Count Down - Jersey #15

[DaveFan'51]

" This being a QB driven League .."
Today, is mostly QB's Starting with, at #15 QB Frank Ryan: (1958-61) {Back-up to Billy Wade}

In 40 games he had 11 starts, and a Record of 5-5-1

Passing he went 181 of 373 for 2674 and 15 TD's w/ 23 Int's and a long of 96 Yds.

He went on to bigger things with another team!

I like this^ Field level photo!


NEXT QB UP, Terry Baker: (1963-65)

He was a Real Star coming out of College, He even looks like he was being 'Crowned' By our then GM Elroy 'Crazy-Legs' Hirsch!

He also wore #11, He only had 1 start as a QB. He went 12 of 21 for 154 Yds. and 4 Int's w/a long of 49 Yds.

He then was switched to WR/RB and ...

.. He rushed 58 times for 210 Yds. and 1 TD an aver. of 3.6 w/ a long of 18 Yds.
He had 30 receptions for 302 Yds. and 2 TD's an aver. of 10.1 w/ a long of 38 Yds.
In the end he was just another back-up to Gabriel!!


NEXT QB UP, A Real Good one!! QB Vince Ferragamo: (1977-84)

In 7 seasons he had 62 games with the Rams.

He has 44 Starts w/ a Record of 26-18-0

Passing he was 730 of 1288 for 9376 Yds. and 70 TD's w/ 71 Int's, he had a long of 85 Yds.

He was Sacked 72 times, He actually had a pretty low sack rate. In 1982 he had the lowest sack rate in the League at 3.24%

He rushed 51 times for 62 Yds. and 2 TD's

He had 6 Playoff games including SB XIV!
F-ing Steelers, We should have WON! I lost a bundle on the game!!

Anyway, Vince's Playoff Record was 3-3.
He totaled 92 of 188 for 1227 Yds. and 8TD's w/ 11 Int's and he was sacked 5 times.

He was a truly Great QB! IMHO

No Fear in him!!

He was the type of QB I wish we had now!

LAST MAN UP, and he's not a QB! WR Bradley Marquez: ( Rookie!)

I can't say anything about him because IDK anything about him!

OK that all for me for the day, I hope you've enjoyed it!

GO RAMS!!

Oh man....I used to live in a part of Orange Co where I saw a large man jogging...When he got closer, I recognized him immediately as Jackie Slater...He was just about to go up a large hill...I thought, man he's still jogging after the NFL? He must be in good shape. I saw him a lot...Couple months later, I was in my front yard cleaning up, and another large man was jogging and sweating...He was much larger than Jackie, but I though it was Jackie anyway. Figured he must have gained 50 lbs....As the man drew closer, he was sweating...profusely...I saw his face, and it was Vince Ferragamo...They feeling of awe was apparent, as I only felt like that when I saw Magic Johnson as a 17 yr old at 31 flavors many moons ago...I just yelled out, hey Vince, looking good! And he waved, and kept on moving..sweating like a hog...
Vince is/was huge...like 6'4+...I'd guess about 260-275 pounds...This was...hmmm...I'd say 2003-2004....And to me, STILL the greatest Ram QB of all time....Yeah, Kurt did what no one else could do...yada-yada...Vince was da man.....
Bradley Marquez looks damn good to me...hope we can stash him on the PS for the 2016 season.

Your meeting up with "Vince" sounds awesome! It reminded me of the Time I accidently bumped into Roman Gabriel on a Plane from Chicago to L.A.!
I Don't Know how Big Roman was, but, at the Time, I was 6 ft. and 200 pounds and he made me Look like a midget! I felt my face go flush, I was in awe-of-him, I knew who he was right-away! Who wouldn't at the time!(1967)
Just my way of saying, I KNOW HOW YOU FELT!

WR - Marques Hagans.

He only played in 4 games in his rookie season. Having 8 receptions for 101 yards. Hagans was also the emergency QB for the Rams.

He was waived on August 29, 2008.

He later went on to be the emergency QB for the Chiefs but mainly stayed on the practice squad his entire NFL career in KC, IND, and WAS.

Just a couple of thing to add to this mix:
1) More on;
* WR - Bradley Marquez - 2015 Present

Last year I didn't know if he would make the Final Cut, This year I hope he does!

The kids got Style and Moves! And he's a strong ST Player!!

In his 1st year with the Rams he's played in 16 games and had 22 Targets w/ 13 Rec's for 88 Yds./ a 6.8 Aver. w/ a long of 14 Yds. and 1 Fumble.

I really like him but he is up against some strong competition this Year, which is a good thing!!

I hope he does go on the IR List!

Not much for highlights on Marquez; however, if you want to know why we have him on the team, take a look at his block on this Tavon Austin punt return last year. You get a really good look at him peeling back to eliminate a Seattle defender at the 1:01 mark. For the rookies, undrafted free agents, or veterans looking to make an NFL roster, that's how you do it.

[Farr Be It]

A fringe player, converted quarterback-to-wide receiver Kendall Thompson has one catch this preseason, for eight yards. He may not have a real opportunity to continue on the roster unless he makes an incredible impression in week 4 of preseason.

edit: Oops, I'm thinking this is not Thompson, but an old shot of Bradley Marquez.
