The Facts:
Glennon lost a passionate supporter last week when the Bucs dismissed Greg Schiano as head coach. But Schiano’s successor, Lovie Smith, has watched Glennon’s play extensively on film and tossed a few compliments Glennon’s way Monday when he was introduced as the 10th head coach in franchise history. “Strong arm and he had great pocket presence, to me,’’ Smith said. “Mike won’t win a 40-yard sprint, but he can move around in the pocket good enough and make smart decisions, and there’s nothing like having that experience that he was able to get his rookie year.’’

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Schiano played an instrumental role in selecting Glennon in the third round of the 2013 draft and the former North Carolina State standout threw 19 touchdown passes and only nine interceptions as a rookie, starting 13 games for an injury-ravaged attack that ranked last in the league. Now, Glennon’s future in Tampa could be determined by how much confidence he instills in new offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford, who built a reputation as a quarterback guru in 11 seasons at the University of California, where he molded Aaron Rodgers. There are options; the Bucs could pursue a veteran quarterback in free agency or turn toward the draft, where Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel or Blake Bortles of the University of Central Florida could be available with the seventh overall pick.
