Jim Plunkett and Barry Switzer-Sports and Torts: Jim Plunkett

Jim beat out Archie Manning and Joe Theisman for the Heisman Trophy, but had an unsuccessful NFL career, and was considered washed up by the time he came to Oakland in 1978. In 1980, an injury to Dan Pastorini gave him the starters job, and at age 33, he led the Raiders to a Superbowl victory, and earned the MVP. He is only one of 11 QB s to have won two Superbowls. Seven of them are in the Hall of Fame, three are still active.
