in camp etc etc.
Rookie QBs go through growing pains blah blah
we have seen it.
heres why I dont like the selection.
vs ranked teams he melted down.
vs Clemson 156 yds
vs Texas AM 136.
to me Finely beats up on weaker competition
but wilts vs really good teams.
so far looks,like to me the game this year and next year
will be too big for him.
everything has to work around him in order for him
to move the chains.
he lacks swagger. hes lacks that Brett Farve Baker Mayfield
confidence.
if a QB lacks that.hes done.
I cant see him being next in line

Well he's a Bengals so I wish him loads of luck.

ok, and speaking of Rivers, Easton Stick is the QB I wanted us to draft, and camp notes say he's making the typical rookie mistakes, but also slinging some beauties.

EDIT: I don't think Glennon was given a fair shake in the NFL though. He did good when he was leading the team in TB as a Rookie, just not setting the world on fire or an exciting player, and they ended up drafting Wineston the next year anyways.
