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.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
