, but for some reason GM Don Klosterman, who drafted Jaworski over Dan Foutes for example, felt Jaws was not very accurate.
Jaws ended up playing his option out and became a free agent, Rams traded his rights for the rights to for Charlie Young. Jaws didn't help matters
by throwing a beer bottle in the vicinity of Klosterman's head.
Knox would have stuck with Harris in 1976 had he not been injured but after the 1976 Bengals game Rosenbloom stepped in and made Knox
start Haden. Before that it was musical chairs because of injuries to all 3 QBs.
Haden was a tease. He'd have a good game often enough that people thought he could be a winner but he lacked the kind of arm the best QBs
of that era had, Staubach, Bradshaw, all those kind of guys.
I think Rosenbloom thought he could be a Griese type . . . a guy who didn't need to throw it a lot, Rams would win by running and defense, but in playoffs
you have to be able to throw and Haden couldn't get it done against the good teams.
I am with you on this one, Rams should have stuck with Jaws, he had arm legs, attitude...him rather than Haden---from through maybe early 1980s . .
would have made a difference
