The Resilience of Jim Plunkett, a Raiders Legend
The Resilience of Jim Plunkett, a Raiders Legend
In 1971 Jim Plunkett graduated from Stanford University as a promising prospect and was chosen as the first overall pick in the 1971 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots. The expectations were immense: he was meant to be the quarterback who would finally lead the Patriots into a new era of glory. However the story took a different turn. After a few difficult seasons without leading the team to success, Plunkett felt that his time with the Patriots was coming to an end. He decided to request a trade, believing his future would shine elsewhere, and thus he ended up in San Francisco, hoping for a fresh start.
Yet the pressure Plunkett faced in ...

    To the Raider Nation: We MUST start a petition to change the name of the stadium to a "Coliseum." The Raiders have ALWAYS played in a Coliseum. Until Vegas, that is. Heck, it's Vegas! They can make it look like the colosseum in Rome. It'll fit, perfectly!

    I'm two years younger than Jim Plunkett, and I grew up a Boston Patriots fan. I remember like it was yesterday, the Pats drafting Plunkett and the miserable time he had on that team. It wasn't because Plunkett was a bad QB, but because the Patriots sucked back then. The team had no defense or offense to speak of, and the offensive line was worse than the one for Mac Jones. I was so glad to see Jim win two Super Bowls with the Raiders. If anyone deserved Super Bowl wins it was Jim Plunkett. WAKE UP, HOF!

    Shouldn’t be in any hall of fame. Piece of garbage who doesn’t care about paralyzing other players. If he was playing on the other side of the ball I’m sure he’d feel different about how he “played the game”. Hitting defense receivers without the ball. That’s not hard to do. You just run at them and spear them with your helmet

    The Raiders have had an impressive list of names that has played for the franchise over the decades especially in the 70s and 80s and have like and admired a lot of them. But one player for me stood head and shoulders above them all. Jim Plunkett was that man and is still my favourite Raider to this day. Not growing up in the USA, my introduction to American football was by a sports programme who a week after the Eagles/Raiders super bowl showed the highlights comparing it to an equivalent soccer match final from the country. I watch enthralled as this strange looking game unfolded and the one name I kept hearing was Jim Plunkett. Next I remember the Raiders/Redskins super bowl game was televised live and I remember nervously watching it live as I rooted for the Raiders and especially Jim Plunkett. I had no idea how they got there, who were favourites and what the rules were at this time, but for 3 hours I could not take my eyes of this fantastic spectacle. I was thrilled for Jim and the other name from the night, Marcus Allen, who broke all sort of records on the night. I also remember seeing my favourite actor James Garner walking the side-lines encouraging the players and praising them for a sack, a stop or interception. Sadly 1984 was to be the end of the Raiders for the next 40 years as they have failed miserable and have become one of the worst teams in the NFL ever. I am grateful to have been a fan when the team played exciting smash mouth football, took no prisoners and more importantly won divisions and super bowls. These days will never ever return to this teams but I console myself by watching SB 18 and relive what once was. Thank you Jim for being the greatest Raider of all time in my eyes.

    Such a great back story in high school and life! I won’t go the hall till James is in. They keep pete rose out cuz off the field stuff well then take into consideration Jim’s off the field story and his personal come back in the pros. He could have just quit but being his parents son he knew what real setbacks were and knew exactly how to tackle them. It’s his story we want children to learn. My dad travelled all day to take me and my brother to see Jim play in college. he wanted us to see a real great athlete. We lived in the boonies. That day he set the ncaa passing record for most yards. I’ll never forget that day, my dad, and Jim. My brother became an all American basketball player I was team captain baseball, football, basketball. Kids need hero’s real hero’s that over come real obstacles! Vote Jim in!!
