Plummer going back to Arizona?
Contributed by: Jim McAllister on 11/25/2006
Does Jake Plummer really want to return to the woeful Arizona Cardinals? Sportswriter Dan Bickley of The Arizona Republic reports in the November 25 edition of that fish wrap that a friend of Plummer in Arizona says that "the former Valley golden boy would likely be open to holding the clipboard in Arizona, spending the rest of his career backing up (Matt) Leinart." Can this possibly be true?
Let's take a look at the record: Jake is in his 4th year with the Broncos and although the team was 7-2 a couple of weeks ago, they have now slipped to 7-4 after two losses in 5 days. Even when winning, Jake wasn't getting much credit as the offense was usually anemic while the defense was doing most of the work. Jake has a young and anxious quarterback on the sidelines in Jay Cutler plus a lot of unhappy fans calling for his removal after the recent losses. Late yesterday Shanahan named Cutler as his starter for the upcoming Seattle game so could this be it for Jake?
It's understandable that Denverites expect a lot from their quarterbacks. I have watched a lot of guys take the snap from center, but if I had to list the number one all-time best, John Elway would have to be the man. Unfortunately, this is the perfection that Denver wants forever and it's easy to be spoiled with a guy like Elway. Why not? Those two Super Bowls were a lot of fun and although Plummer only had to replace the mediocre Brian Griese, the fans wanted him to be Elway-ish. Sorry, it just can't be that way, folks.
Jake Plummer will be 32 on December 19. He has had his share of injuries and at 6' 2" and 212 doesn't fit the mold of the modern NFL quarterback who is usually about 20 pounds heavier and 3 inches taller. In fact, I would question the 212 as he was about 185 while playing at Arizona State. His team's problems aren't entirely his fault as injuries have taken their toll on offense and defense. However, a quarterback has to please the fans and they are currently restless.
Plummer has a 40-18 record as a starter in Denver but it is a "What have you done for me lately" business. Maybe at 32 he is tired of getting beat up, both physically and mentally, and would like to return to the place of his greatest glory even if it is to the sorriest franchise in the NFL. He is a 10 year man with a ton of money, so, why not?
