Jim Plunkett should be in the HOF. Without question. I’m not sure Eli even makes the NFL if his name was not Manning. He was decent at best.
no way, Plunkett is a great story but not a HOF QB
in 15 seasons he only started 144 games
in 15 seasons he threw more INTs than TDs 8 times
in 15 seasons he played the whole season 8 times
one ROTY Award, one Comeback Player, no Pro Bowls, no All Pro teams
think about that for a second, during his career the Pro Bowl took between 4 and 7 QBs total. Usually two to three QBs from each Conference. He was never considered one of the top three QBs in his Conference.
in 1980 he won Comeback player of the year, A Super Bowl, Super Bowl MVP and did not make All Pro or the Pro Bowl.
he played on only four winning teams
he was hampered by injuries and played on a lot of bad teams, but he just doesnt have the stats to be a HOF QB

Those were Plunkett's Patriot days playing for the worst team in the League as the #1 NFL draft pick as the Heisman trophy winner, running for his life because of no O-line. Think David Carr at Houston X10. And people complain about Joe Burrow's line, yeesh!
Go watch some film...the D manhandled receivers and buried QBs on every play if you had no O-line. He lost all confidence, Al Davis told him, you can still play, great touch, accurate, traded for him and said we have an O-line that can protect you...so you can read the defense, make plays and do your thing.
And he did and was the MVP of the 1980 Super Bowl. And won another in 1983.
