Horrible news. The best Offensive player on the team when I became a fan (74). 200-yard Playoff game at Home against the Cards in '75. Came one quarter short of getting him that Ring in '79. One of the greats.
As someone born in '52 -- let me say, that is waaayy to early. RIP Lawrence.
I didn't see much of his career, 'cuz the Navy didn't see the value in providing sports to the folks not residing stateside, but he was an impact player.... He probably covered on a few Street & Smiths, SI, Pro Football Weekly.

Hard running Clutch was a favorite of mine. He made 5 Pro Bowls when they meant something. RIP Clutch

Peace to Lawrence McCutcheon.
One of the smoothest, crease finding backs I've ever seen.
Not a lot of giddy-up, but a solid and consistent back.

I was at that game. Jim Hart was the QB for St Louis. Second to last game I attended with my dad - the last being Joe Namath vs SF a couple years later.
A legend no doubt, but before my time unfortunately. Would have been cool to see the 70s guys firsthand. RIP.
And if only Cromwell had have held on to that ball.
My first favorite Ram after I became a fan.
RIP Lawrence. Thanks for some great memories.

The first great RB of my Rams fandom. Maybe not an all time great, but a hardnosed runner that cranked out 1000 yrd seasons in 14 game schedules when a 1000 yds meant something.
I forgot just how smooth he was. Great Rams offensive line. long video that doesn't take long to see how smooth he was.

Can this week get any worse
McCutcheon was awesome.
McCutcheon was awesome.
Loved Lawrence McCutcheon, absolutely loved him. From the way he played to beating O.J. Simpson in the obstacle course in battle of the stars on ABC.
McCutcheon great player & a great scout for the Rams too. Tough week for all of us.
RIP Clutch, it was an honor & privilege to watch you play.

Just last week I was telling my son how McCutcheon would 3 and 4 yard a defense all day long. He is one of my all-time favorites. Dude just showed up every week and did his job. Rest in peace.
Same here.
If someone becomes a die-hard-fan at a young age, you inherit some players already well into their careers ... for me, that was Roman Gabriel, Deacon Jones, Merlin Olsen and Coy Bacon.
McCutcheon was my 1st favorite New Ram ... just ahead of Jack Youngblood, Isiah Robertson & Larry Brooks
Big part of it for me, as a young boy, was simply how Cool McCutcheon looked running-with-the-football.

He too was my first Rams running back as when I became a fan in 1973.
I have always been so proud to be a RAMS fan and him with that team in 1973 set me up for this lifelong journey.
Thank you Mr. McCutcheon You brought this boy so much enjoyment in my lifetime.
Rest well sir.
GO RAMS!!!

Look at big guard Joe Scibelli #71 leading the way. With #16 Ron Jaworski the QB they should have kept looking on.
