New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers
New England Patriots Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
San Francisco acquired Jim Plunkett in a blockbuster attempt to solve quarterback, but his two 49ers seasons produced a losing record and no playoff berth. The cost was enormous: Tom Owen, two 1976 first-rounders and premium 1977 choices. New England converted that package into Pete Brock, Tim Fox, Raymond Clayborn and Horace Ivory, creating multiple long-term contributors from one outgoing quarterback.
Washington Commanders acquired Tom Owen from New England Patriots for Tom Flick. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
