My favorite teams
He was the insurance plan the minute the ink hit the paper...unless you are delusional enough to believe he was considered the long term solution for the Bears when Pace signed him. Him becoming the backup doesn't change the fact that Glennon was signed as his just in case player. Pace got Glennon just in case he couldn't get his guy in the draft. Pace got Glennon just in case the QB he drafts isn't ready to start from day 1. Pace got Glennon just in case the QB he drafted becomes the starter and a decent veteran backup is needed. That is the definition of an insurance plan, you have insurance just in case something happens.
I don't know why you are getting so offended that I keep calling him an expensive insurance plan. It's what he is...even in the unlikely scenario that he starts for the whole year and goes into next year as the starter. He is the insurance plan until Trubisky takes over.
Glennon is in fact an insurance plan. The part we won't yet agree upon is that he is an expensive one. If all he winds up being is a backup caliber quarterback then yes you are correct in labeling him an expensive insurance plan. If he winds up proving to be a starting caliber quarterback then for fucks sake he is not an expensive insurance plan. Or do you have some problem with potentially having two competent quarterbacks for once in our miserable Bears fan lives?
