Count Down - Jersey #7

[DaveFan'51]

As you probably know there is only one Player in Rams History ever to wear #7 and that's K/P/QB Bob Waterfield: (1945-52)

He is the only Rams QB to Win two NFL Championships Games, 1945 and 1951!

He also Won:
* 3 Conference Championships (1945-'50-'51)
* 2 Division Titles (1945 & '49)
And he also took us to the Playoff in 5 of his 8 years with the Team. (1945-'49-'50-'51-'52) a really nice string by any standards!
He also did the Kicking and Punting too!

In 97 games he had 57 starts with a record of 14-8-0 as QB. ( starting in 1949 he split time a lot w/Van Brocklin, he was 12-2-0 while playing with Waterfield)

Bob went 814 of 1617 for 11,849 Yds. and 97 TD's w/ 128 Int's a comp % of 50.3 w/ a long of 91 Yds.
He also rushed 75 times for 21 Yds. and 13 TD'sa 0.3 aver. and he had 3 receptions for 19 Yds.

This would make someone a Great Avatar!!

He had 6 career playoff games.

Kicking he made 60 of 110 FG's (54.5%) and he connected on 315 of 336 XP's (93.8%) for a total of 315 points.

Punting he was 315 for 13,367 Yds. w/ a long of 88 Yds. he had 5 blocked and an aver. of 42.4

He was #1 in the League in Passing TD's in 1945 and 1946.
He also had the Longest TD pass in the league in 1945 (84 Yds.) and 1951 (91 Yds.)

He was also #1 in the league in Yds. per Comp. in 1945-'48-'51 (18.1-15.6-17.8 respectively)

He was also #1 in 1947-'49 and '51 in FG's made.

And he Married His High School Sweet-Heart, Jane Russell ( they both went To Van Nuys High School, So did I. NO not at the same Time!)

Recognize her now!?!

Bob Was a 2x Pro-Bowl man and 3x All-Pro. He went into the Hall of Fame in 1965.
And He was Head coach of the Rams from 1960-1962.

Well I think I pretty much covered this! OR do you have More Photo's, gifs, comments, memories!?

They were Married in 1943, long before they became "Super Star's". Just for general info!

It was "Rumored" Howard Hughes ( The Richest man in the World at the time) Had the Hot's for Her! " I can't see why!"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Hughes
Howard: The Amazing Mr. Hughes, Dietrich said that Hughes genuinely liked and respected Jane Russell, but never sought romantic involvement with her. According to Russell's autobiography, however, Hughes once tried to bed her after a party. Russell (who was married at the time) refused him, and Hughes promised it would never happen again. The two maintained a professional and private friendship for many years.

It is portrayed that way in the movie The Aviator staring Leonardo DiCaprio.

As Dave said, Bob Waterfield is the only Ram to have worn #7.

What a life! Quarterback for the Rams. Two Championships. Hot babe on his shoulder. (Jared? Get you a Jane Russell, pal!...and two championships, while you’re at it!!)

He also punted and kicked. Hmm. Maybe our backup QB role is already on our roster, in the person of our Ginger Golden Boy Johnny Hekker?

Anyway, Bob Waterfield stands alone today, as we head into our final week countdown.
