I was encouraged upon first hearing this, thinking "FINALLY!".
Not knowing much about him, I googled some scouting reports. Opened up Gruden's, and it all seemed pretty promising. He seemed quite impressed. so, yay!
Sounds good! So tell me more, Mr. Gruden.
In the final paragraph:
Poop.
Gruden's scouting report on Mike Glennon - NFL Nation Blog - ESPN
Yea, I saw the same thing after they drafted him.
We knew it was coming. Freeman was last, or just about last in every QB category. Completion %, QB rating, etc.
In 3 games, he threw 2 TD's and 9 INTs. Something you DON'T want to do in your contract year.
Problem is, he's got something like guaranteed $8 million on his contract. Trade deadline is end of Oct., and the only team with cap space to get him, is the Jaguars, and they "aren't interested".
He'll sit on the sidelines with a clipboard, and collect $8 million.
