**This article is both an homage to my weird devotion to Mike Glennon and a sign of respect to one of the hardest working fantasy writers in this industry, Mr. Rich Hribar. (Yes, he gave me permission to borrow his Worksheet style).
LordReebs 2QBFFB Love it, love it, love it. (One small thing: Glennon only threw one TD against Minnesota.)
scott_pianowski LordReebs Right. That should say 4 of 5 starts he’s thrown 2 TDs. Thanks for pointing it out & reading. Appreciate it!
2QBFFB LordReebs I think I want Glennon to be good more than anyone in Tampa does. I loved your concept.
scott_pianowski 2QBFFB Hatie Smith.
scott_pianowski LordReebs Thanks. It was fun. H/T to Rich for letting me borrow the Worksheet style.
scott_pianowski LordReebs I’m right there with you rooting for Glennon. I basically wrote a Glennon starting countdown series last year.
2QBFFB scott_pianowski we had a running Glennon segment on the Sunday morning hangout nearly the entire back half of 2013.
2QBFFB scott_pianowski Glennon has more 2 TD passing games since the start of last year than Flacco, Kap, Cam and others.
LordReebs scott_pianowski Fun times we had with that show, early morning wake up call and all.
LordReebs scott_pianowski But, you know, whenever you’re 1-7 and can start Josh McCown you kinda have to, right? Oh, wait. No, you don’t.
LordReebs Peyton Sproles Fitz for LaFell, Palmer, Bush & Julius. I get Peyton. Standard
TurnerSportsNet yeah, that works.
LordReebs getting Peyton is worth losing Julius?
LordReebs 2QBFFB One hangup with Glennon is that he *never* goes past those two TDs. But at least he has theoretical upside; JM does not.
LordReebs 2QBFFB And geesh, anyone who can keep his head above water while playing for Schiano and Lovie is my hero.
scott_pianowski LordReebs Right, it’s a safe floor he provides.
scott_pianowski LordReebs Definitely easy with that neck of his, but yeah, quite the circus there past couple of seasons.
2QBFFB LordReebs Outstanding. Merton Hanks All-Stars.
