Re: Appel's pick of the day - Corey Dillon

Ok I can see how you could disagree with that statement, but I still happen to
believe he IS a stud.  Look at the QB's starting around the league.  Plummer is
EASILY better than half of them and he's playing for a VERY collector friendly
team in a good offensive system.

What QB's in the NFL do you consider studs?

There are SO many "stars" right now that aren't doing well AT ALL.  I can only
think of a handful of like 10 QB's in the NFL worth half a crap right now and I
would certainly put Plummer in that group.

Both Steve Beurlein and Danny Kannell have looked like absolute garbage in
Denver after Plummer was hurt.  Granted, I dont ever remember seeing Kannell
NOT look like crap, but still...
