Mike Glennonas the team's quarterback of the future, even if Josh McCown starts in 2014, reports the
Tampa Tribune.
"The three things — and [coach Lovie [Smith] and I were in complete agreement on this — are toughness, intelligence and accuracy," general manager Jason Licht said on Sirius XM NFL Radio. "And then arm strength is a distant fourth.
“Mike showed during this process that he has those three things and he scored very high on those three things. Also, he’s an unassuming type of guy but guys around the building really look up to him and really follow him. So that’s what it came down to."
Glennon threw 19 touchdown passes and nine interceptions as a rookie.
