I was sitting around here in Korea wondering what Jerseys to have made when I asked myself. Who was my favorite? At first I had to say that Eric Dickerson was by far the best Ram ever to have played. I still laugh at the time Eric said "OJ who?" on national television. But what about Warner? and then Isaac Bruce jumped up at me as well as Tory Holt, Marshal Faulk, Az-Zahir Hakim and veteran Ricky Proehl. Surely I could not count out any one from the Greatest Show on Earth/Terf. I still watch those Superbowls when I'm blue. And then my mind came to Jim Everett and Henry Ellard. I still remember fondly Everett, Ellard and Flipper Anderson. I would have to add the names Jim and Jack Youngblood, Nolan Cromwell and Hacksaw to that list as well. So as I sit here and try to decide, Who is your favorite and why?

Re: Who is your Favorite Ram of all time.
It used to be Marshall Faulk until he criticized Spags recently. Now its Kurt Warner because he stated "It's not the way I threw the football, it's not particular games that I won, but that they remember that here's a guy that believed, that worked hard." Saying that he wanted his legacy to be remembered not by the records he put but by how he worked hard to bring himself to the top really shows that he is an ideal player both character and talent-wise, and that is why he is my favorite Ram of all time.

From the same era I'd go with Kevin Greene as my favourite Ram, although he later went and spoiled it by signing with they-who-shall-not-be-named.

Re: Who is your Favorite Ram of all time.
Bell had his best year after the 1988 NFL season with the Rams, in which he had 1,212 rushing yards and led the league with sixteen touchdowns. He had a similar season the year after in which Bell had 1137 rushing yards and fifteen touchdowns, again leading the league. Winner of the NFL comeback award. He played three seasons for us 1987 1988 and 1989. 568 rushing attempts 2375 yards 31 touchdowns resulting in 2643 all purpose yards 34 touchdowns. Longest run from scrimage 47 yards. Retired one year later with the Raiders.

Re: Who is your Favorite Ram of all time.
In 1985 Dieter Brock played for the Los Angeles Rams before retiring from football. Technically a rookie during his one season with the Rams, Brock led the team to an NFC Championship Game matchup with the Chicago Bears, and set team rookie records for passing yards (2,658), touchdown passes (16), and passer rating (81.8). All these records were still on the books at the end of 2006. He also was sacked 51 times and trew 13 interceptions. He never fumbled.

We all have our favorite players. Most are among the Rams' All-Time Greats.
The Hall of Famers...
The All-Pros...
The Pro Bowl players...
But, looking back, which unsung Ram player, who isn't in the HOF, and NEVER made a Pro Bowl or All-Pro team, is your favorite.
Let's give them their due!-

by NJ Ramsfan1The mood hit me to go outside the box for this one, since we all hope these recent developments with Spagnuolo will bring us back to glory.It got me to thinking about why I became a Rams fan- and the great teams and players they've had over the years. I will give you my top two- which is AWFULLY difficult, since there are so many great Rams I've rooted for since I was a little kid.
#2 is Jack Youngblood- A great, great, player whose toughness, production and leadership is legendary. That he had to wait 17 years to get into the Hall of Fame is an absolute joke. Went to at least 8 pro bowls and was the 1975 NFC defensive player of the year. Unofficially had 150.5 career sacks- an unbelievable total considering he was undersized even by yesterday's standards. Learned from the great Deacon Jones and anchored a line that was part of a Rams team in the 70's that led the DECADE in total defense. And of course playing 1 1/2 games (one of which was Super Bowl XIV) on a broken leg was the stuff from which legends are made. A class guy on and off the field, he was the guy who made me a Rams fan as a 5 year old boy.
#1 is Nolan Cromwell- My childhood idol. I played safety, special teams and held for placekicks during my high school football days and wore his number (#21) in every sport I ever played and wore it during my college baseball career and in semi-pro leagues thereafter. A stellar athlete who was one of the top two or three safeties of the 80's and a guy I don't feel gets his due today as an all-time great Ram (management even disrespected him by giving Lawrence Phillips his number). I had the good fortune of teaching with a guy who knew Nolan personally- and I got his jersey I wore as a kid signed by him along with a personal letter. Both are framed in my den.
