Silver Minings: Jim Plunkett among most underrated quarterbacks

Plunkett won two rings with the Silver and Black

Tom Flores, Jim Plunkett

In my mind, Jim Plunkett belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

After all, he is the only Hall of Fame-eligible quarterback to win two or more Super Bowl rings as a starter not in the Canton, Ohio, museum. Still, Plunkett — who quarterbacked the Raiders to Super Bowl wins in Super Bowls XV and XVIII and was the MVP in Super Bowl XV — does not get the historical credit he is due.
