Comments on: AFC Championship Reflections http://www.orangeandblueblog.com/2006/01/23/afc-championship-reflections/ By the fans. For the fans.

He could have blown up and blame the O-line, but he didn't (and he would have had a case, too). He is still working the demons of Arizona out of his system, and we may have seen the last of them. His performance this year was not thrilling, but it was consistent, which is much more than we could say in years past. Jake will come back better next year, and when/if they make it back to the AFC title game, let's hope he has to do less dancing away from sacks/getting up from his backside/getting hit, and more play like we saw in the regular season. ~Tommy I have to say, Jake took his lumps like a man.

Like Stewart Plummer had the reputation of throwing bad passes and getting intercepted and like Plummer Stewart went to Pro-Bowl that year and was considered MVP award. After his performance in the AFC Championship game the Steelers realized that Stewart wasn't the quarterback to lead his team to the Super Bowl and was briefly replaced by Tommy Maddox before giving it away to Ben Roethlisberger after being drafted in the first round. I'm not saying that Plummer is Kordell Stewart, infact his alot better than him and his capable in leading his team to the Super Bowl. But I think the Broncos should consider drafting a quarterback in possibly in the 2nd round like Omar Jacobs from Bowling Green, Brodie Croyle from Alabama, Darrell Hackney from UAB or Barrick Nealy from Texas State. I think if the Broncos build an offence with a strong running game around a young quarterback like the Steelers did with Ben Roethlisberger in his first year he'll eventally grow during the season and possibly in his second year he may lead his team back to a Super Bowl contention. In just my opinion and I want to congraulation on your team for a wonderful season.
