NAUgrad Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 No specifics yet, but at least Plummer, Lynch, Nalen, and R. Smith are trying to help out. Here's the link. http://www.denverbroncos.com/page.php?id=334&storyID=3923 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quit screwing up drives at the least oportune time. Stop flipping off the fans. Anything like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicCEO Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 A real Plummer fan, huh, Atomic? 709219[/snapback] I tolerated the Plummer experiment for a few years, but I think it's obvious now that he only puts up good numbers in losing efforts. When we need him to be good, he isn't. He's a loser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vote Quimby2 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Who would you have replace him? Any free agents out there or do you go through the draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Who would you have replace him? Any free agents out there or do you go through the draft? 709835[/snapback] Good question. Who's potentially available? Garcia? Couch? Kitna? None of these guys are permanent solutions, but I think any of them may be better than Plummer as we try to develop a younger guy though the draft or a trade. I dunno. Am I overlooking anyone (and not Warner or Testy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Are there any good backups out there that might want a starting gig, homers? The two that came to mind first were Favre's backup whatsisname, and Tuiososopo who keeps getting pushed down the chart in Oakland even though he's pretty good.

Vote Quimby2 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 What about Brad Johnson? I think Gerrard (backup to Leftwich may be a FA). Fiedler is available too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Brad Johnson. Don't know much about Garrard though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skilly Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Denver will be the ultimate deja-vu team with Plummer. They will go 9-7 or 10-6 every year and never getting a home field playoff game. The only way to overcome this obstacle is to load up on defense. The defense has to create more turnovers than Plummer will give away. I don't know how many draft picks they have this year, but if I were them I would pick D line every pick and hope you find at least 2 good starters.

I figure they pick up a fullback, and now a couple of o-linemen and spend the entire draft on D. They need D lineman bad, but also need another linebacker, CB, and ball hawking safety. All of that could be addressed in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 They had a guy named Quinn, who has bounced around on taxi squads and as a 3rd string QB in the NFL who played some in this last preseason for Denver. He was on the Texan's roster for a couple years.... I swear, this guy is good. I actually went to the Broncos site to talk him up once, and got flamed for it. He's a big guy, a pocket passer. He was a heck of a lot better than Mauck was. I've never believed in Plummer. He's always been erratic, and always will be. I don't see any available QB's out there who could just step in though. I think Broncs fans are stuck with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
