- Jake Plummer’s highlights with the broncos from 2003-2004. Part 2 will be out soon when I am finished with it. Jake Plummer had a very mediocre first season but in 2004 Jake Plummer was off the charts. Jake Plummer set his mark with over 4,000 throwing yards in 2004 with 27 touchdowns. Jake Plummer one of my favorite Quarterbacks in Broncos history.

Hard not to like Jake Plummer. I was too young for the Elway era and came in late for the Brian Greise years. So the Jake Plummer teams were my first exposure as a young fan to my Broncos being "good"
Count yourself lucky you missed Brian Griese! He jacked T.D. twice by throwing him the ball with the defender in perfect position to wipe him out. No time to catch, just touch BAM!
Same here brother started watching in early 2000s, when greise was failing. Jake plummer came in and was so exciting to watch. Best bootlegger I've seen
Griese's last season was my first season being old enough to really get into football. Plummer was also my intro to Denver being good.
Brian Griese, Bubby Brister & Gus Frerotte years were rough for sure hahaha
Mmm…no, it’s actually quite easy to not like this insanely overrated hack.
This dude was Elite tbh
He was the reason why I become a Broncos fan.
The King of Bootlegs
Love these Highlights
I Appreciate it
Plummer was one of the best play action QBs ever
Yes dont let Jake Plummer get outside the pocket he can throw on the run
Probably thee best, him and Montana
Love watching him roll out on a bootleg, you know something fun is about to happen.
@@holiday42020 dont forget deberg
Absolutely
It was just a heartbreak when Jake went down with that hip injury. Who knows how things might have differed if he'd stayed healthy.??-------------------------WolfSky9
I miss this Denver offense
Man. Imagine if he had plummer in his younger years. He wasted his whole career as a cardinal smh.
He only played his rookie deal there. He didn't have a super long career, since he retired after Denver.
That first pass is all-time great
really sad to look back on how close Jake Plummer was to taking us to the superbowl in 2005. Watched an interview he did and he said the only thing he would've changed in his career was leaving the cardinals on year 3 and going to denver so that they would've had a better chance on going to the superbowl. I mean the first highlight says it all! the way he could throw on the run, i forgot how good he was, imagine if he came to the broncos sooner.
please never take this down
Keep up the great work! Finally a channel that shows sole love to the Orange and Blue. But Can we get an Elway highlight??
Thank you man. I wanna make a Elway Highlights, only problem is it would take me a really long time to put it together and I have been procrastinating the thought of doing it
I was way too late for Plummer. This man had it going! This is what we need for QB right now!!
Drew Lock has everything we need now, he just needs to perform. He's the best since Manning no questions asked. We should be 10-6 at least this year.
@@flatcat4078 didn’t age well
@@flatcat4078 enormous L
He was so fast in the drop and on the run. I miss watching his style
Extremely underrated talent, and poorly utilized until Mike Shanahan got him in Denver. I forgot how strong his arm was; pretty damn accurate too down the field. Good player
I’m still pissed the sat him down for cutler
I thought I was only one. His time in Denver was totally under-rated and i loved watching him play. Wish it hadn't fizzled out the way it did, but the org was kind of a mess for a while there in the first decade of the 2000s, so it's understandable.
Plummer is my neighbor
He’s my dad’s little brother. Can I come over and say hi when I come to visit one of these days? 👀🤣🤣
@@thehengy3232 haha, of course we're just down the road.
He’s my weed dealer
theres john elway jake plummer payton manning and tim tebow
then theres kyle orton paxton lynch
Reeed 18 set!
We don't need to mention Jay Cutler
Why did the browns defender not try to put his hands up . Seems strange
When I watch Zach Wilson I see a lot of Jake Plummer if Plummer was bigger and slightly more athletic. The throwing mothing, the way he moves in the pocket. Just all so similar.
I like that comparison
@@denverbroncosarchive2263That comment didn't age well!!
@@wilnerolivier7971 😂
This comment still potential to age well lol
Lelie was a great deep threat
Man Jake the 🐍was a beast...I really hope drew lock can start running and throwing like Jake...his play actions was some of the best I've seen...💙💙💙 Let's go broncos 💯🎯 listen to recapture some of that mile high magic!!!!
And man Ashley leele was a straight beast!!!! Had his Jersey when I was growing up 💪
I miss ol' Jake the Snake
Miss the Snake
I was 10 years old in Canada. I got a Jake Plummer jersey became a fan ever since of the Broncos first jersey ever got automatically turned to that team never looked back since go Broncos.
That’s awesome! Go Broncos
🐍
This kids got some potential
Old Jake Plummer interesting QB to watch 😂😂😂
I loved Jake Plummer, & just hated it when he had to leave the game. ---------We can only hope Drew lock is as good.----------------------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o
IDGAF bronco nation knows Jake the snake was legit. I watched him beat all the QBs. Brees. Brady. Manning. Roethlisberger. Jake Plummer was prolly the best bootleg QB of all time.
