How good would the New England Patriots have been in the 1970s had they just been able to protect the great talented quarterback Jim Plunkett, who had all the tools in the world to be a great quarterback but never had a good offensive line or running game while in Boston and was always under pressure, having to get himself back up with all of the punishment he took for the Patriots. If he had had a solid offense around him, he probably would not have ended up a two-time Super Bowl Champion with the Raiders.
