He’s young with starting experience

The Bears are in a serious pickle regarding the quarterback situation. Head coach John Fox is going to start 2017 on the hot seat. He just oversaw the worst record a Chicago football team has ever had in a 16-game season at 3-13. It was a three-game regression from his 6-10 campaign the year before. He has to improve in the win column or he’s liable to be fired. That is beyond difficult to do with a rookie quarterback.

Glennon would represent a compromise. He’s still fairly young at 27-years old but he has something a rookie doesn’t:  NFL starting experience. In total he has been in the league for four seasons and started 18 games in that span. That’s many times more than Jimmy Garoppolo who is only two years younger. Throw in the fact he’ll probably come cheaper than other options on the market and it at least gives the Bears flexibility in the draft.
