View Full Version : Sirius NFL Radio: Plummer for Moss discussion

Couldn't believe it. This morning I was listening to Sirius NFL Radio, and they thought it was more likely that Plummer would be traded for Moss than it was for him to go to the Texans or the Jags (ties w/ former Arizona St. coach there). By the time they were finished discussing it, I was almost convinced - but I still don't believe it. They thought Shanahan would be good at handling Moss - and you can't argue the fact that the Raiders need some experience at QB. Having Walker, Marshall, Moss and Scheffler would give Cutler lots of options. Still don't believe it.

Why? It would be like Gruden against Callahan or Shanahan against Elway in OT. That game sucked because Reeves blew it.

Those people are morons...we are not going to pick up a 10m contract...they are just filling air space. Besides, we don't trade with Oakland anyway. A three way trade for Porter would make more sense.

You need an abritrator to make any deal with the Crypt Keeper.

Lets break this down...

Its only recent, but one of the strengths of the Denver team is its WR corp. Why would we want to bring a talented, yet very troubled WR?

Why would Denver let a QB, that knows the playbook, goto a division rival?

Why would Oakland want to give up their only offensive playmaker?

Why would Al Davis, known for his love on long passes, take a QB that doesnt have a strong arm?

This rumoured trade makes so little sense on so many levels. Factor into all that the fact that Denver and Oakland have legendary dislike of each other, and I have to ask, who the hell came up with this rumor? Why does he (I assume he) still have a job? I could come up with more believable crap than this.

People conveniently forget that Plummer had a good 2005 season, which was his first (and only) full season in Denver. I'm not sure what was going on with Plummer during 2006, but he apparently choked with Cutler breathing down his neck. I know I'm one of the few people still on the Plummer bandwagon, but I think he can return to form. I don't want him torching the Broncos twice a year...

I would think most people from this board would be for this trade, since all I ever hear is how bad Plummer sucks. To me this is an a good trade for both parties as long as there is a conditional pick for us in case Moss quits. Raiders get rid of a headache and the Broncos get rid of someone that does not want to be here. For those that think Plummer sucks, which is most on this site, then who would you rather see him go to and mess up more than the Raiders. I like Plummer and think he can be a good player for them, but being from Minnesota and seeing Moss, I think the potential is well worth the risk. I can not see Shanny putting up with him taking plays off and not blocking down field though.

You convieniently forgot that Plummer came to Denver in 2003. He played a full slate of games in 2004 after missing several in '03...amassing 20 ints...regressing from the 7 he threw his first season in Denver in eleven games.

I don't see this happening. Why would the Raiders want Plummer? He's basically the same as Brookes. With the first rounder they'll take a qb. Plus, old man davis loves the deep ball. Which we know plummer throws horribly.

Qb's are more than their TD-INT numbers.

For all the talk of 2004 being a 'bad' year, he was still a top 10 qb by important metrics and measurements.

What's 'interesting though' is how limited our understanding of QB play is when we feel we can simply look at a set of basic numbers and derive something substantial from them.

Well, I'm a little more generous than you. I think Rod is fine for another year or two and is not embarrassing himself, but his role will be limited. Kircus I think is a perfect number 4/5 receiver who can fill in any of the spots and be backup return man.

However, I am going to laugh like hell at all of the Maners who jump off a bridge if the Broncs select a WR in the first round. Gotta have that big time number 3 like you say. It is the deepest postition in the draft after a couple of years of drought. And Shanahan is going to give the Golden Boy some tools.

RunSilentRunDeep
01-25-2007, 06:35 PM
And Shanahan is going to give the Golden Boy some tools.

Agree with you on that. Obviously, the DL needs help, but if a WR is the best player available in round 1 or 2, I wouldn't argue the pick. Although D-Jack (if he gets cut, see below) or Kevin Curtis (cheaper) might be the safer play.

From ESPN PFW Whispers:

"Even though Seahawks WR Darrell Jackson enjoyed a strong season, leading the team in receptions and touchdowns, we hear it's far from a slam dunk that the team will retain his services in '07 after obtaining both Deion Branch and Nate Burleson last offseason and benefiting from the improved play of underrated D.J. Hackett. "

We don't even have to debate the relative merits & demerits of Plummer to find a whole list of reasons why this proposed deal is pure 100% `offseason smack talk:

1) The year Moss went to the fade Shanny hinted that he didn't want him due to his character issues
2) Moss is coming off a down year
3) Shanny hates Al Davis with a passion and the feeling is entirely mutual
4) Shanny would definitely trade Plummer out of the division,
5) in fact he would probably want him out of the conference if possible

..that's just off the top of my head - give me a few minutes I can probably come up with some more..

Who cares about plummer going to Oakland - heck that's 2 games vs. an opposing team with at least a total of 6 takeaways/year. Furthermore, the playbook he ran was similar to an elementary school spelling book, nothing like that of the one cutler will be using. It's a win - win in my opinion.

Fight as in soldering on amidst new insightful data; hanging on to the belief that INTs are indicative of success.

Vick posted 20-13(60% tds) this year, and yet he was a detriment to his team in many respects.

Mcnair(57%) and Romo(59%) threw worse, TD-INT-wise, but were beneficial to their team's successes.

I think he just means that if Alex Smith can beat us in our own stadium with the playoffs on the line then that's basically the bar for what our qb can keep apace with.

Plummer is, to any intelligent fan, better than alex smith.

So basically we need to find guys worse than alex smith to qb teams in the AFCW.

But seriously. I doubt Shanahan is awake at nights sweating at the thought of Plummer being on the other side of the field. There's not another coach in this league, outside Shanahan and Kubiak, who are going to get what Shanahan and Kubiak got out of the guy.

