I would think S.D. is getting warm. No mention there.

Clockwork Orange · 06-08-2006, 08:17 PM

Big whoop. He was #1 on the hot seat last year too and he responded pretty well.

But hey, the media loves a QB controversy.

What a great photo. Such a spaz.

I don't think Phillip Rivers has anything to worry about for a few years.

Somehow that doesn't stop you from being in love with him.

Their frst two should be the last two on that list. Using the players they listed, my list would look something like this:

1. Kurt Warner
2. Rex Grossman
3. Mark Brunell
4. Billy Volek
5. David Carr
6. Byron Leftwich
7. Aaron Brooks
8. Jake Plummer

In order to truly be on the hotseat, you have to have someone waiting in the wings. That really isn't the case with the last four (yes, that includes Plummer).

"..there are whispers that the team isn't thrilled with him and that first-round pick Jay Cutler is the future of the franchise."

I love this quote. One of the reasons that you draft QB's in the first round for the first time in 10+ years is to make him your future franchise QB.

1 of 9
Jake Plummer
Broncos

He had a strong 2005 season but couldn't get the job done against the Steelers in the AFC Championship Game. Although he's clearly No. 1, there are whispers that the team isn't thrilled with him and that first-round pick Jay Cutler is the future of the franchise. If the Broncos struggle, they may turn to the future sooner than expected.

What a crock. I have not seen anything that says the team isn't thrilled with jake. I have lost all respect now for SI. Yes Jay is the future but plummer is not on the hot seat this year.

So the Chiefs are unhappy with Green and Croyle is going to start this year?

Which Shanny says likely will take 2-3 years to develop.

The difference there is that Cutler is expected to be a starting QB in this league while Frayle is expected to make a career out of holding a clipboard if he can manage to do that without injuring himself.

And he says hes not here that much. His green light is on more than Motel 6.

From the article: "Assuming he can stay healthy, Grossman will be the Bears' starter, but he'll have to hold off Brian Griese and, to a lesser extent, Kyle Orton."

He must really be feeling the heat. Griese has such a hot hand. And his arm is unbelievable.

I would have to agree. If Cutler isn't ready to play ala Aaron Rodgers then Plummer will not be on the hot seat same goes for Warner and Volek. Shouldn't that Peyton guy be on the list? I mean how many times can the guy buckle under pressure and not advance to the big game. Let Jim Sorgi finally have his shot.

He has a freebie this year imo. Rivers is maybe on the LEAST hot seat in the league ....

Jesterhole · 06-08-2006, 08:55 PM

Depends on how fast Cutler picks up the offense. I don't see Shanahan being afraid to put him in if he thinks he can run the plays.

RhymesayersDU · 06-08-2006, 09:01 PM

I would actually argue that there is a hot seat in San Diego, it just isn't Rivers'. Whoever made the decision to trade Brees, whether it be the coach, gm, etc could potentially be on the hot seat if Rivers doesn't pan out. Perhaps there will be a free pass for this season all around, but if Rivers doesn't pan out next year, heads could roll for trading Brees.

JPEZ · 06-08-2006, 09:08 PM

Jake sucks! He's been nothing but trouble.
As long as Jake is "pulling the trigger" we will never win the Super Bowl!

Not in the FIRST ROUND. When you draft a QB in the first round, you're sending a message to your current starter.

Green is 36.
