Luckily the Riders have Kevin Glenn, a team couldn't have a more competent, experienced and capalbe QB in the #2 position.

I've always like Glenn and considered him an under-rated player who maybe is a "great" player that's just choked at the wrong time.

Since he went from 1st string to 2nd string a few years ago, this will be the third time he's stepped back up to the #1 slot early in the season dut to injury.

KG may have "choke" issues but he's better than any other 2nd stringer in the league by a long shot and if past performance is any indicator, I predict the Riders will be able to still have a great season (post-season TBD)

I don't think Glenn will get them to the big show.

Choke factor and all.

He's good, when he doesn't panic.

They look like they have potential for a pretty decent running game...

Correction to my earlier post: This will be the 4th season in a row that Glenn was supposed to be the 2nd stringer but became the starter in the first couple of games of the season: He stepped in for Lulay last year in BC and for Tate in Calgary both years before.

That's pretty rough considering Durant is coming back from an elbow injury. Seemed like a pretty innocent play that caused the tear.
