Mike Glennon Is Not Destined to Fail and the New York Jets Should Capitalize

Mike Glennon Does Not Stink

There are so many in Jet-land who truly believe Mike Glennon stinks.

Why this is the case I’ll never know.

Take a look at his career NFL statistics:

 

This stat-line isn’t too shabby. In fact, it’s pretty damn good considering the circumstances.

Remember, Glennon wasn’t dealt a great hand. He was thrown right into the fire as a rookie and was forced to play with a far below average personnel grouping in Tampa Bay with the Buccaneers.

As the QB, he finished a robust 4-9. At the same time, he threw 19 touchdowns to nine interceptions. He also threw for 2,608 yards while completing 59.4 percent of his passes.

If Geno Smith pulled these numbers off in any of his two years playing (no less his rookie campaign), Jets fans would be firmly in love with the West Virgina product. (This is how QB starved the fanbase is.)

Don’t toss the kid away simply because you haven’t seen him play.