Love Jake Plummer. He was so fun to watch. And I kind of forgot how great Ashlie Lelie was.
Mike Shanahan made a mistake benching Plummer in favor of Jay Cutler.
Here's to hoping Drew Lock can bring back some of this... Want that Plummer-esque dynamism going again
id say if he never got hurt they'd have a couple super bowls under his belt
That bootleg is a sight for sore eyes in '22 as a Broncos fan.
How come this guy is a beast but has such a mediocre career?
Nfl is a not just a Team Sport but an organizational one as well. Read my long post if you are really interested in why his career seems mediocre. He's far from mediocre!
A bad coach can destroy a player and theses type of things non plauers do not truly understand. I've played and coached sports for many years and I can tell you first hand that coaching plays a much bigger role in an athletes success and how they are judged in the end than is seen from the outside.
Prime example, if Dan Reeves stayed the Broncos coach John elway would never have won one championship let alone two back to back. He would be talked about as the guy who couldn't win the big one. But instead coach Shanahan came in and changed the culture. He gave elway the pieces to become a champion, plain and simple. But in a nutshell we didn't do the same for Plummer who also was not as good as Elway so He needs more help. He needed another offensive weapon or a better offensive line as seen in the 05' championship game and he would definitely have a ring.
Whatever happened to Lele?
He asked to be traded from Denver after we signed Javon Walker and he just became a backup receiver for the falcons,49ers, and raiders. His career peaked in Denver

A shame. Had he stayed when Cutler arrived I think Lelie would’ve been so much better.
I miss Jake the snake so badly this season
This is also because we had an elite running game. No it wasn’t what we had in 97 and 98 but we ran so well jake could just pick you apart.
Man I miss the snake!
I like Plummer then would love to have him now with shannahan as coach we’d be a 10 win team with Plummer this season
Count me in as a Jake "the snake" Plummer fan! No doubt one of the Broncos better QB`s, totally straight up guy. He was exciting to watch. Above average that`s for sure.
I watched Plummers whole career, even going back to some college. Bottom line, he was a gun slinger!. He had a better winning record for the Broncos than Elway and did more for the organization than most know or can begin to understand.
Broncos football was dead after Elway retired, it was hard to watch. Plummer brought the magic back to Denver. I had season tickets during that time and I can tell you that is exactly what happened. We automatically became a contender with Plummer and that was with decent team at best. Let's not forget many of these plauers were on their last leg from the super bowl years with Elway.
The Broncos drafting was terrible during those years as well. Basically the Champ Bailey trade truly saved plummers career because we had a threat on defense as well as the O. But as I stated before beside Champ we gave Plummer very little to work with. We passed on multiple stars each year and when it came down to it Shanahan made the ultimate mistake by drafting Cutler. He fell in love with the Patrick Mahomes like Arm talent yet failed to see thats about where the comparison stopped. So he drafted him instead of building around Plummer. The Broncos passed on numerous players year after year that would have taken the team to a SB winning level.
Here are some names if you all have forgotten. Marshawn lynch, MJD, CJ2K, Desean Jaxson to name a few!!! Not to mention Randy moss in free agency lol.
Without any of those players Jake Plummer powered offenses were able to take down the patriots many times including handing Brady his first playoff loss and stopping their potential 3 peat!!!. The Broncos would go toe to toe with Manning and the Colts but usually would get knocked out by them in the playoffs due to the team just being better than the Broncos. Champ would literally shut down Harrison and Manning would just go everywhere else and the Broncos offense could not keep with the offensive juggernaut that the Colts was.
Plummer played his butt off in those games and basically in all his games. He was a winner, he had those intangibles that you just can't measure. It's truly a shame that we never got to see him play with a better offensive team. People like to point the blame on him for many of the team's losses including the 05' afc championship loss to the Steelers but go watch the game again. I was there, Plummer was being pressure by that nasty defense the whole game. They got the best of him and it's as simple as that. We were outmatched, we could not protect Plummer and they were dialing up all kinds of exotic blitzes. We were outcoached and outplayed across the board, but I always hear people just blame Plummer for that loss. Yes he had a bad game but when you look at it it only makes sense why.
One thing that no one can take away is that guy has heart. He always displayed it on and off the field as far as I cou ld see. In the end the organization screwed him and he retired because of it.
It truly would have been great to see what Plummer would have done throwing to someone like Randy Moss!!! and to think he could have done that while handing off to a number of top back like MID, cj2k or Beast mode.
The Broncos organization literally blew it!
They did Jake Plummer dirty!!!
Another thing I wanted to say is that Jake Plummer would absolutely be a Top QB in today's offensive geared Nfl.
