Count Down - Jersey #13!

[DaveFan'51]

As @T-REX pointed out, in yesterday's Thread, This is an un-Lucky number, but for who!?, NOT the Rams!
And today is FRIDAY!!
Today thread is going to be lengthy, Photo wise, and stat wise! You'll see why! I hope you enjoy it!!

I'll start with, Our Great FB Paul 'Tank' Younger: (1949-57) I know we touched on him at #35, But he deserves a second Look!

He started as #13 as a Rookie, then switched to #11 ..

..I think he switched to #35 So Van Brocklin could have #11, IDK for sure!

In his 9 seasons he played in 100 games, and this I find "Funny" he only had 8 'Starts!'. We did have a few GREATS on the team in those days!!
Any He rushed 682 times for 3296 Yds. and 31 TD's an aver. of 4.8 w/ a long of 75 Yds.
He also had 84 receptions for 979 Yds. and 1 TD an aver. of 11.7 w/ a long of 54 Yds.
In 1954 He was # 1 in YPA Rushing w/ a whopping 6.7 average!

He played in 5 Playoff games.

He was a 5 time Pro Bowler and named All Pro in 1951.


NEXT UP, Punter Jon Kilgore: (1965-67)

He did spend 3 years on the Team, and I wish I could have found a better photo!!
He had 163 Punts for 6908 Yds. w/a long of 68 an aver. of 42.4 and he only had 2 punts ever blocked!


NEXT UP, QB Chris Miller: (1994-95)

He also wore #12. In his 26 games w/ the Rams he had 23 starts. He had a record of 9-14-0

Passing he went 405 of 722 for 4727 Yds. and 34 TD's w/ 29 Int's and he was sacked 59 Times.

He also rushed 42 times for 167 Yds. a 4.0 aver. w/ a long of 16 Yds.

" I really do Like this Uniform Look!!" Throw Back Uni anyone!?!


NEXT UP, QB Steve Bono: (1998)
I ONLY through him in here because you need to remember, just what we had " Pre-Warner"!

In his 6 games with the team he had 2 Starts, a record of 0-2-0.
Passing he went 69 of 136 for 807 Yds. and 5 TD's w/ 4 Int's and he was sacked 6 times.

I would have washed my hand after this hand shake!!

OK! Now the Man you've been waiting for, And the real LENGTHY part of this Thread!! "#13!" QB Kurt Warner: (1998-2003) His 1st year he wore #10.
ALERT!/WARNING! The following stats are ONLY his stats with the Rams, NOT his career Totals!!

6 seasons 53 games 50 starts and a 34-15-0 Record!

Passing he went 1121 of 1688 for 14,447 Yds. and 102 TD's w/ 65 Int's a 66.4% comp rate. w/ a long of 85 Yds.

He was Sacked 114 Times with us!

He rushed 78 times for 202 Yds. and 1 TD an aver. of 2.6 w/ a long of 23 Yds.

He played in 7 playoff games w/ a record of 5-2 ..

In them his Passing record was 169 of 268 for 2221 Yds. and 15 TD's w/ 10 Int's and a long of 77 Yds. he was sacked 12 times in the Playoff's.
He also rushed for 2 TD's in the Playoff's!

He's a 3 time Pro bowler with the Rams and a 2 Time All Pro!

In 1999 he had the #1 passer rating in the league 109.2!!

He also was #1 in 1999 in YPA it was 8.7 per.

In 2001 he was #1 with 375 completed passes for 4830 Yds. and a passer rating of 101.4!

He was #1 in Comp % 3 years in a row, 1999-2000-2001 ( 65.1%-67.7%-68.7% respectively)

"Yes! The Greatest Show On Turf!!!!"

And I'm not just talking about the "O" when I say this^!

THIS^!!!!

"Smile!"

One Last Man Today. NEXT UP, WR Chris Givens: ( 2012-present) I know, he's switched to #19 this year!

45 games and 25 starts

I hope he regains that "IT" He had the beginning of his Rookie year!

