Everyone looks at the shiny sexy stars and forgets the real grinders and guts legends of the game.
I always feel the worse for Jim Plunkett. He was considered toast in the league and got his last shot playing for a used car salesman named Tom Flores.
All he did was win 2 Superbowls as huge underdogs against Wasington and Philly. Led the first ever Wild Card team to a Superbowl win. Has the 4th highest ever QB rating in a Superbowl against Philly. He had lots of talent and threw the bomb better than a lot of past and present QB's. Yet today he's not talked about and is stuck on the island waiting for Santa with Charlie in a Box, The Choo Choo with Square wheels, the water gun that shoots Jelly, and the Cowboy riding an ostrich just hoping someone will remember him this Christmas. I remember Jim. Give your Heisman a hug and Merry Christmas. Who is the NFL hero you think has been forgotten and sent to the Island of Misfit boys with Jim Plunkett?
