My dad always thought the worst of Rams QBs

Think he liked Warner though

Edit - I am looking at your quote at the bottom - I'm screwed

Me too - I was too young to really remember Roman Gabriel well

Only knew my dad disliked Roman Gabriel

My Dad still is a New York Giant fan and loved Fran Tarkenton and disliked most others that came after him. He finally admitting to liking Phil Simms, but did not like Eli Manning. My Dad never liked a QB who could not scramble, could not stand Norm Snead or Craig Morton I can still hear him yelling "Move up in the pocket."

I was too young for Gabriel also, but he was very special and when the Rams acquired Hadl & then traded Gabriel to Philadelphia I was sad, little did I know that trade worked out for the Los Angeles Rams.

You're the same age as my Uncle (more like a brother) and he got me into football & sports at a young age. I was always playing against kids that were usually 4 years older then me, but my Uncle provided me with information, cards, articles so I picked it up at an early age.

I wish the Hadl era had lasted a little longer--after him and Gabe we went a long dry period of mediocre/bad QBs and QB injuries. BUT we got a huge haul for Hadl, and it was well played because his career was done. https://www.sportscasting.com/the-1974-john-hadl-trade-set-the-green-bay-packers-back-two-decades/

That kills me, but Hadl was 33 at the time same as Gabe. Problem with that was the Rams should have stuck with Ron Jaworski, instead, they went Pat Haden. Haden might have been smarter, but Jaworski was bigger, stronger and had a rifle for an arm.

No doubt. Jaworski might have been the difference in how we view the Rams in the 70's. We may have missed out on a couple of Super Bowl wins....

There were reports about GM Don Klosterman commenting on how inaccurate Jaworski was and at a team function after Klosterman made a comment, Jaworski hit him in the head with a beer can. So that could have been an issue, however, Klosterman drafted Jaworski in the 2nd round in 1973 so he thought highly about him then.