It's like everybody says about him: he is what he is...

...and that's a quarterback who can't play well when forced to stay within the pocket.


I personally would love to see Plummer stay in the AFC West.

I appreciate what Shanahan and Kubiak were collectively able to milk out of him, and the fact that we won some regular season games with the guy. I wish him well with another team, but more than that, I wish we played against him every single week.

It's news to me that Indy had a good defense during our playoff games against them.

This is a cute game and all Liddy, but it doesn't help your case at all that Plummer triple pumped an interception on the money roll-out that Cutler has turned into his bread and butter. I mean, come on here man... Shanahan rushed out a concussed rookie to get the guy off the field. Think about that for a second. Shanahan thought a concussed rookie gave us our best shot to win that game. And the sad thing is, he was right!

What's your point here, anyway? Are you trying to make the case that our rookie wasn't nearly as effective as Plummer was/would have been? Or are you just set on being difficult? Cutler even ranks higher than Plummer in your vaunted DVOA rankings by a six full spots (where Plummer finds himself behind the likes of David Carr, Byron Leftwich and Joey Harrington). What's the point here?

Hey there little johnny boy, your faux-ignorance to the point is really adorable and snuggly and stuff, truly, but I think in your heart o' hearts you have a good idea of what my point is. If you're truly baffled then I understand better some of the countless peculiar stances you've made here.

The pick 6 was the turning point in the game; a game which all denver had to do was beat an atrocious 49er squad IN DENVER. One of the biggest choke-jobs this franchise has probably ever witnessed. Hell, at least when you lose in the playoffs it's to a quality opponent.

And if you really think we should always "think about" what shanahan does and genuflect accordingly, well, that sorta defeats the whole point of a message board. I mean, that'd sorta render all your time here useless, no?

I actually wouldn't mind this deal. Moss seems to have his head on straight now from what I understand, and going to a competent team may be exactly what he needs to revitalize his game.

I agree... I use to put T.O. and Moss in the same boat, but I kind of believe that playing for the Raiders humbled Moss a bit. Plummer is still a gun, but the raiders aren't going to get that much better in a year, even with Plummer. With Rod on the decline, Moss and Walker could be a pretty lethal duo... probably the best, if not, one of the best, in football. I agree, it's doubtful, But I'd love to see it!!!

Say what? I'm not even going to get you to respond to the fact that Plummer's DVOA ranking is lower than Cutler's and the fact that Shanahan thought a concussed rookie gave us a better chance to win than your hero?

Bah. What good are you?

01-26-2007, 11:39 AM
Also, I wanted to point out that calling that interception the turning point in the game where we tied in regulation is kind of hollow. Yeah, it didn't do us any favors, but the Tatum Bell fumble was the real turning point in the game, along with Brandon Marshall's fumble on the subsequent drive. Despite those turnovers, Cutler came back with a 10 play, 80 yard drive where he threw on 7 of the 10 plays to tie the game. The thought of Plummer executing that kind of drive... ::)

So, no, I don't think you can pin the SF game on Cutler no matter how badly you want to. He's hardly the reason we lost that game.

Pick six was the turning point. And you are also right about "boneheaded", but I agree with TJ that the boneheaded decision was caused by the concussion. And I'll allow for the pick six in his first start, too - typical rookie mistake. Now, anyone in their right mind would have to admit that Cutler needs to throw many, many, many more INTs to reach Jake's perfected level of bonehead decisions. You would be hard pressed to find anyone that isn't a Jake-homer that thinks the future is worse with Cutler than Jake. Sames goes for the decision to put Cutler in. If you want to dwell on what could have been vs. the 49ers, we needed a healthy Lepsis and a Foster with a bus ticket out of town. End of story.

But seriously. I doubt Shanahan is awake at nights sweating at the thought of Plummer being on the other side of the field. There's not another coach in this league, outside Shanahan and Kubiak, who are going to get what Shanahan and Kubiak got out of the guy.

It's like everybody says about him: he is what he is...

...and that's a quarterback who can't play well when forced to stay within the pocket.

Couldn't believe it. This morning I was listening to Sirius NFL Radio, and they thought it was more likely that Plummer would be traded for Moss than it was for him to go to the Texans or the Jags (ties w/ former Arizona St. coach there). By the time they were finished discussing it, I was almost convinced - but I still don't believe it. They thought Shanahan would be good at handling Moss - and you can't argue the fact that the Raiders need some experience at QB. Having Walker, Marshall, Moss and Scheffler would give Cutler lots of options. Still don't believe it.

Moss would have to block in order to play here which he has NEVER done yet!

I knew we were going to have trouble stopping Gore when I did not see 56 on the field.

Also as far as turning points I believe that the hit that knocked Cutler out of the game & let our stellar BU back in was the turning point.

If Cutler stays in that game a full day he has a career day. He was slinging the ball. Unlike our 0.00 QB rated BU. Even Concussed he came back after the pic 6 & had a gutsy 2nd half that over shadowed the 10 year vet.

True. Moss played his ass off in Minnesota. That last year with the Vikings, he was on pace to tie or break all of Jerry Rice's records...Except, you know, the Super Bowl Rings. I liked the guy...

You can repeat that all you want but it still won't come true. When he was pro bowling annually and Minnesota had a few good runs Moss still didn't block for consistently. He single handedly ruined many a running play and screen pass with his "only when I feel like it" blocking. He's a first rate ass clown who has shown so little concern for the game that he's let his skills diminish to that of a mediocre player. He's not worth Plummer, and thats saying something.
