Talk:Jim Plunkett

Latino

I read that Jim Plunkett may have been a Latino. Anyone know his ethnicity? May be helpful for categorization purposes.--Rockero 09:19, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I am almost sure he's part Native American. Mitchell k dwyer 10:13, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

The external link say "90% Mexican American". That doesn't seem likely, as geneology breaks down in halves, quarters, eighths, etc., and not tenths. But they might have just had the numbers wrong. NM is a highly Hispanic state, but also a highly Native American state. Maybe he hould be categorized under both? (The other 10% may be American Indian...)--Rockero 10:21, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Jim Plunkett is the only quarterback eligible for the NFL Hall of Fame that has led his team to two Superbowl victories that is not in the Superbowl. Tom Brady has won three Superbowls but is not yet elgivle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tahoejohn (talk • contribs) 01:17, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Latino?

The biographical information in the entry says that Plunkett is Mexican-American and gets his surname from his Irish-German paternal great-grandfather. I believe that makes him 7/8ths Mexican and 1/8th Irish-German if I did the sums correctly.

I'll leave it up to the ethnic experts to argue among themselves about whether Mexicans are Latino. The answer seems obvious, but maybe it isn't. I'll leave it to the experts. (71.22.47.232 (talk) 20:05, 15 September 2010 (UTC))

Being born in the state of New Mexico would not make him Mexican. However, it appears that a majority of his ancestors were Mexican/Latino and that makes him Mexican/Latino. 66.162.249.170 (talk) 21:48, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

HOF

Three paragraphs of this article are based on a single article by someone called Walter Spargo, who has three followers on Medium. https://medium.com/@xxxsparkmanxxx/about. Because scholarship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7081:4F06:2869:6C9D:7014:A1F7:C9C1 (talk) 11:07, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Stanford

Plunkett played for the Stanford CARDINALS! They have always been the Cardinals, never the Indians as cited in this article. 108.17.27.231 (talk) 21:01, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Removing the Hall of Fame debate section

I have decided to WP:BEBOLD and remove the "Hall of Fame debate section", which has been questioned on the talk page. The only 2 references that mention a "debate" appear to be a now-defunct Denver Broncos fanblog post and Raiders blog post from what appears to be non-reliable. The other references are an analysis of what constitutes an "average quarterback" in the NFL and how that standard has changed and a case for Ken Stabler's, not Plunkett's, Pro Football Hall of Fame candidacy. The final ref is regarding a completely different honor and is essentially used to wedge in other HOF's he's in (which should be added to the correct sections). There is no "annual debate" as stated in the section. Best, GPL93 (talk) 16:56, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
