There are no further questions. The Chicago Bears have their starting quarterback for the 2017 season. GM Ryan Pace didn’t mince words on that subject. Ready or not, Mike Glennon is the man this year. The one who will take up the mantle of Jay Cutler, whom fans still have mixed feeling about. How should one feel about losing a quarterback who broke every franchise passing record but had just one playoff appearance in eight seasons?
Suffice to say Glennon comes in with a lot to prove. He wants to show he can succeed where Cutler failed, while also rewriting the narrative that he’s just a failed draft pick who became a backup. Like it or not, that’s what it looks like after he went 5-13 as a starter. Then losing his job to Jameis Winston. The hope is better protection and help around him will flip the script.
What many still wonder (or lament at this point) is what could’ve been regarding other moves to make. There was the draft of course and it’s still possible they grab somebody there. However, most of the questions center around the bold move they didn’t make. One that couldn’t brought a native son home to on a white horse.
