Lombardi had an odd take on the Wedington image.

As much as the athletic department says retiring a jersey is for a player's performance at Stanford only, I think his professional performance is taken into account. Plunkett has a couple of Super Bowl rings and a lot of pro longevity.

I completely agree, but it (influence of pro career) really applies more to Elway than to Plunkett. Plunkett won Stanford's only H-Trophy and a Rose Bowl. Elway is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

I agree, but we argued that one at the time Elway's was retired, and I didn't think it was worth bringing up.
