A different time.. Cromwell still has 'legend status' as a Rams DB but he dropped a pick 6 in that Super Bowl too.
With Ferragamo, he was/is revered I think because:
- he finally helped get them over the hump and into a Super Bowl after years of coming up just short
- he followed that up with being one of the top-3 QBs in the league in 1980.
- fans feel he would have kept them from collapsing in '81 when they has the worst collective single-season QB play (Haden and Pastorini) the franchise may have ever had to that point.
- he came back and bailed them out when Bert Jones only lasted 4 games in '82
- he had a solid 1983 season and helped them get back on track and in the playoffs
But after he fell off a cliff in 1984 I don't think anyone was arguing they shouldn't have moved on in 1985.
