I was talking about Steve Young.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
That was 39 years ago. All that I remember is that it was obvious that Young was going to be special. A good comparison of Young and Deberg would be Bradshaw (11.0 INT pct) and Hanratty (4.0 INT rate) in 1970. Despite the numbers, it was obvious that Hanratty was mediocre and that Bradshaw was going to be a great one. I was hoping the Rams would get Young back in the 1980s.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com

Growing up in Tampa, I watched him take over a team that had started out 0-26 and then taking them to the playoffs two years later. It was a sad day in 1982 when he left the Bucs, which had one of the worst owners in the NFL. After a stint in the USFL, he returned to the NFL and won a Super Bowl with the Redskins.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
I forgot to mention 1976-01-05. The Rams don't appear on the cover, but there is a story about the playoff game with the Cardinals.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
All past issues of Sports Illustrated may be accessed here. Listed below are some of the memorable articles that have covered the Rams over the years. I know there are many others.

I had been pulling for the Lions all season, but that started to change during the playoff game. There were various incidents, such as the uncalled forearm to Stafford's head and other things that have been discussed on this board. The kneecap sign was the final straw for me.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com

His positivity, leadership, and dedication were second to none. The results he achieved with the Eagles, Rams, and Chiefs were amazing. He never had any kind of an ego problem and thus was willing to bring on the best assistant coaches and delegate authority to them.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
It was amazing that SI went to press on Monday, and I usually received my copy in the mail each Thursday. First subscribing in 1970, I will never forget the 12-7-70 issue with Roman Gabriel and LOS ANGELES BATTLES BACK on the cover, the 10-17-83 issue with Eric Dickerson and RUNNING WILD on the cover, the 12-17-84 issue with Dickerson and RUSH TO GLORY on the cover, the 10-18-99 issue with Kurtby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
He was also 4-7 as an interim HC. Never impressed with him as the Rams DC, I would be elated if he gets hired as a HC. The Rams could then hopefully bring in a much more effective DC and get two 3rd round picks, but I doubt that it will ever happen.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
Besides all of that, how many times did the Rams defer only to go three and out to start the second half?by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
What you are saying precisely reflects my thoughts after watching that game. I had always liked the Lions going back more than 50 years, when they had Greg Landry, Lem Barney, Charlie Sanders, etc. and used to play the Vikings tough. The 1970 team had an amazing run late in the season. Years later, it was Billy Sims and then Barry Sanders. I had been pulling for the current Lions team, but I nowby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com

It is unfortunate that inept refs decided another Lions game. There was the fiasco in Dallas, but this time they handed the game to the Lions. I have not yet had a chance to read other posts about the refs in this game. So this post is based entirely upon what I saw. The non-call on obvious defensive holding was without question the deciding factor. As the replay showed, it was a clear-cut case oby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com

I don't know about next year and the salary cap. I'm talking about right now -- going forward in the playoffs.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
Send him in on certain short yardage and goal line situations. Stafford is good in such situations, but it seems that Wentz is better. The Rams don't just need to have him run in those situations. He's a dual threat, which makes it all the better for the Rams to exploit his skills in such scenarios.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
According to the Playoff Picture site at ESPN, the 49ers have a 60% chance of making the Super Bowl. For that to be true, they would need to have, on the average, a 77.5% chance of winning each of their playoff games. I think the 49ers chances would be more like 55% to 65% in those games. If it's 55%, they have a 30% chance of going to the Super Bowl. If it's 65%, they have a 42% chance of goingby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com

..how he has certain blind spots. Failing to address the kicker situation (during the offseason and then during the season) was very costly to the Rams. It very nearly cost them the game against the Giants, which could have kept them out of the playoffs. It is essential to be able to kick a longer-than-chip-shot FG with confidence that it will be good rather than leaving the opponent with good fiby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