He's had 87 receptions for 1426 Yds. and 4 TD's an aver. of 16.4 w/ a long of 65!

He's shown what he is capable of.

When he's on, he's on!

I want to see a lot more of this^!

Could he be a good #5!?!

We-will-see!!


I WARNED YOU THIS WAS GOING TO BE LENGTHY!!

THAT'S it for me today, and I don't want to see No One has any more Photos, gifs, memories, or comments! there must be!!

GO RAMS!!

I wish I was around for the Warner era, instead I just got the 10 years of shitty Rams era .

I wish I was around for the Warner era, instead I just got the 10 years of crappy Rams era .

As a Great General once said, after a Big defeat, " We'll be Back!"

Same :'(

 

[T-REX]

I'll post the two most significant passes in (modern day era) RAMS history both by the man the legend #13 Kurt Warner.

The first IMO the most clutch throw in RAMS history given the circumstance at that time. Without it there may never have been a trip to Super Bowl 34.

The second was pure guts football, standing in the pocket knowing your about to get crushed and get off a throw that would be the Super Bowl winner.

 

[Legatron4]

You know, if you think about it, Kurt Warner was only good for about 6 years of his career. They were dream seasons, but it makes you wonder if he really deserves the HOF. I know, I know. He was bagging groceries. But he doesn't exactly have the numbers of a HOF QB.

Keep in mind the stats I quoted are only his stats with the Rams!
You can pretty much double them, when you add in his stats with the Card's and Giant's!
I think what he did in a short span, makes him H of F material!

You make a good point, @Legatron4, but Bledsoe didn't have 4 Probowls, 4 MVP's, 3 Superbowls, or any NFL Championships either. Warner didn't have a long enough career to compile gaudy stats. He was more of the shooting star variety. He started late and spent the middle part of his career as a backup too. The way he was able to come back from being broken just about everywhere to mentoring Manning and then earning the starting job in AZ is damn admirable.

How many #'s did Tank Younger have?

Now I see why Chris Givens changed his number....#19 is my lucky number...and the jersey I wore to Oxnard..Anybody see me?

When is Kurt's jersey being retired?

Yes, he is HOF worthy....barely...so he'll wait much longer than Pace....should go in with Bruce/Holt/Ellard...Make it a Rams weekend...Maybe 3 more years due to backlog at WR....

 

[Leuzer]

Ken Clark - Punter

Clark played in the CFL from 1975-1978 and 1980-1987, but in 1979, Clark joined the Los Angeles Rams.
Ken Clark usually punted better than 40 yards and had a hang time of 4.5 seconds.

And he played in Super Bowl XIV!

Clark has won multiple All-star honors and awards in the CFL, but his biggest accomplishment is being a Ram! :cheers:

Anybody else read Encyclopedia Brown books as a kid? A series of books about a kid who knew everything and went around solving mysteries...Sort of a kid Batman. Dave, you just made me think of that guy.

More than AWESOME job (DaveFan'51) WE celebrate you and your Superior knowledge , ability , and Great Fandom. You are a walking treasure to ALL of us young and Old alike. ThankYou just does'nt seem to be enough. Wish I could buy or send you something that would bring you happiness. Hope your Heart is as FULL as you remind all of us Older RAMS DIEHARDS what We have seen and even Forgot what we have seen. Was a Bartender in my youth and wish we could send you a very rare bottle of your favorite beverage. Cuban cigars are now available also if you have a favorite . Seems I'm trying to kill off our treasure huh. I don't do either anymore. BLESSINGS to you and ALL of yours. May your Heart always be FULL. Does the very rare RAMS memerobilia even bring you joy anymore? Or is it something just to move and dust ? If like me its the mental memories and emotions that are most valuable. If I had an addy I could fill a spot to dust very easily. I've sold over 20 K worth of Rams stuff without even touching the tip of the iceberg. You have a favorite player? Please PM me. Thanks again.

I wish I was around for the Warner era, instead I just got the 10 years of crappy Rams era .

Same man, same. I had to wait til 2007, a year where our coach almost came to blows with our star players.
