Among the free agent quarterbacks that could be available at the start of the free agency period, Jake Plummer is often mentioned as a potential quarterback for teams looking for a starter, such as the Broncos, Bears, Ravens and Cowboys.
Although Plummer likely has a future as a NFL quarterback for the next five to ten years, the question is -- why are teams salivating over a quarterback who has, so far, had a sub-par career? Do they really think he can lead them to the playoffs.
Here are some facts that teams should not overlook.
* During the past three seasons, Plummer's record as a starter is 15-31.
* In his NFL career, Plummer has averaged 1.39 interceptions per game. He has only had two seasons that he did not throw 20 interceptions, and one of those was his rookie year.
* Successful NFL quarterbacks average about 7.0 yards per pass attempt. Plummer has exceeded 6.8 yards per attempt only three out of six seasons.
