I don't think it will happen, either. Like I said, I'm dreaming of the absolute best-case scenario ...... and if by some infinitesimal chance
IT DOES happen, I can call dibs.

I'm comparing their failures in the first 6 to 7 years of their careers, not the resurgence/rebirth of Plunkett's career after that ...... that part is the proverbial dream, not the comparison. My comparison is actually Plunkett-to-Plunkett, not Plunkett-to-Jones ...... that's why I posted Plunkett's stats in New England and San Francisco, and then showed the contrast of those stats compared to the ones that he had in Oakland/LA.
And actually, I think that Jim Plunkett wouldn't feel insulted at all if he saw my post ...... I think that he'd be flattered that decades after his career ended people are still thinking of him, and pointing out how well the second half of his career went compared to how to the first half of his career went ...... "Can so-and-so (insert your QB of choice) become the next Jim Plunkett, and turn around an otherwise mediocre career after multiple years of relative futility ???" ...... I don't think that that is insulting at all.
