Mark Dominik explains drafting Mike Glennon with Josh Freeman around

When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted Mike Glennon in the 2013 NFL draft, people were confused. Josh Freeman was still the Bucs quarterback, and he was coming off a career year in some respects -- though there were plenty of "yeah buts" to go with his 4,065 passing yards, like the 54.8% completion rate, 17 interceptions and 10 fumbles. At the time, I expected him to be an insurance policy. Glennon ended up taking over for Freeman after three miserable games, and Freeman and the Bucs experienced a bitter and ugly divorce over the subsequent few weeks.
