Plus I have been here all year long. I have not been hiding.
Jake Plummer has done multiple STUPID STUPID things in Denver. The only difference is that Portis, Sharpe, and Smith get him out of the doghouse week in and week out.
AND HIS PRESENCE IN DENVER HAS MADE NO DIFFERENCE.
Stupid. Yeah, whoop T Do. Brian Griese looked like an ALL-PRO in Denver.
Hey I know lets have ANOTHER thread about Jake Plummer on this message board
Jake Plummer was here for 6 years. All I heard for 6 years was that Arizona needs to get guys on the team to be competitive. WELL, THAT IS WHY LASSITER, BOSTON, PLUMMER, CENTERS, ANEAS WILLIAMS, SIMEON RICE, WHERE ALL HERE ...TO F'N WIN!
They didn't and got rightfully fired. Jake the Fake IS NOT a franchise QB. He is a pawn in Denvers gameplan. Jake's job is to play QB, give the ball to his stars, and not be stupid.
I STILL DON'T WANT JAKE. I DON'T THINK HE IS A BIG PART OF THE DENVER OFFENSE. AND I AM TIRED OF HAVEING TO SAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT PLUMMER BLOWS!
So the next time somebody is looking for anti-plummer statements then go find this post cause I am tired of constantly saying he stinks.
The only thing that stinks is the total BS in Muffins reply.Plummwe did what he had to do in Denver and it worked out.He sure had a better year that Blake.Blake wasn`t even a decent caretaker QB this year.You are entitled to your opinion but i think you are full of crap.

Originally posted by SunCardfan I think that is one of the reasons too... I think he probably studies a lot more in Denver than he ever did in AZ
Jurecki just stated that same thing right before his show was over today. He said that Kubiak & Shanahan met w/ Jake every day for several hours going over the offense play book during the off season.
He said that he never saw Jake @ Cards HQ during the offseason. I put the blame for this on the staff. They should have strongly suggested to him to do so.

Why the hatin' on the City of Denver and the State of Colorado?
Have you ever spent any time here? It's heaven on earth, my man. We have more sunny days per year then San Diego and we still manage to get in four distinct seasons, we have the largest mountain range North America 1.5 hours away, we have a major metropolis with a fantastic arts center, a great museum, kick ass night life, five pro sporting teams (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, Lacrosse), and we don't have to put up with East Coast attitude or West Coast snobs.
The only down side is Denver is chock-full of Bronco fans.

My biggest problem with Denver is that it is marketed as "the Mile High City", which it technically is, but they want you to think that it is up in the Rocky Mountains or something. Wrong! Denver is in a "desert". It's just in a high, cold desert.
jfk: remember in the offseason when Jake went to Denver and started spouting off about how he could not wait until he could get in there and start working all of the time in the offseason? Someone with the Cardinals was on the radio a few weeks later (not sure if it was graves or who said it)and said something to the effect that: we have the same facilities, training, etc. available to players - but some players (i.e. Jake) have chosen not to participate...
Jake stayed away from offseason stuff alot when he was in AZ (from what I understand) - although he lived here and was in town..he goes to Denver - and immediately changes his attitude..
Yea..cannot compare the teachers/coaches...but sounds like someone had an attitude adjustment. I guess in defense of Jake..perhaps he thought going in to be trained by a member of the Cardinals staff was a waste of time in the offseason.but then again - jeep Chryst was brought back because of his early success with jake - so you would have to think that Jake was in favor of that..
Originally posted by Bobcat What game were you watching last night??? He hit his recievers on the run, placed the ball where only the reciever could catch it even on the interception.
Allan
how in the world can a ball placed so only the receiver can catch it end up being intercepted and returned for a TD?
Originally posted by Cardinal Bob And therein, Bobcat, lies the rub. None of the Anti-Plummer League will admit that may have been wrong about Jake. It's not just jkf296, it's the whole lot of 'em!
So if I ask you to call heads or tails 7 times, and 6 of those times you're wrong, that means you were right about the coin overall?
This is the first year in his career where he'll finish in the top 10 in passer rating.
A lot of people (including Shanahan) thought Griese was for real after his great year in his 2nd year as the Bronco starter. It remains to be seen if Jake is for not. He's clearly improved in Denver, that's all we know so far.

So a 4 year 29.7 million contract isn't enough they have to require him to be there? That's the norm in the NFL, it took 6 years of failure for Jake before he apparently finally decided he needed to put in the extra effort.
Yes some of that is the fault of the coaches, but some of it is on Jake too, it's not like he would have been refused if he'd wanted to make that effort, he just apparently chose not to.

It's false advertising.
First off, I can't believe I have to defend the city of Denver.
Second, as you pointed out, the city IS at 5280 feet of elevation from sealevel (I'm currently sitting at about 5230, only a block or so from the step in front of the capital that has an exact 5280 marker). So, I don't see how the moniker "Mile High City" is misleading.
Thirdly, just because you claim Denver is in a desert doesn't make it so. A desert is defined by 10 inches of precipitation or less per year. I don't know what Denver's average precip is, but we get more then that in some months.

The real irony is all the years of saying Jake's problems were due to playing from behind so much. and yet in his best year ever in the NFL you get the following numbers
when ahead 6 TD 5 int rating of 82.5
when behind 3 to 0 int rating of 100.6
when tied 6 td 2 int rating of 101.6
More than half his attempts are when ahead this year too so it's not like the number is just from low attempts.
Jake is playing better because he's on a better team with a better coach, things we didn't have here and wouldn't have had for him had he been here this year. Jake surrounded by good players has done quite well, but he was never able to make the team around him better when he was here. When you're paid as much as he was, you're expected to do that, even if it means attending offseason workouts and studying film now and then.
And while I'm on a roll, it's ironic if you look at the split stat numbers off ESPN, the 2 things that have lead to the most success for Jake in Denver appear to be completely counter to what everyone wanted when he was here.
jake has 7 TD's 0 ints and a rating of 107.3 with 0 or 1 WR on the field. Jake has 8 td 0 INT and a rating of 126.7 with the backs split.
When he was here everyone wanted to go 3 wides, roll him out all the time, one RB etc etc. What is apparent in Denver is he's most effective with basically a running formation where there's only 1-2 options to read. The more WR's you put on the field, the more reads he has to make, and the more his numbers go down.
Wonder why he looked so good last night, because they were in 2 or 3 TE formations most of the night.

The entire west is basically a desert, except for coastal regions.
