Nick Foles, Mike Glennon

Two guys with somewhat parallel paths last season.

 

Both were drafted in the third round (Foles in 2012, Glennon in 2013). Neither was expected to be a starter so early in their careers, but both became starters and saw a measure of success.  And at least for the moment, both seem likely to be the opening day starters on their respective teams next season.

 

The question: How good are these guys really?

 

Was their success legit?  Was it based in their teams' systems?  Was it just that they were unknown?  What's your take?

Foles' success was legit. Not sure if Glennon ever showed any success.

he showed promise though, and on that team last year is almost equivalent to success.  i say get him a TE like Ebron or if Amaro or Jenkins falls to their pick in the second, with Martin back, they should be pretty tough.

We can't let that happen. We need to take one of the three out of the equation at #28.

foles is good, but a lot has to do with the system.

 

glennon is ok but not much more than you saw last year.

 

both guys will see a regression next year, probably glennon more than foles.

 

i don't see either guy losing their jobs any time soon.

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
