He was the QB on the field when I saw my very first Rams game that made me a fan....The 1976 14 to 12 Playoff at Dallas. I actually remember seeing Haden score one of the TDs. He was the QB for my first several years as a fan. Thing is...I was brand new and too young to know. I quickly became a Vince fan because things started happening on O. The 1979 Playoff win at Dallas is STILL my all time favorite Rams game. YES, even more than our SB wins. But by 1980 and especially 81, I knew Haden was just no good. EARLY in my fandom, I was very frustrated with Haden in The Mud Bowl. But overall, Haden has a special place because I still remember the excitement of him scoring vs Dallas in 76. It was a big part of the trigger of me being a fan.
LOLOL But with allllll my rambling and 47 years of hindsight, I TOTALLY get why fans cannot stand him.
