YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHY A RED-BLOODED AMERICAN MALE IN HIS PRIME WOULD WALK AWAY FROM FAME AND FORTUNE AS AN NFL QUARTERBACK TO PLAY HANDBALL AND HANG WITH HIS FAMILY AND HIS DOGS. DON'T YOU?

Just had read through my latest issue of SI, and came across this article on Plummer (which I definitely wasn't expecting). It's an excellent read on a guy who could still be a pretty decent NFL QB these days. Just wanted to share

I read the first page, scrolled down to the bottom, and when I saw I had 5 more pages to go I gave up... If you say it was a good article I'll take your word for it.

Like we got this guy only to have Jake say no thank you.

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.

Yeah he really must of lost something to say we should take Jake Plummer with our late first round pick over Jim Druckenmiller.

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.
