What happened? My opinion of Jake Plummer has always been that he is a "No Talent A$$ Clown".
He's put 2 solid games in a row and will surely post another one against New Orleans next week. Up until this year, Plummer had tossed 121 interceptions and only 105 TDs.
Is Jake Plummer turning the corner on his career? Do I have to stop calling him a "No Talent A$$ Clown"?
RIDERS OF THE STORM QB Vick RB Adrian Peterson, Matt Forte, Lesean McCoy WR Brandon Marshall, Kenny Britt TE ? DEF Flavor of the Week K ?

Sun 11/21 at New Orleans 1:00 pm
Sun 11/28 Oakland 8:30 pm
Sun 12/5 at San Diego 4:05 pm
Sun 12/12 Miami 4:05 pm
Sun 12/19 at Kansas City 4:15 pm
Sat 12/25 at Tennessee 8:30 pm
Sun 1/2 Indianapolis 4:15 pm
Three things help him.
1. Playing from Behind.
2. Droughns making defenses stack the box.
3. Rod Smith's uncanny ability to be open despite lack of top WR skills.

What would it take to get Plummer? The guy has McNabb as his starter. He also has Portis, Faulk, Suggs, Plaxico, DJax, Lelie, Fitzgerlald. Only thing that's crappy is his D - the Bungles.
I have Brooks, but barely any depth behind my RBs and WRs.
QB: Brooks, Rattay
RB: Alexander, Brown, Henry, ATrain, M. Moore
WR: Ward, S. Moss, Clayton, Stallworthless, A. Davis
TE: McMichael
K: J. Brown
DEF: Bills, Falcons

Thank you for that, work4beerz! I just laughed my ass off and it was a really big ass so that made for some considerable weight loss. If you're ever in Rumford, Maine, I owe ya a beer.
There are other WRs who share Smith's uncanny ability, but they're generally third down receivers who get covered by linebackers. For Smith to be open so often is just ... uncanny.
Just to set the record straight, I've never considered Plummer a "no talent a$$-clown" but always an excellent passer who was trapped for years on a bad team. Like Bledsoe, Plummer has a lot of skill but can't carry a team on his back. Give him time to throw and some decent receivers and he's scary-good. Take away his leading receiver (like Buffalo did in getting rid of Price) and put him behind a line that can't pass block (did anyone say ... like Buffalo's?) and Plummer would look as much like an a$$-clown as Bledsoe does this year.
So Plummer is great in the right situation, but he doesn't have the mobility (Culpepper) or the quick release (Bulger) to be good in any system in the league. Plummer is a Spacely Sprocket and you wouldn't want to use him if you need a Cogswell Cog.
not to toot my own horn here, but I had a good feeling about Plummer this year. I wanted to draft him as my back up but someone else drafted my first wish qb, pennington. So I loaded up on receivers and drafted plummer late with leftwich as his back up.
when denver traded portis for bailey, I took that to mean that they meant business this year. look at the teams that made it to the super bowl in recent years... the pats, the panthers, tampa, the pats, the ravens,... they all had good defenses and okay offenses.
denver was going to rely on plummer from the get go.
that being said, he is much better at home than on the road.
(and my receivers holt and ward have been inconsistent so I'm second to last in my league.)
