When Youngblood gets you in the backfield, you're gonna hear about it!


One of Youngblood's two career safeties!


A Pick6 for Jack!


Chop blocks can't slow Youngblood down!

Well .. all three where different Era's, and Lundy was a member of the "Fearsome Foursome"! Just sayin'! But Jack was Great no doubt about it!

Jack was the greatest IMHO along with David "Deacon" Jones as well.

Awesome videos, thanks!

Obviously you can only retire so many numbers, but I would think Orlando Pace should be honored in that way...

Badass falls short really. When I saw 85 there was immediately one picture in my mind...that one in your avi.

Yup - defines "badassedness" - (compliments of @badnews).
Good to see you again - either you haven't been around much, or I haven't been paying attention.

Loved me some Jack! Back in the day, he was one of my first favorite Rams. When we think of the Rams, Jack is the first image that comes to mind.

This image cracks me up. I remember when Wonder Bread marketed football cards. My mom sent up to the corner store for some butter once, when I was around 13, (1978?) and I got caught up checking out the loaves of Wonder Bread, with the football cards.

Well I returned home (about 45 minutes later!!!) my mom said, "Where have you been, and why did you buy bread? I sent you up there for butter!"

Bread, butter. Some people just like to split hairs.

:snicker:

Definitely 1 and 1a in my Book! Of course I, personally put Deacon at #1!!

Maybe after they put him in the Hall of Fame!

@CodeMonkey created my avatar and many other great ones around here last year! We definitely don't hear enough from him lately!

Jack Youngblood....says it all...

Didn't know Big Daddy was a Ram....

And someone on here told me Jack's 85 was retired....as it should be. Greatest Ram ever....

 

[Farr Be It]

OK Folks, your turn, Lets see some of those photos, and gifs I know you have!!

As evidenced by many of your avatars Jack Youngblood might be the greatest Ram ever. Surely one of my favorites! (Although I have this weird thing when I see his pictures now that he is actually @OldSchool and lives up near Reno. )
