So rather than be traded to a team that he could actually start on and possibly have some success, Jake Plummer is retiring. But what else should we expect from him. Jake has been a cry baby since he became a NFL player. Jake should grow up. If he wants to retire, then do it. My bet is that he will retire and will comeback either right before the season or the following season.
The other issue with Jake is that he not a good quaterback. He has never been a good quaterback. He has had moments of glory, but he makes so many bad desicions. Last season it was reported that the Broncos did so many rollouts with Jake throwing the ball because Jake can't read defenses and when he rolled out it would break the defense down so that Jake could hit a wide reciever. If that is true and I honestly think it is, why has he started so many games? Maybe he has the physical skills and just isn't smart enough to be a quaterback. His own brother said that Jake doesn't want to go to a new team because he doesn't learn a new system.
Really, what ever Jake wants to do he should just do it. Either way I am happy, he is no longer a 200 Lbs weight around the neck of the Broncos.
Jake has been over rated since he came into the league. People compaired him to Montana, Marino and Elway when he came to the Cardinals. He was going to be the next great QB. I guess that is why those people aren't running football teams.
