ESPN.com just posted
a story about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As we’ve said before (though maybe it was just among ourselves and not
on the site) Chris Simms may be a nice guy and a tough guy but he’s no Jeff Garcia. And while we’re on the
subject, Jeff Garcia (age 37) is no JAKE PLUMMER. Why is this important? Because apparently coach Jon Gruden is
still doing his best to convince THE SNAKE to slither out of his premature retirement and back up Jeff Garcia for the Bucs.
We here at LetPlummerPlay.com are all for this and more. “Wait a minute,” you say. “Why would
you guys want Jake to simply collect six million dollars for holding a clipboard and patting Garcia on the ass when he comes
off the field? Isn’t the whole point of your site based on the idea of LETTING PLUMMER PLAY?”
Damn
skippy! That’s why we’re getting excited. Coach Gruden isn’t impressed at all by Chris Simms
or the other backups he has waiting to hold the clipboard for Jeff Garcia. Gruden is doing the same thing we’d
be doing: trying to get Jake Plummer’s ass on the grass! We here at LPP know one thing about Jake Plummer: the
man simply ROCKS. Jeff Garcia isn’t going to do anything in TampaBay.
TAMPABAY?
You’re kidding right? The guy’s 37 years old and TampaBay is not Philadelphia. Philadelphia could give a QB a little protection in the pocket.
TampaBay’s
crappy offensive line left Chris Simms WITHOUT A SPLEEN because they couldn’t protect him. Jeff Garcia won’t
be mobile enough to avoid getting creamed regularly. Plus, Philadelphia
had Brian Westbrook, one of the most versatile offensive weapons in the league. TampaBay has the a lemon named Cadillac Williams,
at least for the 5-7 games he plays when he isn’t injured. Plus, Garcia had a reliable receiver in Donte Stallworth
in Philly while TampaBay
has...has...who the hell do they have? Nobody! Jeff Garcia is a decent pocket QB who is not going to have any
time at all in the pocket...therefore he stops being decent and becomes a guy with a big “HIT ME” sign on his
chest.
With
that in mind, who could play out of the pocket...you know, a scrambling QB who could throw on the run when the line crumbled?
Hmm...what available QBs could Tampa Bay pick up that can scramble and improvise on the fly...wow, whom could they possibly
acquire, maybe someone who’s got experience, but who’s still in good shape and relatively young...is there anyone?
Wait,
they have someone ALREADY UNDER CONTRACT: IT’S JAKE, BABY!!! It’s a foregone conclusion that Garcia will
either play himself out of the starting job or get pulverized when Brian Urlacher or Shawn Merriman blows by his blocker and
puts the imprint of Jeff Garcia’s facemask into the turf.
Snake,
if you decide to bite the bullet, take your money, and slap on the headset, then good things will come to those who wait.
There’s no shame in a veteran having to wait his turn to shine again just because no one appreciates what he’s
capable of doing. Crumple up the retirement form you keep forgetting to mail in, get on down to Tampa Bay, and get ready
to BRING IT in about, oh, November or so. You can do it, Jake! We believe in you! Suit up in the crimson
and pewter and report to camp so Chucky can...
LET
PLUMMER PLAY!!!

Jake Plummer Denver Broncos Tribute
It's OFFICIAL. Jake calls it quits. The NFL
has officially received his retirement papers and inside sources say Jake has no desire to play football. We stand by his
decision and have just created this brand new Retirement Tribute video for him. ALSO SCROLL DOWN below the "My Way" lyrics
for our FIRST EVER tribute to Mike ASSahan "Offensive Genius" You will not want to miss this video.
Regrets, I've had a few; But then again,
too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course; Each
careful step along the byway, But more, much more than this, I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure
you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it
out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried. I've had my fill;
my share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that; And may
I say - not in a shy way, "No, oh no not me, I did it my way".
For what is a man, what has he got? If not
himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows
I took the blows - And did it my way!
