The Bears and Browns are still very bad with their new QBs

And we haven’t even gotten to the first Jets preseason game!

The Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns both made quarterback acquisitions this offseason in order to make themselves less bad at football, but we learned Thursday that bringing in players with a clean slate does not mean these teams will be any good. Nor does it mean the quarterbacks they brought in are any good.

First, there was Mike Glennon, who had a fine enough resume and signed a three-year deal with Chicago before the team drafted Mitch Trubisky second overall — to everyone’s surprise.

Glennon’s debut went very badly.

Let’s start with this: The quarterback’s second pass, a pick-six, was between two of his own receivers and closer to two Denver defenders.

It didn’t get better from there, and by the end of his night, Glennon went 2-of-8 for 20 yards and a pick for a passer rating of 0.00.

Making matters worse, Trubisky completed his first pass, a 1-yard pass, and had a rating of 79 at that point before completing the next three passes for 24 yards, capping a drive with a touchdown toss. The rookie completed his first 10 passes.

I don’t wanna get ahead of myself here but Mitch Trubisky is the greatest QB in NFL history

Mike Glennon is being paid actual US dollars to play quarterback in the NFL. Never let anyone tell you you aren't good enough.

Just a friendly reminder that Mike Glennon hits the 2017 cap for $14M, the same amount as this gentleman pic.twitter.com/K9C0ofqVDZ

Mike Glennon probably could have thrown it to Kendall Wright on that pick 6 but what do I know pic.twitter.com/cxgNRRJoEy

Over in Cleveland, things were nearly as bad for former ASU QB Brock Osweiler, who was acquiring from the Houston Texans after he inked a $72 million deal a year ago and struggled in his first year under the deal.

Osweiler went 6-of-14 for 42 yards without a touchdown pass or a pick on Thursday against the Saints.

His first play didn’t sit well with fans.

ABC Producer: This game needs more Brock Osweiler montages.

Brock Osweiler is now at 3.0 YPA and a 43% completion percentage. Mostly vs. backups of New Orleans, a perennially awful defensive unit.

@KesslerBrownsQB looks better in 3 plays then @bosweiler17 did in a whole quater #NOvsCLE

Yes, it’s the preseason. But these developments are certainly not going to make suffering Bears and Browns fans feel confident.

I'm not gonna make sweeping judgments on the preseason. I'm not gonna make sweeping judgments on the preseason. I'm not gonna make sweeping
