1 season where he was over 80% & that was only 80.4% (once in 20+ years) If he was any good, at all he'd have way way more points. He's only the bomber career points leader because of how long our stupid franchise kept him around...Saying a player sucks when that player actually does suck is not an insult.

Go cry somewhere else...

Haha don't forget that we Troy boy left as and continues to be loaded with sour grapes because of his cutting. He didn't know when to leave gracifully or with class. in today's league he would never have survived as long as he did. He was NEVER good. just limped along with a Canadian passport.

Here's praying lirim stays healthy and shatters Westwoods numbers. He's already ten times the kicker.

Guess Lui Passaglia sucks too then. He only went over 80% twice in 25 seasons. Dave Ridgway's career FG percentage was 78%.

hah...I love how this thread is going.

I know, it's sad how long all those kickers played for. The kickers now have much better percentages. Back then there wasn't enough legit competition. Now the league is much stronger in the kicking game percentage wise. Under 80% now just doesn't cut it.

Let it go.  Westwood has been retired for like 40 years.  The only person that cares about your hate on is....you.

I hope Brohm doesn't end up in BC.

The man deserves a capital L. I haven't felt so good about a 

Bomber kicker for a long time. Not sure what that says about me or the teams the Bombers have had for a while.

So don't hold Westwood accountable to todays standards then? Back in the day he was a perfectly fine kicker, he just happened to really crap his pants in a very important game.
