I haven't uttered the fuckers name since throwing that interception to Lambert that cost us Super Bowl XIV. 
Get off Ferragamo.I haven't uttered the fuckers name since throwing that interception to Lambert that cost us Super Bowl XIV.
Cromwell dropped a Int in the end zone that game.
Luv me some Vince and that skank Georgia should have never let him go to Canada.

That wasn't a great pass, but overall, Vince made more clutch throws than not.I haven't uttered the fuckers name since throwing that interception to Lambert that cost us Super Bowl XIV.
I do wish the Rams had 6-7 years with Ferragamo. Haden was pathetic. They would have probably had another Super Bowl.

I will say though, he really fell apart in 84' before his injury. YouTube had a 1984 game vs the Steelers. I started watching it a few weeks ago and he threw multiple INTs and they were gawd awful picks. That was coming off other games where the announcers mentioned how he threw multiple INTs on those games. Had to go look it up and he threw 8 picks in his only 3 games that year.
I remember him being pretty good in 83', but he threw 23 INTs that year to only 22 TDs. That was with having Eric Dickerson where teams had to gameplan for him. The passing game should have been under less stress.
Could be a case of not having a well coordinated passing attack. Would have been interesting to see what he would have done had he played under Zampeze.
Yes, Ferragano's Best FULL Season was 1980. A Legitimate 11-5, wild-card team, lost at Dallas in WC Playoff. 1979 was in relief, almost pulled it off, but the Lambert Interception with Waddy open was horrible. Also good in '83, his last good year. 9-7 and Playoffs, and a Playoff win in Dallas, before succumbing to Washington.

His arm wasn't the same when he came back from Canada. So it looked like he was throwing certain passes late when he used to go bombs away in 1980. Maybe the OC shares some blame, but by 1984 he was done. When the Bills later signed him and then the Packers in 1985 he was throwing late on almost every pass. The witch being too cheap to pay him caused him to go to Canada. Rams got nothing for that other than a shell-shocked QB coming back. She didn't want to pay Hacksaw Reynolds either and he went to the whiners and fired up their D.

If you look at his numbers w/o knowing the name he doesn't come off as any kind of star. Outside of the SB run, the 1980 season and his 500+ yd game in '82 he was a pretty average player.

I used to love hearing Howard Cosell saying Vince Ferragamo's name
Nice little retrospective. As Pearlman points out, Ferragamo's image and looks, and the hopes of what people wanted him to be, probably weren't what the reality was. Yeah, Hollywood.
For those that don't know, Jeff Pearlman is an actual professional writer and not just one of those semi-sentient content creators that seem popular among some fans.

Really? Better than Blade? I always thought Vinny’s passes looked like ducks up there that somehow mostly hit their mark.
I can remember TV announcers talking about Vince's arm. Threw "frozen ropes" they said.
But come on, the best deep arm is Stafford.
Watching Haden try and throw deep was painful . He might have been able to throw the ball 50 yards in the air........maybe.

I’m biased I disliked Haden so much Ferragamo was godlike to me plus the pass to Waddy in Dallas that was a dime not a duck.
