Glennon Didn’t Lose His Job In Tampa
For the last time, we will say it.
Mike Glennon didn’t lose his job in Tampa.
When an organization drafts a QB at the No. 1 spot in the draft, that man literally becomes the organization. Once that happens, other QBs on the roster become extra guys. There’s no escaping this idea.
When the Bucs were in the fortunate position of drafting Jameis Winston No. 1 a couple of years ago, they had no choice but to draft Winston — even if they thought highly of Glennon (which they did and we know this through their ridiculous asking price for the kid via trade).
There was no open competition. There was no QB battle. Winston, and deservedly so based on talent, money and draft stature, immediately took that starting role ahead of Glennon.
