Duke, you summed it up well! If Plummer stinks it up in Denver, he should hang his cleats up! I'd expect half the posters here would manage a couple wins at QB with that team!
I think he will do great considering he didn't have much to work with in Arizona and managed to keep his job. Jake is still mobile (he's lucky he still has legs) and that is a plus! I don't think he'll get hurt on his days off either! Griese burned some bridges in Denver on and off the field. Jake will make it work.

Plummer.....

This guy was not completely without talent in Arizona. I saw Kitna ring up some good numbers for a bad Bengals team last year, and Johnson is a fine receiver, but I don't think anyone here would say that the Bengals are stacked.

This year, with the QB's available, he is a backup only, right now. He might rip it up, but top 5 next year? Ahhh, no.

What's up with that Slow? You've been doing that a lot lately. I'm starting to get worried. :-D

I'd say that Plummer is still fantasy backup material, but he does have the potential to be a solid starter. He would be a decent pick. I am trying to figure out who to rank higher, him, Matt Hasselbeck, or Tommy Maddox. All three have a high potential for success this year, but odds are only one of them will actually live up to that potential. Let's hope I pick the right one.

The snake should be a late round, 6-8th , pickup. He could be a real sleeper, but I worry over him getting Shanahan’s complex playbook early in the year. And he may go into shock the first time one of his Rbs picks up a blitz!

I would rank both Hasselbeck and Maddox ahead of Plummer. Steelers and Hawks are both more pass oriented now and their receiving cores are both better. Hasselbeck and Maddox both have potential (and did) to turn out huge games. I don't know if I see Jake throwing a couple 350 yd 3 or 4 TD games.

I see his as more of a 10-12th rounder.

But he could bust out, he does lead the NFL in 4th quarter comebacks over the last 3 years.
