This is the year Jim gets in.
He should have been in years ago. He's the only QB to win two SuperBowls and not be in that are or have been eligible for induction. He adds two SB MVPs to that list. He has the yards for a career, especially in an era of stout (and largely unchecked) defenses and an emphasis on the running game. He played behind some of the worst lines in league history, and several times under the worst head coaches and GMs to do that.
So why 2017?
Because he is the only Hispanic to win the SuperBowl as a QB, and the NFL (pushed by Disney/ESPN) will make sure it happens this coming year in order to call Trump "racist" and whine about Mexicans, etc. They are pandering hard to that market, and Plunkett is going to get used to forward that agenda.
It's a damned shame it will come to that, though. Plunkett deserves to be in already, and not played as a pawn.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.
