Losing In Tampa Wasn’t Completely His Fault
Mike Glennon’s record as a starter in the National Football League isn’t anything to write home about. 5-13, is this record, to be exact.
Not good.
His stat line of 30 TDs to just 15 INTs is good, however, so let’s not pile on the guy as a losing QB from the outset. There’s much more than meets the eye here.
These Tampa teams Glennon played with weren’t talented.
As a rookie in 2013, he was thrown into the fire on a 4-12 team. In 2014, they finished 2-14 en route to securing Winston as the top pick. During that second season, the Bucs defense finished 25th in the league in both yards allowed and points scored per contest.
When it came to rushing, the 2014 Bucs finished fourth to last with a mere 85.9 yards a game. In 2013, this rushing attack finished 22nd in the league.
The defense and the running game did Glennon no favors and he still put up a solid stat line. This is nothing to sneeze at and two areas of a football team that the QB impacts very little.
