MONTREAL — Last season, the Montreal Alouettes thought veteran Kevin Glenn would stop the carousel of quarterbacks that passed through after legend Anthony Calvillo retired in 2013.

When that didn’t work, they brought in Darian Durant from the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

But 10 games into the season, the Alouettes have the same 3-7 record they had a year ago, while the Roughriders are on fire with Glenn at quarterback.

What gives?

“It’s two totally different situations,” Durant said Wednesday. “When Kevin was here, everyone felt that he was done.

“He got traded. He was in a situation where things weren’t going well and now he’s in a more stable situation. They stabilized the offensive line, they’ve got great receivers and he’s playing well. So, I don’t look at him with any jealousy. He’s the same guy that was here last year. He’s just in a better situation, I guess.”

Glenn was traded to Winnipeg last September after losing the starting job to Rakeem Cato, who subsequently lost it to Vernon Adams. Now Adams is backing up Glenn in Regina, where the Roughriders (5-4) have gone on a three-game winning streak and are starting to look like they may be Grey Cup contenders under coach Chris Jones.
