If you could experience one Ram’s career, whose shoes would you fill?

[AvengerRam]

What would your criteria be?

Individual success?
Team success?
Health and longevity?
Stability (not moving from team to team)?
Overcoming obstacles?
Money?

Whose career would you want?

James 'Shack' Harris.

I have long admired the way he fought against bigotry and stereotypes and blazed a path for others as both a player and exec.

 

[Faceplant]

Marshall fucking Faulk. For almost all of the reasons you listed.

 

[George Remus]

I like your premise. Please fill us in. Wikipedia only gives us a glossed/generic overview of his life.

Sam Bradford.
Not even kidding.
Last dude to take advantage of the outrageous rookie pay scale.
Barely played.

And yes, I'd blow my knee out twice for $70M+

 

[George Remus]

Marshall freaking Faulk. For almost all of the reasons you listed.

I wouldn't want Faulk's life ... on the field success? yes.

But the multiple kids, legal financial failures, and his "me too" embarrassment situation that he now has to live with? no. I wouldn't want to be Marshall Faulk now.

 

[Loyal]

Kurt Warner, without doubt.

 

[George Remus]

Isaac Bruce .... (looking at it through his eyes) ... "the guy who refused to let Bruce me retire as a Ram, Jay Zigmunt, got fired immediately after I scored my 100th TD catch, 1000th reception, and become the #2 in career reception yards ... in a 49ers uniform IN ST. LOUIS"

Someone remind me ... who was it that caught the come from behind TD pass with 2 minutes to go in the 4th quarter of Super Bowl XXXIV ?

Aaron Donald. Super successful and already considered to be one of the best ever at such a young age. Oh and he's about to get PAID.

 

[bubbaramfan]

Jack Youngblood. Blue collar, jeans and sweatshirt, no swag, just go to work and get it done.

 

[Karate61]

Vince Ferragamo!!!

[VegasRam]

No contest..
Freddy Dryer. (with apologies to Jack Youngblood, pretty much a coin flip).

 

[Angry Ram]

Individual success?
Team success?
Health and longevity?
Stability (not moving from team to team)?
Overcoming obstacles?
Money?

I'll just steal your criteria.

Individual success - Ike Bruce

Team success - Kurt Warner

Health and longevity - SJack

Stability - James Laurinaitis

Overcoming obstacles - IDK...

Money - Todd Gurley...that In 'n Out Burger money

 

[OldSchool]

I’ll be the first to say Jackie Slater. The man came to work day in and day out and kicked ass for decades. Nineteen years of earning the respect of your peers and inciting fear in your enemies. We’ve had some damn good linemen, but to me none have been as good and none nearly as long.

 

[nighttrain]

This be the only true choice!

[Ramstien]

My boy Hacksaw Reynolds.

That wasn't the question. The question was who's career.

Article is too long to paste here, it does go into detail about his time with the Rams.

Yeah, Rev Ike might be my choice after all. That wasn't a come from behind TD however, just a Superbowl winning one!
