So whats the talk in denver about Shannahan's decision to axe Plummer in favor of Cutler? I think it was a stupid idea.
Most people are happy. Jake has just looked so bad this season. The only people with worse passer ratings than him were rookies. Cutler didn't look very good in his first game, but he really didn't look any worse than Plummer had in his last several outings -- and he's only going to get better, whereas Plummer only seems to be going downhill. Cutler looked pretty decent in the Chargers game (17/30, 188 yds, 2TD, 0 INT, 97.6 rating). He also looked a lot more comfortable than he did last game, throwing the ball away when it was appropriate and making some incredibly sharp passes.
Basically, most people here feel like Plummer wouldn't have done any better these last couple of games, and that getting Cutler this experience is the best thing for us in the long run. Our team has a lot of other problems that can't be rectified by just a QB.
