The first Rams game I ever saw.....The 14 to 12 win at Dallas in the 1976 Playoffs, Haden was THE QB AND scored the game winning TD. HE is the reason why #11 is my favorite football number. BUT......I was only 9 and all I knew of the Rams QB situation. #11 always stuck with me and was cemented when Everett took over. OF COURSE....The old school B&Y road and home jerseys I recently bought from Throwback Joe's are #11.....with MY name on the back. So for me....Haden was far from the best but there's a nostalgia thing for me.
P.S. Even at age 10 and my second year as a fan, I knew a change was needed in The Mud Bowl!! UUUUGH!
