I doubt if Mike Shanahan is on Jake Plummer's Christmas card list...

Shanahan made Plummer a quality QB bordering on a star.. Plummer didn't quit on the Broncos, he quit after he was traded to the Bucs.. I'm sure they don't exchange holiday greetings but they went to the playoffs 3 of the 4 years he started at QB including a trip to the AFC Championship Game. Even in the 4th year he was 7-4 when he was benched for Cutler.
