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

 

The only downward trend for Willy, was the downward direction he took after being sacked because of a poor o line. I think we have started correcting that in a big way. See our moves in fa and other O Line acquisitions.(wink)

 

It wasn't all on the O-line. For a pro QB Willy takes way too long with pre- and post-snap reads and putting the ball in play. You only get so many steamboats. If he doesn't correct that, then even a better line won't help.

I agree with those who don't want KG5 around here but at least he usually disposes of the ball quickly, often to the wrong team at the worst possible time, but that is another matter. 

I'd personally rather start Robert Marve over Kevin Glenn in a do or die game.

And what do you base that on? Marve's Grey Cup appearances with 2 different teams? Oh wait...

Bombers back in on the bidding as per Kirk Penton

Just re-watched the second half of the Winnipeg-Calgary game - the one in the snow. I'll take Marve, thank you - and 17to85 - I'm not just hot for Marve, I'm Troypod on Marve.

And what do you base that on? Marve's Grey Cup appearances with 2 different teams? Oh wait...

What are you basing your Glenn love on? His performance in the BC - Montreal playoff game? Oh wait...

Glenn has lost it. Time to go sell doughnuts in Detroit full time.

Experience only KBF. Insurance. Marve has done nothing in this league. I don't want him getting the keys to the franchise yet. 

iso you do understand that Glenn does not provide "insurance" if he plays like he so often does.  You also realize that he's now a year older and that "experience" is such that BC, a team that could really use a quality backup, had Glenn and cut Glenn.  What does that say about him?  You're simply hoping, nothing more, that Glenn will give us more that Marve, but you have no way of knowing if that's the case.  None at all.  

 

And yes, Glenn has two Cup appearances.  Remind me again what his record is as a Cup starter, would you?

I wouldn't knock the BC experience... The coaching was clueless with all the talent they had.

Well, I could ask you the same question about Marve. How many GC appearances & wins? When was the last time we won a Grey Cup? 

word from #cfl source is #bombers are closing in on a contract with QB Brian Brohm

I know he started for Calgary in 2012 but what was his other Cup appearance? He was injured in 2007...otherwise that game wouldn't have been close. I would take 2007 Glenn every day of the week.

Marve got us our first win in Calgary since Khari Jones. How many games did Glenn actually win for BC last year? I was at the game at BC Place last year and I watched Glenn get hit by Bryant Turner a few times and just crumple and give up. I've seen that movie too many times. No thanks.

The Stamps were in cruise mode that game. They were thinking ahead to the Western Final. #ripeforthepicking

But if Glenn had won it, it would have been one of the greatest exhibitions of quarterbacking in the history of football.  Ya, I know how this drill works.

Now now, that game in Calgary was an ass ugly game in the snow. Sloppy sloppy sloppy. It was a good effort by the Bombers and Marve but it's not like they went and beat a team in great conditions that was firing on all cylinders. This board has a real problem with blowing things out of proportion.

It's the offseason. We need something exciting to pass the time.

This. 9 year ago he was a decent QB. He has been downhill ever since and turtles at either the first hit or if he sees his breath.

 

I get that it's Wpg hosting the GC and want the best chance to win, I just don't see this re-tread who has been cut by most teams in the league, being the answer and am simply stunned that others still do. Glenn is done. Let's move on.

Does anybody know Glenn's all time passing yardage and where he ranks on the CFL all-time list?

43336 total yards and he's 8th in all time passing yards.

It's funny people here are so anti-Glenn, he did get this team as close to a Grey Cup championship as it's been in a long long time.

Long long time? Six years one way and four the other is not a long long time.

Testify my brother! Power to the anti-glenn denizens!!

Yeah it was an ugly-ass win, but one that the Stamps definitely wanted, if for nothing else for Huff's ego to go 16-2 and be considered one of the best teams of all time. Bo Levi played the entire game. Why if it was a "nothing" game?

What I took away from that game was that the Bombers played a completely error-free second half with Marve not turning over the ball once. He even had a few really good completions and excellent throws on the run, while Bo Levi looked like a clone of Jason Boltus. Anyway, not saying Marve is the next Tom Clements, but he's got the tools to be one of the most exciting QB I've seen in a Bomber uniform in a long time.

Someone's gotta play qb.

Say what you want but there is no substitute for experience especially at the QB position.
