Interesting quote from the article:
Couch and Leaf were abject failures, Mirer never really made it and Plunkett's career was careening toward oblivion before he righted the ship and won two Super Bowl rings with the Raiders in his mid-30s.
Yeah, other than those two Super Bowl things, the guy was a bust... ???
IIRC, Plunkett was ROY behind an O-line with the Patriots that , in its entirety [and with the second-string thrown in for good measure] probably was slightly less effective than David DeCastro would be if you tied his arms and legs together and blindfolded him. Forget about oblivion, Plunkett had to spend a few years "careening for his life..."
I hope Andrew isn't forced to do the same. I imagine it's a little harder to cattouse people in the NFL...
