I think Shanny read the situation perfectly - with the exception of Jay Cutler's character. Plummer was propped up by Shanahan's zone blocking scheme which lent itself particularly well to getting Jake out of the pocket and playing to his strengths. He was not a good pocket passer, nor a particularly accurate thrower. It was a minor miracle that we had the season we did and went to the AFCG and Shanny correctly read that it was an unsustainable model moving forward.
His move was further validated when Plummer proceeded to pout and cut off his nose to spite his face by retiring. Good riddance.
plummer didn't have the work ethic to get us to the mountaintop. . . you can argue with the guys we brought in after him, but trying to find the guy who can get you there is the right choice. . .
