Great article Thanks. Bill Walsh loved this guy as I recall.
Yea...but Jake Plummer for average at best. Bill Walsh started to lose some of his touch in mid-late 90s.
Or Plummer spent most his career in crappy situations. Arizona and Denver post Elway/Davis isnt exactly a breeding ground for success.
who knows, maybe Joe Montana ends up a "decent" QB if he was drafted somewhere else. Dont question Walsh's eye if you werent able to see the result.
To me what really messed him up is Denver makes the AFC title game and then the next year despite Plummer in his early 30's they draft Cutler in the top 15.

Didn't read this lengthy article. Was there anything in it about his romantic thing for under-age girls? My understanding is that this under-reported aspect contributed greatly to Plummer's early exit from the NFL.

I didn't read the article, but...
I know he was dating one of the Broncos cheerleaders and the team fined him for it, but he kept openly seeing her. He was viewed as a hippie and he was very overrated, IMO.
He played in a very QB-friendly offense, but he always choked when the game was on the line. The fans didn't like him and there were always reports of other players talking out against him to the media.
His personality just didn't mesh with the NFL. Rather than dealing with the pressure of playing in the league, he preferred to drive off into the sunset in his Honda Element. He didn't need the money and no one really care that he left, so I don't blame him for leaving football.

Wonder if the following is true.
wikipedia:
On March 23, 1997 Plummer became the subject of controversy when he was accused of fondling three women at a Tempe, Arizona night club called Club Rio. The women stated to police that Plummer reached under their skirts and down their pants while dancing with them and consuming alcohol. When one of the women confronted him, he allegedly kicked her in the leg. Plummer was formally charged on May 28, 1997 with felony sexual abuse. He later struck a plea bargain and received two years probation. He was also fined $1,020 and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service
Could not find anything about him cavorting with underage women.
