Jim Plunkett was OVERRATED!

[underpants]

LOOK!..Think about it folks....the media has been very desirous that a quarterback who is the son of blind migrant workers do well..........



because......you see that is the reason he got into the bastion of liberalism that is Stanford University I mean hehe they even let the spawn of the Clinton's in........there was a little hope invested in Plunkett, and he got credit for the performance of his team that he didn't deserve and he won a Heisman trophy.....


ON EDIT
:eyes::silly::crazy:

1. He also won a Super Bowl Ring

The guy was a scrapper to the end....

2. Yeah he was

unfortuneately his talent was wasted on some God awful Patriot teams early in his career.

6. What did you expect from the Pats in that era?

I mean, really! Ray Berry (a bit later) starts Tony Eason (Mr. I-can-hear-footsteps-50 yds-away, so -time-to-spike-the-ball) over Steve Grogan (who actually won the AFC championship for them) in the Super Bowl. These were not very smart people. Plunkett never had a chance in New England, and was blamed for everything, except perhaps the blizzard of '78. I was glad when he went to the Raiders.

3. I think he won two. Staebler won Oakland's first Super Bowl and Plunkett

was QB for the other two.

4. Right '81 and '84

5. Jim Plunkett trivia:

Anyone remember who his ace little receiver was at Stanford?

8. Randy Vataha

[Awsi Dooger]

9. Yep

I was just old enough to follow sports in the late '60s/early '70s. It was a running game, but the 3 premier pass/catch combos were:

* Bill Montgomery to Chuck Dicus, Arkansas
* John Reaves to Carlos Alvarez, Florida
* Jim Plunkett to Randy Vataha, Stanford

10. Do you remember the game in which

Vataha volunteered to play on the special teams because there were so many injuries? I don't remember who they were playing, but thought it was very cool of him to do that.

[Awsi Dooger]

11. No, but it sounds like Vataha

Mostly I remember the great adjustments he made on the deep ball, sometimes looking straight back over his head.

7. I loved Jim Plunkett

might still have an autographed photo around....
