He still throws a hard ball to catch. He puts a lot of pressure on his WRs. Almost all of his passes are a little behind, a little ahead, a little high or a little low. If the WRs keep making the catches Jake is effective. That being said Props to Charlie Adams. he did well.

Good take. I thought he played pretty damn well today. He played smart, he was finding guys, etc. He didn't force things, and I know it frustrates people when it's 3rd & 10 and we make a 5 yard pass, but he took what the D gave him, and didn't force things downfield. Only 1 INT on a tipped ball.
The fumble was ****ty, as it basically killed that drive, and missing the wide open Adams wasn't good, but overall I thought he played well today.

It wasn't even a tipped ball the hit the Dlineman in the helmet!! LOL
That's the problem with a 6' QB.

Agreed on Charlie Adams. As much as I am disappointed in what seems to be Darius Watts' regression, much of it is offset by the fact that we finally seem to have a viable Number 3 wideout threat in Adams. He seems to get open, and catch the balls that are thrown to him. And you have to think he will only get better as the season goes - what does he have, eight career receptions prior to this year?
I mean, he's not Travis McGriff - but who is?

That is so true but the dog needs to be able to see over the line to throw the ball.... It doesn't help that this dog also has a somewhat of a sidearm deliver.

I got Jakes autograph tonight & I thought I was looking down on him & I am only 5"11.
That said the Oline was getting beat all day & he had to throw quickly. I thought he did well, wish we ran more motion moving the FB & HB into & out of slot, keeps the defense off guard a bit & tends to show their play calls early.
I don't like the 2 TE set with out motion. we cannot beat strong Dlines straight up.

Yes, but can your dick blitz off the edge and cover the tight end?
I watched the game and I thought Plummer played well. The passing game looked a bit dumbed down (alot of short routes and quick passes), but Plummer did a fine job without much of a running game.

I'm still wondering where the designed roll outs and play action bootlegs are. Just about every single passing play the Broncos have run this season has been from the pocket where it's well known and statistically proven that Plummer is far less effective.
I can't understand for the life of me why they aren't playing to their strengths but it might have a little something to do with the offensive struggles we've seen the first two weeks. Just a thought.

I think perhaps part of it is that we havent established the run really in either game, so the coaches may be thinking that they want to use that play when it has a better chance of being successful. If no one is going to bite, it wont get us too much.

I want to hear from the Plummer haters about their thoughts of the game.
I'm not a Plummer fan per se, I don't think he's going to lead us to the superbowl by any means, but I thought he managed the game well, hit a high percentage of his passes, etc.
Just curious about what people thought about this game. If he plays like that every week, doesn't force things, etc, with our defense we could have a good year.

Last Sunday was by no means a stellar day for Plummer. If he plays like that every week the defense will have to play like they did in the second half against SD. His QB rating was something like 70.5. He can do better than that.

That low? Wow, I didn't know that. I know he didn't have any TD passes, but IMO he only had 3 major mistakes... The fumble, the INT, and that wide open pass to Adams which he missed. I thought he played a pretty decent game, but maybe that's because I expect worse from him.

He was 23/37 for 248 yards, 0 TDs and 1 INT.... he can...and needs to... perform at a higher level than that. IMO.

Gawd, it would be just like The Rat to save all the rollout passes and bootlegs for the KC game.

I think Plummer played really well on Sunday. He basically had no running game and was under pressure most of the game because of it. He was passing in a lot of long yardage situations which made it even more difficult. The o-line is a poor pass blocking unit in must pass situations. Jake could not boot and roll out, which is his strength, because of no running threat. He was forced to drop back and throw from the pocket, which is the weakest part of his game, and did a pretty good job of it. IMO he has improved his accuracy and decision making in the pocket. Lets face it - he is never going to be a pinpoint pocket passer. He is athletic and great on the run. But, he has improved enough in the pocket to be very effective. If the running game ever gets going I think he will have a great season.