I feel this way about quite a few of the older players because despite what anyone thinks the QBs /Wrs are far more protected now. The NFL is all about scoring these days and its easy to see. The league changed and many people fail to point that out when comparing modern era qbs to prior eras.
Say what you want but the farther you go back with the NFL the rougher it's been for Qbs all the way back to the invention of the forward pass.
It's hard for people who haven't lived through or understand the difference in multiple eras to see this very important point! This is also alot deeper than the NFL being rougher on qbs and not being focused so much on scoring and such but I digress.
Jake the Snake would tear it up in today's game. I believe he mentioned something along these line in one of his last interviews about his Broncos career.
When anyone tries to talk about how much better plauers like Mahomes supposedly is thsn the past greats be very quick to remind them that it was a different game then. Mahomes is definitely not throwing 50tds playing against players like Lawrence Taylor and Reggie white when they can freely take two steps then hit Mahomes helmet first in the chest then like drive him with all 300lbs+ with some players directly into the ground like a pancake. I think Phil Simms called it the dead whale or something like that.
There is a reason that many of the players back then had shorter than what seems to be normal careers. I believe many players like Montana, Young, Elway asnd such would easily have longer careers in today's game.
An interesting case is tom Brady and now Drew brees. They both now have played in two eras really. They both came in when the league was still more of a physical game and they both played all the way into today game which emphasises finess.
If anyone here thinks Brady is playing for 20+ years back in the day you are highly mistaken. Also... If you think hes tougher than than Elway you are just as clueless.
@@flatcat4078 Hey man, most of what you said is solid, but give Brady credit where it's due. If you don't think he's Elway-tier tough due to his (literally unmatched) longevity, just look back to before the QB protection rules, at some of the absolutely BONE CRUSHING hits he took early in his career, and bounced back up from. He's also the 2nd most sacked quarterback in history, and will likely become #1 after this year. I don't think Brady started out with elite TALENT, and rather grew into it, but it's a pretty big stretch to not acknowledge him as being top-level tough.
@@flatcat4078 Oh, he also owns the sixth AND seventh longest streaks of consecutive games without missing a start, and played all of last year, from start to super bowl, with a snapped MCL. And the second streak ended from a suspension, not an injury.
Sheesh u wrote a novel for this QB! try a book next time!
My mom knew this guy in college
Plummer was one hell of a quarterback. I'd take him over Cutler anytime
Facts
I liked Plummer a lot. Thought he would be perfect in Shanny’s offense. Unfortunately, he wasn’t really a student of the game and it showed when it mattered most.
He had the assets of a great quarterback but his flaws showed a lot. And I still can’t forgive him for that 2005 loss against the Steelers. We had that year but he shit the bed that day
I'm a broncos fan but that's not it. The broncos kinda fucked him over not gonna lie, he didn't deserve what he got for getting us so far every year.
Was hoping keenum was gonna be a plummer, he was an OG
Same. That didn’t go quite the same way. Plummer is much better
Jake Plummer way better then Case Kennum
Check out Brandon Allen he player near like him this Sunday. He just needs more work and we have a new Plummer.
Fifa Paco this comment didn’t age well
Carson Wentz is Jake Plummer 2.0
Broncos would have won a couple super bowls with Jake Plummer instead of playing that joke Jay doesn't cut it
We should’ve won a Super Bowl in 2005 atleast smh
@@denverbroncosarchive2263 2005 was such an exciting year and was the time the Broncos finally had a contender after Elway retired. Jake Plummer was all sorts of fun to watch and the team played hard for him too. Love to see Jake in the ring of fame someday
@@getbig2501 yeah he should be in the ring of fame for sure
By highlights, do you mean in the football field? He sucked. One of Shannihan’s all time arrogant mistakes.
Lol. Don't give an f in the middle of the game. Hey i changed my name again. This will be permanent.
What was your old username?
Also. It's my high school mascot not the professional one. I'm still a Broncos fan. Don't worry.

PGRaiders o yeah I know u. Lol thought u was a raiders fan for a second 🙄😂
@@denverbroncosarchive2263 kinda figured lol.
Wow the left tackle doesn't hold very play
Jake Plummer > John Elway
Jale Plummer was super inconsistent, when he played good he was good, not excellent, but I remember that when the game was on the line, you could never rely on him to make a great decision to pull the team through (to be fair is not a “never”, but it was 50/50), ultimately that was the reason Shanahan drafted Jay Cutler, because he got sick of Plummer’s inconsistency.
Wasn’t so inconsistent in 2005 but yes 2006 was a rocky year. Although looking back on it, I wish we would’ve just stuck it out with Plummer instead of Cutler.
Yea how did Cutler work out🤔? Oh yea he didn't lmfaoo😂 and then Shanahan was fired the next year🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️😂😬
