Was he the talented, fully potential quarter we all thought but just played for a bad team (Cardinals)? He is 3-0 so far. Is Jake the Snake the real deal?

Eh, I'd say a good qb who played for a crappy team with the potential to be a very good qb in the right system. He might be ruined though having played in football hell for so long.

WTF?? I thought it's a general concensus that QBs are not the one to win a game anymore..

I dont think hes "awesome" but I do think hes a good/above average QB. He will do well in Denver.

What do you mean by overrated? No one really thought he was ever very good...now that he has a few games that he's won and hes thrown a few TDs everyone thinks hes alright.

I sure hope he becomes good but for now I still think hes not very accurate and sometimes makes bad decisions...he'll probably end up being above average but not great...kind of like a fiedler or something.

He's better than Grease-pit.

With that said it's obvious there's better, but the fact that he can run around makes him somewhat of a challenge when your trying to keep an eye on guys like Sharpe, Lilile or Smith.

I think all in all the Broncos are an amazingly athletic team in every position, and combined with Plummers 4 years in the NFL, your bound to put something together.

Plummer is never going to be a stand out QB, without the Broncos he'd be doing exactly what he did in AZ right now.

PS: I think his major downfall is going to be those overthrows I keep seeing from him, at some points it's like watching Quincy Carter playing last year.

I'll give him a couple more games before I come to a conclusion on Jake, but so far, he's head and shoulders better than Griese.
