Today we will start with the Best 'Back-up' (later starting) QB we ever had! At #25 QB - Norn Van Brocklin: (1949-57)
{ He switched to #11 after he began starting in 1952}
He Played for us 9 seasons, And No he was not the starting QB on the 1951 Championship team. although he did start one game in the playoff's that year!
He racked-up some great stats with us!
He had a record of 42 Wins-20Loses-3Ties and he completed 1011 of 1897 passes for 16114 Yds./118 TD's/w/127 Int's.
He played in 6 Playoff games his record is 1 win/2 Loses in them. He was 35 of 75 for 532 Yds. and #TD's in them. with 7 Int's.
He and Wade were 'Gun Lover's' too.
He also rushed for 8 TD's! and as a Punter for us he had a Record of 167 for 7073 Yds. w/a long of 70 Yds. and only had 2 Blocked!
Here's 3 of our top 5 QB's, IF not the Top 3!!
"And I'm just getting started, today, FOLKS!"
Next up Safety Don Burroughs: (1955-59)
I wanted to include him because of his time with the team!
In 5 seasons he had 21 Int's for 236 Yards.
Next up, a player you'll remember, one way or another{you'll see what I mean in a second!} WR/RB Bernie Casey: (1967-68)
He came over from the 49ers!
He had 82 receptions for 1436 Yards and 13 TD's a 17.5 aver.! NOT too shabby for a former 9er!
He also played in 1 playoff game and had 5 rec. for 82 Yds. and 1 TD, an aver. of 16.4!
IF you don't remember him yet, Maybe you remember him from his acting career ..
OR ..
Star Trek anyone!, and many other roles!! ( I had to include this when I found It!)
I have to take a break, Back shortly with 3 more!
Have at me!!
GO RAMS!!
