Life with Shanahan.

... But Shanahan wanted perfection and he wore a lot of us down there."
Plummer didn't sound surprised by the current circus unfolding in Washington, D.C., between Shanahan and Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb(notes).
"I think Shanahan is still searching for John Elway," Plummer said. "Somehow, someway, he thinks there's going to be another guy like John Elway."
"He coached a team to almost perfection (with Elway) so he wanted that again, he wanted that every time we went out there. It's just not realistic."

However, there's one final thing he fantasizes about doing on the gridiron.
Said Plummer: "I would like to go in one more game and roll to my left and throw a ball, a sick wobbly lob pass to Larry Fitzgerald(notes) and he'd go up against eight (defensive backs) and pull it down and make me look good."

I don't think football was ever the main thing for Jake. His best friend at ASU was Pat Tillman, who joined the Army rather then continue playing for the Arizona Cardinals, because serving his country was more important to him than the NFL. Sounds like Jake is happy with his life. That's what it's all about.
