Everyone on here knows Plummer did a decent job yesterday, but the key question is WHY???
He did well because he was not put in a pressure situation. What I mean by that is - the running game was effective against quite possibly the most porous run defense in the league - thus opening up the boot and play action. Once again wait until next week against Pitt - we won't be as effective running the ball and they will not allow jake to boot. He will be forced to sit in the pocket read a defense under immense pressure. His true colors will once again emerge.
I'm not saying Jake didn't play well, because I thought he did; I'm just saying when we face another solid defense that forces him to stay in the pocket he will once again struggle.
