You have to wonder how a guy that started 3-1 with a not so horrible loss at Notre Dame got yanked. Just read the fan blogs after the narrow win over Illinois, which was Plummer's last game as a starter. Some of the fans were saying that Plummer does not see the whole field and tends to panick on some throws. His replacement led Purdue to a monster upset over Michigan State, which was undefeated at the time and coming off a win over Ohio State.
What intrigues me about this story is that Purdue had a good enough number two to replace the starter (Plummer) who had just gone 3-1 to open the season. Utah did the same thing and turned their season around. Why can't that happen at Cal?
Hate to be cynical but how is a 2nd string Qb from Purdue an improvement over Garbers or Millner? I’m super skeptical of this one. Hope I’m wrong but doesn’t pass the smell test. I would have preferred to stay in the Slovis sweepstakes
My co-worker is a Purdue alum/fan. I asked him about Plummer. His response
Solid QB, mobile, accurate, takes care of the ball, but needs to be more aggressive throwing the ball downfield. Sound familiar?
I think Wilcox favors a QB that doesn't turn the ball over versus one that likes to score points.
hmmm, we can edit our comments now, hell everything in the Cal community is improving!!!

First dedicated look I've had with this vid. First blush, similar to Chase yet he looked a bit smoother and a bit more deft of a passer.
Is this official?
I think Kai Milner has the arm and the athleticism to take the job with good coaching. Let's wait and see.
For the last 22 hours he has "reportedly" transferred. Has he or hasn't he transferred? With recruits today you never know.
But wait- he isn't coming to Cal- he's going to "California University" according to Perdue SI: https://www.si.com/college/purdue/football/report-purdue-transfer-quarterback-jack-plummer-headed-to-california
Someone said Perdue kids are smart...
MiLLner he spells his name with 2 "L". miLLner!!!!!!!!!
